Halftime report: D.C. United 2, Philadelphia Union 0
The Philadelphia Union had almost two weeks to prepare for D.C. United. And while the Union had some decent moments in the first half, United was the better team by far and leads 2-0 at the break.
Lloyd Sam had the first decent chance at goal about four minutes in when he sent a curling shot in from the left flank that Andre Blake snagged easily.
Eight minutes in, Fabinho tested Bill Hamid with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box. Hamid slapped the ball to the turf, and D.C. was able to clear it out.
In the 11th minute, Ilsinho unleashed a long range blast that caught Bill Hamid wel off of his line. Unfortunately for the Union, the shot went just wide of the goal.
