A pair of nearly identical assists from Borek Dockal led the Philadelphia Union back from a goal deficit to a 3-1 win on Wednesday night in Houston that was aided by a controversial red card.
As Jim Curtin put it, the Union’s performance was far from perfect, but a result midweek on the road in Houston is still a result this team desperately needed to stay in the playoff picture. The team is now a point out of the fifth and sixth place teams with a game in hand.
Dockal was responsible for the first two goals and Fabian Herbers set up the third for Fafa Picault from the spot when he was taken down in the box late.
