On Wednesday, July 25, the Philadelphia Union came to BBVA Compass Stadium with 24 points through 20 games. They left with a 3-1 win and a boost of confidence allowing them to pick up 22 points in their next 10 games and reach the 2018 U.S. Open Cup Final, where they return to Houston to face the Dynamo again (7 p.m. CT | TICKETS).
Head coach Jim Curtin says that they’re not reading too much into that result, “they're with different teams, they're at different stages of a campaign,” but he’s happy with the transformation he’s seen in his team since then.
