Academy newcomer Jeremy Rafanello picked up where he left off last season at Continental FC, scoring the first two goals of his Philadelphia Union career in a 6-0 win over Richmond United on Saturday.

Rafanello, of Delran, N.J., led Continental with 20 goals in 24 games last season and took just 46 minutes in his first game for the Union to open his scoring account. He added his second five minutes later.

Darius Lewis opened the scoring in the 31st minute while Iverson Brisma added a goal in the 63rd minute and Liam O’Brien had a brace of his own with goals in the 73rd and 87th minutes.
