(Reuters) - The Philadelphia Union upset the New York Red Bulls with a 2-0 victory on Sunday, their first win at their rivals in the five years since their inception.
The Eastern Conference rivals were scoreless until the 57th minute when Union midfielder Vincent Nogueira backheeled in an attempt from Cristian Maidana.
Forward C. J. Sapong tapped in a pass from defender Fabinho five minutes later.
"First and foremost, it's a big accomplishment," Union coach Jim Curtin told reporters of his side's first win in eight games at the Red Bulls home ground.
