Philadelphia Union score late to beat D.C. United and take over first in East

CHESTER, Pa. -- Richie Marquez scored his first MLS goal in the 91st minute and the Philadelphia Union beat D.C. United 1-0 on Friday night to move into first place in the Eastern Conference.

Sebastien Le Toux curled a cross into the box that went over the head of C.J. Sapong and a defender, but Marquez was left open at the far post for a sliding finish.

Philadelphia is undefeated in its last five matches, including three draws. D.C. United has lost two of its last three.

It was a battle of the goalkeepers for most of the match.
