Mapp's stoppage-time goal helps Union sink 10-man Revs

Soccer Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Union scored two goals in the final eight minutes of their Major League Soccer match at the New England Revolution on Saturday night to earn a 2-1 win.

Second-half substitute Justin Mapp assisted on the equalizer and scored the game winner in the 92nd minute to help snap his team's six-game winless run.

The Revolution (6-12-3) looked like they had the game under control in the closing minutes despite playing the entire second half down a man after defender Corey Gibbs was red carded just before the break.

New England got the only goal of the first half in the 31st minute when Ilija Stolica knocked home a loose ball after a Marko Perovic corner kick. Philadelphia defender Danny Califf's clearance of the corner hit Revs midfielder Shalrie Joseph and bounced in the area before Stolica pounced to fire home from close range for his second goal of the season.

Five minutes later New England's Sainey Nyassi hit the post after firing a shot from distance, just before heading a Chris Tierney service over the bar.

Gibbs was ejected from the game minutes later when he took down Union midfielder Eduardo Coudet with a hard tackle.

The Union (5-11-5) tied it up with their first legitimate chance of the game in the 82nd minute when Jack McInerney volleyed home a perfect Justin Mapp service into the area.

Mapp scored the stoppage-time winner on a counter attack led by Danny Mwanga. Mwanga drove into the offensive third before dishing to Sebastien Le Toux, who was stuffed by a defender. Le Toux recovered to lay the ball back to Mapp at the top of the area before the former Chicago Fire midfielder one-timed his first goal of the season past New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth.

The expansion Union will be gunning for the first winning streak in franchise history when they host Kansas City on Saturday, while New England will aim to rebound vs. the Seattle Sounders later the same day in its next MLS fixture.
