Patrick Mullins scored in the 87th minute to lift New York City F.C. past the host Philadelphia Union, 2-1, in the teams’ third and final meeting.
Mullins followed Jeb Brovsky’s throw-in as it rolled into the 18-yard box, shielding defenders to line up his shot. His left-footed strike deflected off the back of defender Richie Marquez’s leg and skirted inside the right post.
C. J. Sapong opened the scoring in the 46th minute for the Union (4-9-3), converting Sebastien Le Toux’s corner kick with a right-footed shot from the center of the box. It was Sapong’s third goal in four games.
