Union II stay unbeaten, blow out Atlanta United 2 for first win

Five different players scored as Philadelphia Union II picked up their first win of the season in blowout 5-1 fashion over Atlanta United 2.

Stas Korzeniowski opened his professional scoring account with a goal in the 21st minute off an assist from David Vazquez and just as it looked like they’d carry the 1-0 lead into halftime, CJ Olney curled a ball into the box that Neil Pierre headed home in stoppage time to make it 2-0.

Already down two goals, Atlanta United 2 were dealt another blow when they went down to 10 men in the 56th minute when Dominik Chong Qui was sent off with a second yellow after Markus Anderson stole the ball and was taken down by the Atlanta defender.

Up a man, Olney took advantage and made it 3-0 in the 70th minute off an assist from Eddy Davis. Minutes later, Kellan LeBlanc drew a foul in the box and Nick Pariano converted from the spot to make it 4-0. LeBlanc added a fifth goal in the 76th minute off another Davis assist and Ramzi Qawasmy was hard done on a foul call in the box that led to an Atlanta United 2 penalty.

Up next, Union II will travel to Belson Stadium to play NYCFC II on Wednesday, April 23 (7:30 p.m. ET / Apple TV).
