Burke equalizer, Blake save salvages opening day point for Philadelphia Union

Cory Burke scored a 35th minute equalizer and the Philadelphia Union recovered from a disjointed start to their 2022 season to earn a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United in the first game of the MLS season at Subaru Park on Saturday.

The visitors from Saint Paul took a lead in the 23rd minute when Olivier Mbaizo was beaten off the dribble by Franco Fragapane and he set up an unmarked Robin Lod trailing the play for the finish at the far post.

The lead wasn’t undeserved for the visitors who were impressive going forward with waves of attacks orchestrated by the impressive playmaking skills of Emanuel Reynoso.
