After Philadelphia Union survived an early spell of pressure from Seattle Sounders and walked out of CenturyLink Field winners, they are close to securing a playoff berth for the second time in three years and have set a new record for road wins in a season.
Perseverance
Andre Blake provided a big early save and then Haris Medunjanin slowed the match down in the 23rd minute as Ale Bedoya dragged defenders around with endless energy. Philly could have folded after getting overrun in the opening 20 minutes, but instead they buckled down, closed off passing lanes through the center, and hauled themselves back into a brutally difficult road match.
