The Philadelphia Union returned to regular season MLS games yesterday after a short World Cup break. The team traveled to New England and took on the Revolution, beating them 3-1. This was the first MLS regular season match for interim coach Jim Curtain. Sebastian Le Toux opened up the scoring for the Union in the 42nd minute and the team never looked backed. After the half, Danny Cruz scored a superb goal with an assist from Michael Lahoud. The Revolution got one back in the 73rd minute with a goal from Saer Sene but the Union offense countered one last time with another goal by Sebastian Le Toux in the 78th minute. The boys in blue earned their fourth win of the season. The Union are headed to Dallas this week for a fourth of July showdown versus FC Dallas. Union interim coach Jim Curtin will have his eyes set on his second regular season win.
