Philadelphia Union scored the first goal of the match in the 17th minute, when Jamiro Monteiro played in a corner that deflected off a New York defender. The ball landed at the feet of Sergio Santos, who tapped the ball into the net to give the Union the lead.

New York answered back in the 37th minute of play after Cristian Cásseres, Jr. played a ball into the feet of Omir Fernandez, who volleyed the ball from the top of Philadelphia's eighteen-yard box and scored.

The Red Bulls extended their unbeaten streak to four matches for the first time since June, which extended from June 27 to July 21.

Fernandez has scored a goal in two-straight matches and three in his last four.
