"Martinez scored his first from the penalty spot after just 11 minutes. The Costa Rican striker slotted his spot-kick down the middle of the goal after Andres Perea was fouled by Kristijan Kahlina. Martinez then scored his second from 12 yards out in the 58th minute, this time finding the bottom-right corner after Idan Toklomati was penalised for a handball following a VAR review."
"Also in the East, the Philadelphia Union temporarily extended their lead at the top of the conference to five points after defeating the New England Revolution 1-0. After a demoralising 7-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend, and a U.S. Open Cup defeat during the week, Bruno Damiani's 71st-minute goal was enough to give the Union a much-needed win, while Peyton Miller also received a red card for the Revs soon after."
New York City FC beat Charlotte FC 2-0, ending Charlotte's nine-game winning streak. Alonso Martinez converted two penalties, one in the 11th minute and another in the 58th, after fouls on Andres Perea and an Idan Toklomati handball confirmed by VAR. Wilfried Zaha missed a late penalty saved by Matt Freese as Charlotte suffered its first league loss since June 28. Philadelphia Union won 1-0 against New England via Bruno Damiani's 71st-minute goal, with Peyton Miller sent off. San Diego FC drew 1-1 with Atlanta United, leaving opportunities for Minnesota United and Vancouver to move above San Diego with games in hand. Martinez has 17 goals this season.
