ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Auston Trusty scored in 86th minute and the Philadelphia Union moved to the top of the Eastern Conference with a 3-2 victory over Minnesota United on Sunday.
Trusty beat defender Brent Kallman to Ilsinho's volley, made a deft stop and then beat goalkeeper Vito Mannone to the loose ball to drive home the winner in front of 19,738 fans at Allianz Field.
It was the third time the Union (8-4-4s) took the lead and, this time, Minnesota (6-6-3) couldn't answer.
The loss was the first suffered by the Loons in seven games at their new home in St. Paul's midway neighborhood.
They are now 3-1-3 at Allianz Field.
Kallman's foul on Sergio Santos led to Jamiro Monteiro's successful penalty kick in the 18th minute and came off a quick counter after Minnesota was denied three-times from point-blank range. Andre Blake made two saves before defender Jake Elliott got in front of Angelo Rodriguez's second shot. Just before halftime Haris Medunjanin bent a free kick around the Minnesota wall and into the top corner.
Hassani Dotson tied the game at 1 in the 28th minute and Kevin Molino tied it 2 in the 77th minute.
Monteiro's goal was his third, the other four were the first of the season.
