CHESTER, PA — Cory Burke scored in the first half and Daniel Gazdag chipped in a penalty kick in the second half to lead the Philadelphia Union to a 2-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes on a chilly Saturday night.
Burke was the beneficiary of a great run from Sergio Santos, who beat his man to the end line and after dancing toward goal squared a ball to a wide open Burke for the easy tap-in in the 23rd minute.
The play was started by a long goal kick from Andre Blake and Leon Flach deflected an attempted clearance into the path of a streaking Santos, who was a frequent nemesis to the visitors from the West Coast on a night when Mikael Uhre was scratched from the lineup with a quad injury.
