Bradley leads Toronto FC to season-opening win in Philly

CHESTER, PA.—Michael Bradley scored his first goal since the 2016 season and added one in the second half for his first career multi-goal game in MLS play, as Toronto FC opened the season with a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.

Bradley, the eight-year MLS veteran who went scoreless in back-to-back 30-plus-start seasons, scored the first goal of the season in first-half stoppage time with an easy redirection of Auro’s cross to the penalty spot. His second goal in the 62nd minute also came on an open shot from the spot.
