PORTLAND, Ore. — The Philadelphia Union made a triumphal return to the win column with a convincing 2-0 win against the Portland Timbers late Sunday night into early Monday morning on the East Coast.
Daniel Gazdag scored early in the first half on an overhead kick and Sergio Santos early in the second half on a header to lead the charge in front of 22,288 at Providence Park. The Timbers thought they had pulled a goal back through Sebastian Blanco in the 70th minute but after a lengthy video review an offside was called and the goal was taken off the board.
