After last week’s poor performance against the Chicago Fire, the Philadelphia Union needed to respond and perform well at home against D.C United. With the 5-1 win against DC in the previous meeting, expectations were high that the Union would take all three points and continue to push for the top playoff spot in the east.
This match was highlighted not only by the individual standout play by Kacper Przybylko and Brenden Aaronson, but by Jim Curtain’s decision to alter the lineup and formation, starting Ilsinho for only the sixth time this season. The stats will show just how dominating the Union’s performance was this weekend, lets hope that leads to a strong final stretch of the season.
