Rate the U: The offense enters the building

Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has been saying for weeks that once one goal came — no matter how pretty — more would follow from an offense that through the first six games of the season gave fans no reason to be optimistic.

Without giving Jim too much credit for his press conference spin, that’s pretty much what happened on Saturday.

A goal from Ilsinho that got a little help from a deflection on the way in ended a more than 240-minute scoring draught and two more goals in the second half gave the Union all three points in a 3-2 win over D.
