There was no stopping Alexander Callens from making the decisive impact in NYCFC’s 2-1 comeback win over Philadelphia Union.
The Peruvian’s game looked to be over before the halftime interval when he went down clutching his shoulder.
Frederic Brillant was sent to warm up on the sidelines but Callens decided he was OK to carry on in spite of the pain and it proved to be a wise decision.
Of course Callens was the one to finally put down The Union resistance with his winning goal in the 85th minute to send NYCFC into the international break with three points in the bag.
