Philadelphia Union II came out on top of a seven-goal thriller on Sunday night, with Stas Korzeniowski scoring the late winner to secure a 4-3 road victory over New England Revolution II at Beirne Stadium.
Union II wasted little time getting on the scoresheet as Jordan Griffin struck in the opening 10 minutes to give Philadelphia the early advantage. New England responded through Myles Morgan in the 15th minute, but the Boys in Blue quickly regained control when Kellan LeBlanc found the back of the net in the 27th minute.
The action continued during an extended opening half. Cristiano Oliveira pulled New England level before LeBlanc struck again moments later, completing his brace and sending Philadelphia into the break with a 3-2 advantage.
New England answered once again after the restart, with Gabriel Dahlin finding the equalizer to make it 3-3 and set up a tense finish at Beirne Stadium.
The decisive moment arrived in the 84th minute. Korzeniowski delivered his second game-winning goal in as many matches, finding the back of the net to restore Philadelphia's advantage at 4-3. Union II held firm over the closing minutes to secure all three points and a second consecutive victory.
Philadelphia Union II return home on Sunday, August 23, when they host Connecticut United FC at Subaru Park.
