Philadelphia Union flattened New York City FC 2-0 Saturday night behind goals from Cory Burke and Ilsinho. Borek Dockal had two assists to give him 12 on the season as the home side outplayed David Villa and the third place Sky Blues throughout the match. After a tight opening half, Philly took control and when Ronald Matarrita was dismissed in extra time for a childish kick out at Ilsinho, it was a fitting end for a New York City team that never looked like challenging for the three points.
Jim Curtin replaced the suspended Fafa Picault with David Accam and kept CJ Sapong on the right wing next to Cory Burke.
