HARRISON, N.J. — Vincent Nogueira and C. J. Sapong scored two quick second-half goals, lifting the Philadelphia Union past the Red Bulls, 2-0, on Sunday for their second straight victory.
Nogueira opened the scoring in the 57th minute, tapping in Cristian Maidana’s 20-yard strike with a back-heel flick from just outside the 6-yard box. Sapong stunned the Red Bulls with another goal five minutes later. Fabinho’s run from midfield led a counterattack, and Maidana earned his second assist of the match with a pass back to set up Fabinho’s layoff to Sapong.
The Union (3-7-3) earned their first road win in seven tries against the Red Bulls (4-2-5), who squandered a dominant first half, sending three shots off the post.
