Union beat Fire, 3-1

After nearly a month away from Talen Energy Stadium, the Philadelphia Union returned home to see off the Chicago Fire, 3-1, in front of a sellout crowd. Chris Pontius got his first two goals of the season, and CJ Sapong scored his 14th, tying Sebastien Le Toux for the club record for goals in a single season.

Pontius got his first of the night in the 10th minute, as he deftly redirected Keegan Rosenberry’s cross past Matt Lampson to give the Union an early advantage.

The cut back, the cross, and the light flick with the head from Pontius to open this game up#DOOP https://t.
