In a must-win against one of the league’s best, all it took was a heel flick from Ilsinho in the 17th minute to push the Union back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
The Union’s 31-year old midfielder, known for his technical ability, spun a nifty feed to an incoming Haris Medunjanin, who slotted an effortless cross to C.J. Sapong for an early lead against FC Dallas.
It was the first of many plays from Ilsinho, who tallied one goal and two assists to help the Union cruise past FC Dallas, 3-1 on Saturday night at Talen Energy Stadium.
