Milan Iloski's second-half goal helps Union tie Crew

Milan Iloski scored his fourth goal midway through the second half but the Philadelphia Union again fell short of a first home win in a 1-1 draw against the Columbus Crew on Saturday night at Chester, Pa.

Iloski's tally canceled Hugo Picard's 10th-minute strike from distance for the visitors.

Cavan Sullivan came closest to scoring a late winner for Philadelphia (1-9-4, 7 points), which is now 0-3-3 at home after going 12-1-4 there in 2025 en route to the Supporters' Shield title.

Patrick Schulte made four saves to help Columbus (3-7-4, 13 points) snap a three-match losing streak, on a night the Crew were outshot 12-6 overall and 5-2 in efforts on target.

Philadelphia midfielder Jovan Lukic departed at halftime with an apparent injury, perhaps the same ailment that forced him out late in the first half of a 4-3 loss at Orlando on Wednesday night.

Picard put Columbus in front in the 10th minute.

Andre Gomes served in an outswinging free kick from beyond the right corner of the penalty area. Union center back Olwethu Makhanya got his head on it, but while retreating could only clear it back to the edge of the penalty area on the left side.

That's where Picard controlled it with his first touch, then curled an arcing shot with his second into the top right corner beyond Andre Blake's dive.

Iloski leveled in the 70th minute on an opportunity created by Agustin Anello.

The substitute took Ben Bender's pass on the left, drove at defender Rudy Camacho on the dribble, then struck a low cross that rolled between Camacho's legs and toward the top of the 6-yard box.

Iloski did the rest with a one-time finish into an open goal before Schulte could recover from his near-post position.

Sullivan had two promising late chances to finally end the Union's home misery.
