Mapp. Mwanga Braces Carry Union To Romp Over Toronto FC

Justin Mapp (11th and 61st minute) and Danny Mwanga (71st and 89th minute) had braces to lead the visiting Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia Union to a 6-2 victory over host Toronto FC in Major League Soccer play Saturday from BMO Field.

Mwanga also teamed with Sebastien Le Toux on a Kyle Nakawaza goal in the 45th minute. Nakawaza earlier assisted Mapp on his first goal of the game.

Gabriel Farfan scored for the Union in the third minute with an assist by Jordan Harvey.

Toronto's goals came in the 51st and 59th minute as Danleigh Borman got passes off to Maicon Santos.

The Union are 6-3-2 with 20 points and travel next Saturday to face the defending MLS Cup champion Colorado Rapids.

Toronto is 2-5-6 with 12 points and tied for sixth place in the Eastern standings with DC Unted (3-4-3) and hosting the league's worst team, Sporting Kansas City, next Saturday.
