Baribo opened the scoring for the Union just before the half hour mark, directing a cross from Jack Elliott in the middle of the box. Ten minutes later Philly doubled its lead on the Glesnes goal while Baribo made it 3-0 for the Boys in Blue with a counter attacking finish set up by Mikael Uhre and Alejandro Bedoya.

Wagner was locked in on both sides of the contest, setting up three of the Union’s four goals to move within one assist of tying Union Ring of Honoree Sebastien Le Toux for the most in club history.
