The Union have now equalled their franchise-best season starts from 2011 and 2013.
The Philadelphia Union took all three points in their home opener, defeating the New England Revolution 3-0. A pair of goals--one a carbon copy of the other--from CJ Sapong, and a late tap-in from Sebastien Le Toux propelled the Union to their second win in as many games.
Sapong netted his first in the 18th minute. After Andrew Farrell whiffed on a headed clearance, Sapong gathered a cross from Fabinho, turned, and fired. The ball took a deflection off José Gonçalves, throwing off goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth just enough to see the Union take the lead.
