FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Dániel Gazdag and Julián Carranza both scored goals for a league-record 16th time with Gazdag finding the net twice, Oliver Semmle notched the first clean sheet of his career and the Philadelphia Union took advantage of a red card on New England’s Ryan Spaulding in the 14th minute to post a 3-0 victory over the struggling Revolution on Saturday night.

McGlynn subbed in for an injured José Martínez in the 28th minute.The Union took a two-goal lead two minutes into the second half on Gazdag’s eighth goal this season.
