COMMERCE CITY, Colo., June 5 (UPI) -- Danny Mwanga converted a Sebastian Le Toux pass into a second-half goal Saturday, boosting the Philadelphia Union into a 1-1 tie with Colorado.

Mwanga got the ball in the offensive third and blasted a shot past Rapids goalie Matt Pickens in the 66th minute -- Mwanga's team-leading fourth of the season and third in the past two games.

Philadelphia (6-3-3) was able to snap a two-game losing streak with the draw.

Conor Casey got the goal for Colorado (4-3-7), scoring in the 63rd minute on a penalty kick after Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni went down. Casey's kick was his second goal of the season.

Topics: Conor Casey, Danny Mwanga, Matt Pickens
