PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Union took advantage of an early error from Columbus Crew goalkeeper Eloy Room to score the only goal in a 1-0 victory on Saturday night at Subaru Park.
Two minutes in, the typically dependable Room fumbled Jose Andres Martinez’s early cross across his line for an own goal.
The result was all the unbeaten Union required to record a fifth consecutive victory and fourth straight clean sheet to keep their place atop the Eastern Conference standings.
Columbus hosts Orlando City Saturday, April 16, at Lower.com Field (7:30 p.m./Bally Sports Ohio).
