With a chance to clinch their spot and improve their chances at a home field advantage in the playoffs, Philadelphia Union came to play as they welcomed Minnesota United to Talen Energy Stadium for the first time. Although the Loons began brightly on the offensive end with a number of early chances, Philadelphia opened the scoring in the 8th minute and didn’t look back, opening up a 4-0 lead by the half.
“It’s pretty hard for me to try and explain how bad we were in the first half in probably all aspects of the game,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath.
