Conor Casey double helps Philadelphia Union secure late win over San Jose

By Jens Raitanen, Reporter | 06 September 2015

Conor Casey proved to be the super-sub as he came off the bench to score twice in Philadelphia Union's 2-1 win away to San Jose Earthquakes.

Conor Casey scored twice as Philadelphia Union came from behind to beat San Jose Earthquakes.

Clarence Goodman nearly put Union in front but his close-range header went wide before Vincent Nogueira had a shot comfortably saved by David Bingham.

After a quiet first half, both sides struggled to produce clear-cut chances after the break. However, San Jose were awarded a penalty in the 63rd minute after Fabinho was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.

Chris Wondolowski stepped up and converted the spot kick with a low finish. Just ten minutes later, Union were level as substitute Casey rose above everyone else in the box to head home a Raymon Gaddis cross.

Neither side threatened enough in the closing stages of the match but with just four minutes to go, Casey powered another header past San Jose keeper Bingham to seal the win for the visitors.
