It's the simplest of instructions and at halftime the Union clearly got the message: Shoot the ball!
After being outshot 14-1 and outscored 1-0 in the first half, the Union were an entirely different team in the final 45 minutes Wednesday night.
The aggressive offensive approach led to a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls in a round of 16 game in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at Talen Energy Stadium.
The Union, who have lost in the previous two U.S. Open Cup finals, advanced to the July 20 quarterfinals against the winner of Wednesday's New England Revolution-New York Cosmos game, which started a half-hour later.
