Red Bulls blow two-goal lead, bow out in first round

CHESTER, Pa.— Fabrice-Jean Picault scored and assisted on Marco Fabián’s goal in extra time to help the Philadelphia Union beat the Red Bulls 4-3 on Sunday and eliminate them from the playoffs.

Fabián came on in the 103rd minute and scored in the 105th when his shot from the left side deflected high off the Red Bulls’ Marc Rzatkowski into the net.

Third-seeded Philadelphia, which earned the first MLS playoff win in franchise history, will play at No. 2 seed Atlanta in the second round Thursday night.

Josh Sims blasted a right-footer from outside the top of the box to open the scoring in the sixth minute and Tim Parker’s header in the 24th gave the Red Bulls a 2-0 lead.
