McGlynn scores in second half, helps Union earn 2
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jack McGlynn scored the lone goal of the second half to help the Philadelphia Union earn a 2-2 draw with D.C. United on Saturday night.
DC United (3-3-5) jumped out to an early lead on Cristian Dájome’s goal in the 9th minute. Dájome took passes from Jared Stroud and Mateusz Klich and sent a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the top right corner of the net for his first netter this season.
Jacob Murrell used assists from Stroud and Christian Benteke in the 33rd minute to score his first career goal, stretching the DC United lead to 2-0. Murrell, a 20-year-old rookie forward, drilled a left-footed shot from outside the box to the bottom right corner.
Philadelphia (3-2-5) closed within a goal at halftime on a netter by Alejandro Bedoya in the 42nd minute. Kai Wagner set up Bedoya’s second goal this season — a left-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom left corner — with a through ball following a set piece.
