Union cruise past Houston Dynamo for 3-1 road win

Cory Burke scored the go-ahead goal in the 70th minute, helping the Philadelphia Union beat the 10-man Houston Dynamo 3-1 on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia (8-10-3) won for the third time on the road this season. Houston (7-7-6) lost for the first time in five games.

Alejandro Bedoya tied it at 1 in the 34th minute, chipping it over Joe Willis and Burke slipping past the defense to slide it through the legs of Willis. Fabrice-Jean Picault added a penalty-kick goal in second-half stoppage time.

Houston forward Mauro Manotas opened the scoring in the 10th minute with his career-high 11th goal.
