The Philadelphia Union’s win over Sporting Kansas City was the result of some very good individual plays.
1.) If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - Jim Curtin elected to go with the same lineup that the Union had used just three days prior in their win against Columbus Crew SC out in Ohio. With little time to train between matches, Curtin played the same exact starting eleven men against Sporting Kansas City. It worked like a charm, as the team was in sync and looked none the worse for wear - even on a hot and humid afternoon.
