You learn a lot more from a game like this than one where you shell your opponents. What lessons can the Union learn from this?
1.) Opened up by the Open Cup - The Philadelphia Union’s loss to the New England Revolution in penalties set the stage for the loss to the Montreal Impact. 120 minutes on the turf in Boston burned out the Union’s starters. Fabinho was on the bench, and Ray Gaddis was pressed into service. Tranquillo Barnetta and Roland Alberg both looked a half step slower against Montreal, most likely from having gone so long in the match on Wednesday.
