Markus Anderson's first career goal lifts Union to 2-1 victory over Charlotte
CHESTER, Pa. -- Markus Anderson came off the bench in the 57th minute and scored his first career goal eight minutes into stoppage time to rally the Philadelphia Union to a 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC on Saturday night. Anderson subbed in for Jesús Bueno and played 33 minutes in his first appearance of the season after playing 92 minutes in three appearances last season. Cavan Sullivan — a 15-year-old midfielder — collected his first assist in his seventh appearance over two seasons and 19-year-old midfielder Francis Westfield notched his fourth in his first season. Neither team scored until Bueno found the net unassisted in the second minute of stoppage time to give the Union a halftime lead. It was Bueno's first goal this season after scoring the first three of his career last year. Wilfried Zaha used the second assists of the season from defender Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and Liel Abada in the 78th minute to tie it 1-1 with his fourth goal in his first season in the league. Nineteen-year-old Andrew Rick finished with one save in his eighth start in goal this season for Philadelphia (11-3-4). David Bingham stopped seven shots in his second start for Charlotte (8-9-1). Philadelphia began the day with a four-point lead in the Eastern Conference and now leads the Supporters' Shield race after the Columbus Crew beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1. Both clubs are idle until June 25 when the Union travel to play the Chicago Fire and Charlotte hits the road to play Sporting Kansas City.

Panthers' playoff road dominance has them in record book and one win from repeat
The Florida Panthers played probably as close to a perfect road game as they could on Saturday. It has them at the top of the NHL record book and one win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions as a result. Florida's 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was the team's 10th road win of this year's playoffs. That's tied for the most in a single playoffs in NHL history. The feat has been accomplished six other times, by the St. Louis Blues in 2019, Washington Capitals in 2018, Los Angeles Kings in 2012, Calgary Flames in 2004, and New Jersey Devils in 2000 and 1995. Five of those six teams won the Stanley Cup, with the Flames the lone exception. The Panthers now lead the best-of-7 Stanley Cup Final 3-2 and have their first chance to wrap up the series at home on Tuesday. 'We just try to go out there and have fun,' Panthers center Anton Lundell said. 'I know the pressure feels around us and we all know where we are, so just this team, everyone is ready to step up and give everything. We battle very hard.' Added center Sam Bennett: 'We love being together. We're a close team, and we love being together on the road and spending a lot of time together. We feed off the crowd cheering against us. I think we enjoy that. We use that to our advantage.' That they have. Florida has had to start on the road in every series of this Stanley Cup playoffs, a byproduct of finishing the regular season with 98 points and third in the Atlantic Division. No problem. The Panthers went 3-0 on the road in the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning to win that series in five games. They went 2-2 on the road in the second round against the Toronto Maple Leafs to win that series in seven games. They went 3-0 on the road in the Eastern Conference final against the Carolina Hurricanes to win that series in five games. And they are 2-1 on the road in the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers. 'We have no choice,' Panthers star winger Matthew Tkachuk said earlier this series about playing well on the road. 'I think every team we were going to play this year in playoffs, especially after the first round, we knew we were going to be on the road for the rest of it. We forced ourselves [into] it. We made our bed and had to sleep in it. ... We feel comfortable on the road. It's a simple game. It's a hard game. It's an adversity type of game, an adversity type of atmosphere. We've said it a bunch. It's that us-against-the-world mindset.' Florida has an NHL-record 61 road goals this playoffs and has outscored opponents by 30 goals in their 13 road games this postseason. On Saturday, the Panthers also played a textbook game defensively. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was stellar through the first 10 minutes — which coach Paul Maurice says is arguably the most important time in a road game because it helps to 'keep the building from lighting up' and minimizes the emotions from the crowd — before Florida finally struck and scored twice to close out the period. They went into shutdown mode after that. Edmonton registered a series-low 21 shots on goal and had only eight high-danger scoring chances according to the advanced hockey statistics website Natural Stat Trick. The Oilers did score twice in the third period — first by Connor McDavid 7:24 into the final frame and again by Corey Perry with 3:13 left to play — but Florida held a three-goal lead at both junctures. Florida went 3 for 3 on the penalty kill — and now has killed off 87.5 percent of opponents' power plays on the road this postseason — and Bobrovsky stopped 19 of 21 shots for his seventh road game this playoffs giving up two goals or fewer. 'No game's gonna be perfect,' Bennett said, 'but that was a solid game right from the start. I thought our start was big. We were on them on the forecheck hard and a little bit more composed tonight. Learned from last game. Our PK was great tonight. Bob was unbelievable again. So pretty solid game.'

Shorthanded attack dooms Revolution, as Cincinnati wins at Gillette to end nine-match unbeaten run
Despite being credited with 74 percent of the possession in the second half, New England (6-5-5, 23 points) managed just five shots after the break, none of which much threatened Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano. Its two best chances after halftime were a turnaround shot from substitute Maxi Urruti, which screamed past the top corner in the 71st minute, and a stoppage-time free kick from Carles Gil into the top netting. Related : Advertisement Wing backs Peyton Miller and Ilay Feingold frequently carried into the Cincinnati end, and Gil had plenty of possession in the center of the field, but neither could find teammates able to create dangerous chances. The Revolution were credited with just two shots on target for the match — a 12th-minute rip from Tomás Chancalay set up by Gil and Miller, and a bounding Matt Polster shot soon after halftime right at Celentano. Advertisement Up front, coach Caleb Porter turned to Chancalay and Luis Diaz, whose first MLS start since October 2022 included being dispossessed on a 52nd-minute breakaway without managing at attempt on Celentano. 'Probably the biggest moment that we really need to turn into a goal,' Porter said. Cincinnati's Lukas Engel (left) ran down New England's Luis Diaz in the second half, preventing him from putting a shot on goal. New England Revolution He brought on Urruti as support in the 64th minute, replacing right back Brayan Ceballos, who had picked up a yellow card in the 16th. Lacking another offensive option, however, Porter chose midfielder Jackson Yueill when Chancalay came off in the 80th. 'Honestly, I don't know what more you can do. We subbed on every attacking player we had available,' Porter said. 'We kept throwing the kitchen sink at them. We kept huffing and puffing and we just couldn't blow the house down.' The 80 minutes represented the most game action for the Argentine since returning in April from ACL surgery. Cincinnati (10-5-3, 33 points), which had allowed 10 goals in a four-match winless stretch before Saturday, produced its winner on the counterattack. Veteran Kei Kamara wheeled around New England's Tanner Beason with a deft touch, carrying into the Revolution end. The ball eventually got to Denkey in the penalty area. Blocked by the returning Ceballos, who'd missed a pair of matches with a head injury, Denkey passed across the field to Luca Orellano. Orellano fed a left foot back in front of goal, where Denkey — acquired for a Asked whether the Revolution would be shopping for attacking players when the summer transfer window begins late next month, Porter made clear the team knows what it needs. Advertisement 'I think we have some guys that can score, but health and run of games, we still haven't had a guy that's really taken the lead there, and you need that,' he said. 'For us to be a contender, you have to have a striker that gets 10-plus goals minimum. We need to find that guy, whether it's here or somewhere else.' New England had eight corners to Cincinnati's three on Saturday, and a 10-9 edge in shots. Aljaz Ivacic was credited with two saves, as well as stopping a pair of close-range deflections off teammates in the opening 10 minutes. The match began a run of three straight in Foxborough for the Revolution, who sit 11th in the Eastern Conference having played a conference-low 16 matches. New England is off until June 25, when it host Eastern contender Nashville.
