CHESTER, Pa. -- Teal Bunbury had a goal and an assist after entering the game in the 61st minute as the New England Revolution beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1 on Sunday. New England extended its undefeated streak to five games. Cristian Maidana struck a free kick that glanced off the post to give Philadelphia a 1-0 lead in the 42nd minute. New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth had only conceded one goal in the last four matches. The Revolution's Charlie Davies tied it in the 64th minute. Bunbury beat his defender at the edge of the 18-yard box and delivered a ball to the far post where an unmarked Davies tapped it in. Bunbury put the Revolution in front 2-1 in the 76th minute. Diego Fagundez, a sub in the 71st, raced down the right sideline and placed a perfect cross to a striding Bunbury. "I always try to contribute as much as I can, whether I'm starting or coming off the bench," Bunbury said. "It was a great effort from all of the guys. The whole 90 minutes, we didn't stop. I'm really proud of everybody.'' New England's London Woodberry and Lee Nguyen helped Shuttleworth with goal-line clearances on consecutive shots in the 78th minute. Dairon Asprilla scored a late second-half goal and the Portland Timbers beat New York City FC 1-0 on Sunday night. A failed clearance fell to the feet of Asprilla at the top of the 18-yard box in the 79th minute and his deflected shot found the empty side of the net. Portland bounced back after losing to the other MLS expansion team, Orlando City, a week ago. NYCFC's winless streak is not at five games. NYC's Khiry Shelton had close chances in the 88th and 89th minutes, but both shots were denied by Portland goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey. It was a quiet first half as Patrick Mullins' attempt for NYC in the 16th minute was the only shot on goal for either side. NYC's Tony Taylor was taken off the field in a stretcher in the 34th. Chris Wingert played a back pass to his goalkeeper in the 47th minute, but Josh Saunders mistakenly picked it up at the 18-yard line. Fanendo Adi's free kick deflected off the wall and fell harmlessly out of bounds.
