A decisive victory over Orlando City SC courtesy of Connor Lade and Felipe has given the team renewed confidence after a four-game road spell that netted just 1 point and elimination from the US Open Cup.
That Open Cup defeat came courtesy of the Philadelphia Union, who embarrassed Jesse Marsch so badly in a 2-1 defeat that he went on a mini-rampage on the sidelines that will result in a one-match ban for next year's Open Cup.
To call the dominance of the Philadelphia Union one of the most surprising storylines of the season would be quite the understatement.
