Philadelphia Union II completed the group stage sweep with a defining 2-0 win over pre-tournament favorite Phoenix Rising FC in the group 3 finale of the USL eCup Rocket League Tournament.
Union II esports captain Evan Slabicki needed only nine seconds to notch the first goal of the opening match but Phoenix Rising defender Joey Farrell fought back with a goal of his own 12 seconds later. Union II kept its composure after allowing its earliest goal of the tournament to retake the lead for good half a minute into the match.
"It was for 1st place in the group so there were some nerves going in," Slabicki told PhiladelphiaUnion.
