Marco Fabian returned to the lineup and the scoresheet, and David Accam scored his third goal in two starts as Philadelphia Union earned a second straight shutout win by knocking off FC Cincinnati 2-0.
The Union dominated possession in a rainy night in Ohio, and both teams struggled mightily to create chances early. In the 11th minute, Brenden Aaronson’s corner kick found Marco Fabian at the back post and the Mexican International lashed a shot back across goal with his right foot.
FC Cincinnati responded with a long ball over the top from defender Forrest Lasso. Darren Mattocks ran onto the bouncer but Andre Blake came out and beat his Jamaican teammate to the spot.
