PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Union rookie gets his first goal, and he is the guest this week on the KYW Philly Soccer Show.  Striker Chandler Hoffman joins KYW's Greg Orlandini and Philly Soccer Page writer Eli Pearlman-Storch.

The UCLA grad tallied the game winner against German team Schalke 04 during a midweek friendly at PPL Park.

In part one, Hoffman talks about what it has been like fighting for playing time on the team and working with the other young forwards.

The Union gets back to work in the league on Sunday, with a Mother's Day clash against the Red Bulls at PPL Park.

The team is still struggling for offense, going down last Saturday in Seattle, 1-0.  They will be without Gabriel Farfan for one more game as he finishes his three-game suspension, and may be without starting goalkeeper Zac MacMath, who took a blow to the head at Seattle and is listed as 'out' with concussion symptoms.
