For the second straight game the Union had a late-game letdown against a New York team.
This time they might have had a better excuse.
Despite playing a man down for most of the second half, the Union appeared ready to earn one point until two late goals by the always dangerous Bradley Wright-Phillips provided the New York Red Bulls with a 2-0 win over Sunday before 17,720 at Talen Energy Stadium.
In its previous Major League Soccer game, on June 3, the Union held a 1-0 lead before surrendering goals in the 80th and 85th minutes in a 2-1 loss at New York City FC.
