Playing their first MLS Next Pro match against the league’s lone independent team, Philadelphia Union II was unable to capitalize playing up a man for nearly a half hour and suffered their first loss since April 10.
Pedro Dolabella opened the scoring for Rochester New York FC off an assist from Jacob Akanyirige in the 33rd minute and the hosts doubled the lead when they drew a penalty and PK by Gibran Rayo in the 62nd minute.
The penalty came seconds after Akanyirige was sent off with a second yellow and the hosts managed to add another goal by Dolabella in stoppage time to complete the 3-0 win.
