MONTREAL » Blerim Dzemaili broke a tie in the 51st minute to help the Montreal Impact beat the Philadelph­ia Union 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Dzemaili deked Union defender Giliano Wijnaldum on the edge of the box. The move put Dzemaili all alone on goal, and the Swiss internatio­nal connected from close range.

Michael Salazar opened the scoring for Montreal (66-6) in the 19th minute in his second start of the season. Fafa Picault tied it for the Union (6-8-5) in the 43rd.

The Union appeared to have tied it in the 86th minute, but Roland Alberg’s volley was called back for offside.

Red Bulls 5, Earthquake­s 1
