CHESTER, Pa. — Philadelphia Union II suffered their worst defeat of the MLS Next Pro era Monday in a 5-0 loss to NYCFC at Subaru Park.

NYC struck first with a lovely run and finish by Andres Jasson in the seventh minute and took a 2-0 lead into the locker rooms on a John Denis free kick goal just outside the 18 in the 36th minute.

Two yellow cards to Jose Riasco in quick succession gave NYCFC even more of the ball and they capitalized with three more goals from Massimo Murania, Jack Beer and Jonathan Jimenez to round out the lopsided win. The deficit could’ve been even wider if not for Matt Freese, who finished with five saves on the day.

Union II falls between the playoff line with the loss and is 14 points off leaders Columbus Crew, which they played at Historic Crew Stadium on Saturday.
