Luciano Acosta lifts FC Cincinnati past Philadelphia Union

Luciano Acosta converted a penalty kick in the 69th minute and FC Cincinnati continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Union on Saturday night.

Acosta's penalty followed a sequence where it appeared his teammate Brenner had scored from open play. Instead, referee Ted Unkel had blown for a penalty on the initial chance when Union goalkeeper Andre Blake tripped Acosta.
