PPL Park, Chester, Pa.
Aug. 1, 2015 (MLS Game #215)
7 pm ET (MLS LIVE, CSN-PHI, MSG)
- C.J. Sapong scored the fastest goal in Union club history at 20 seconds, and their two goals in the opening four minutes matched the fourth-fastest pair of goals from the start of a game in MLS history, but Union still went down to a second consecutive defeat in a 3-2 loss at D.C. United.
- The Red Bulls return to action after a week off, having won back-to-back games and for the fourth time in the last five contests in a 2-0 win at Orlando City SC on July 18.
- The teams are meeting for the second time this season in league play. Vincent Nogueira and C.J. Sapong scored goals five minutes apart to lead Union to a 2-0 win May 24 at Red Bull Arena.
- The teams also met in an epic U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal match on July 21 at Red Bull Arena. Lloyd Sam scored for the Red Bulls deep in stoppage time to cancel out an Eric Ayuk Mbu goal, and eventually send the match to a penalty shootout, and Union advanced despite playing 80 minutes a man down.
