Bradley pair lifts Red Bulls

CHESTER, Pa. — Bradley Wright-Phillips scored two late goals and the Red Bulls beat the Philadelphia Union, 2-0, on Sunday.

Wright-Phillips put a sliding one-touch, off a cross from Kemar Lawrence, into the net from a step inside the 6-yard box in the 87th minute to give the Red Bulls (7-7-2) a 1-0 lead. It was their first road goal since Wright-Phillips scored in the 13th minute of a 4-1 loss at Houston on April 1, snapping a drought of more than 520 minutes.

Wright-Phillips added his eighth of the season in the second minute of stoppage time.

Philadelphia (4-7-4) played a man down after Derrick Jones was given a straight red card for a foul on Felipe Martins in the 53rd minute.

Luis Robles notched three saves, including a diving, one-handed stop of a rocket by Chris Pontius from point-blank range in the 22nd, and recorded his first shutout since a 2-0 victory over Columbus on April 22.

Philadelphia has lost three in a row.

RUSSIAN FANS BANNED

Russian fans say dozens of team supporters — including a notorious fan leader — have been barred from going to Confederations Cup games after their identity documents were unexpectedly canceled.

Fans at the tournament require not only tickets but also a Russian government-issued “fan ID,” in a measure designed to allow the state to filter out potential troublemakers.

A Moscow-based hotline providing legal support for fans says many Russians had IDs granted that were canceled hours before Russia’s opening game against New Zealand, making their tickets useless.

The Multilingual Fan Support Center says it has received “tens of messages from fans about the annulment of previously issued fan IDs.”

No reasons were given, the center said, and appeals are planned. Russian law gives authorities sweeping jurisdiction to refuse fans permission to attend games at the Confederations Cup and next year’s World Cup.
