CHESTER, Pa. (AP):
Jakob Glesnes scored from distance in the 123rd minute and the Philadelphia Union, with Reggae Boyz Andre Blake, Alvas Powell and Cory Burke, beat the New York Red Bulls 1-0 in a match that ended a short while ago on Saturday night, in the opening match of the MLS play-offs.
The goal helped Philadelphia beat the Red Bulls in the opening round for the second time in three years – both in extra time.
Philadelphia (15-8-12), the No. 2 seed, were without midfielder Jamiro Monteiro and right back Olivier Mbaizo after being placed into the league’s health and safety protocols.
New York (13-13-9), who earned the East’s final play-off spot after closing the season with a 7-1-4 run, were making their 12th consecutive play-off appearance.
