Philadelphia Union II returned home from Miami with all three points and no penalty kick drama thanks to a brace from Nelson Pierre and solid goalkeeping from Brooks Thompson on Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale.
Inter Miami II took an early lead with a goal from Kobi Thomas in the 10th minute but just before halftime Nelson Pierre was able to even the score with a curling shot in the box to beat Andre Zuluaga-Silva after collecting a pass from Stefan Stojanovic.
After scoring his first MLS Next Pro goal, Pierre didn’t wait long to add a second, giving the visitors the lead on an unassisted goal in the 50th minute.
