CHESTER, Pa. (AP) - David Accam scored two first-half goals and added a second-half assist to help the Philadelphia Union beat the Columbus Crew 3-0 on Saturday night.

Damir Kreilach opened the scoring for Real Salt Lake (1-2-1) in the 35th minute, converting from the spot after LAFC's Latif Blessing took down Sebastian Saucedo.

Diego Rossi pounced on a defensive deflection, and finished a left-footed shot in the 40th minute for LAFC (3-0-1).

ORLANDO CITY 1, RED BULLS 0
