Danish international forward Mikael Uhre scored a hat trick as the Philadelphia Union snapped a five-game league winless run in dispatching Toronto FC 4-2 in MLS play Saturday.
Philadelphia also got an own goal from TFC's Lukas MacNaughton. Toronto had its seven-game unbeaten run snapped in suffering its first loss since a 3-2 defeat at D.C. United in the Feb. 25 season opener.
Severe weather in the area promoted a “shelter-in-place” mandate before the game. Fans were urged to remain in their cars until the order was lifted with those already in Subaru Park asked to remain on the concourse. The order was lifted about 40 minutes before kickoff.Insigne and fellow Italian Federico Bernardeschi both started for Toronto for the first time since the season opener.
There was more suspect defending in the 20th minute after Toronto failed to clear a Philadelphia cross. Johnson kept the ball in play but couldn't get through Carranza to gather it. The ball came back in front of goal and Uhre's shot deflected in off the unfortunate MacNaughton. TFC was without injured captain/midfielder Michael Bradley, fullback Cristian Gutierrez, centre back Matt Hedges, midfielder Victor Vazquez and forward Adama Diomande.Philadelphia threatened early with Carranza off-target with a header and shot in the eighth and ninth minute.
Toronto coach Bob Bradley withdrew MacNaughton and Bernardeschi, who had been listed as questionable before the game with a lower body injury, at halftime. Shane O'Neill and Perruzza came on.
