CHESTER, Pa. — Santiago Sosa scored for Atlanta in Tuesday's second leg, but the Philadelphia Union prevailed 4-1 on aggregate to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
Philadelphia had a 3-0 advantage following the first leg of the quarterfinal last Tuesday in Atlanta. Forward Kacper Przybylko scored twice.
Sosa scored in first-half stoppage time at Subaru Park, but United was not able to catch up to the Union's commanding lead.
Przybylko scored in the 88th minute to cement the victory. He has scored in each of the Union's four CCL matches.
Atlanta was without midfielders Ezequiel Barco and Jurgen Damm because of injury.
