Welcome to your match thread for tonight's meeting between Orlando City (3-3-5, 14 points) and the Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia Union (5-3-3, 18 points). This is the second of three scheduled meetings in 2016 between the clubs, after the Union grabbed the first meeting 2-1 at Talen Energy Stadium on April 8 on a late free kick by Tranquillo Barnetta. Yeah, you remember it. The Lions return to Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 16.
Orlando City is 0-2-1 in the series, going 0-1-1 in two match-ups with the Union last season. The Lions drew 0-0 in the (then) Citrus Bowl on Aug.
