PHILADELPHIA — Kacper Przybylko had a goal and an assist and Andre Blake made four saves to help the Philadelphia Union beat the Portland Timbers 3-0.
Blake has three consecutive shutouts and four in his last five games as Philadelphia (4-2-2) has allowed just goal during that span.
Przybylko opened the scoring in the 26th minute, heading home a perfectly placed ball by Kai Wagner from the middle third to the top of the 6-yard box.
Portland (3-4-0), which had won back-to-back games by a combined score of 5-0, was scoreless for the first time since its 1-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the season opener.
The Union's next match is set to be a home matchup against Altanta United on June 20 at 2:00 p.m.
