TEAM NOTES

David Accam's 95th-minute game-winning goal tonight is tied for the latest game-winning goal in Union history ... he joins Sebastien Le Toux (7/17/10 vs. TOR), Michael Farfan (7/4/12 at LAG) and Kleberson (10/5/13 vs. TOR) as players to achieve that feat.

Cory Burke's brace tonight was the first of his MLS career.

Andre Blake made three saves tonight, taking his career total to 290, all in Union blue and gold ... that mark set the all-time team record in the category, breaking a tie with Zac MacMath (287).

Raymon Gaddis made his 150th Union regular-season start tonight, becoming just the second player in team history to reach that milestone ... he joins Brian Carroll, the club's all-time leader in the category, who has 156 starts ... additionally, Haris Medunjanin made his 50th regular-season start, becoming the 21st player in team history to achieve that feat.
