Tai Baribo's Hat Trick Leads Philadelphia Union to Dominant 4-1 Victory Over FC Cincinnati

Philadelphia Union remain undefeated in their first two matches of the season, with Baribo and debutant Bruno Damiani shining in the home opener.

Tai Baribo scored a hat trick, bringing his season total to five goals in two matches, as the Philadelphia Union defeated FC Cincinnati 4-1 in their home opener at Subaru Park.
Baribo's goals came in the 6th, 30th, and 52nd minutes, capitalizing on defensive errors by Cincinnati and strong assists from teammates Kai Wagner and Dániel Gazdag.
Newcomer Bruno Damiani scored his first career goal in stoppage time, securing the Union's fourth goal in his debut appearance after coming on as a second-half substitute.
Cincinnati's Evander da Silva Ferreira scored his first goal for the club in the 58th minute, but the team struggled to keep up with Philadelphia's relentless attack.
The Union, under first-year manager Bradley Carnell, have scored a league-high eight goals in their first two matches and will next face the New England Revolution on the road.
