Multiple members of the Philadelphia Union were on hand Wednesday night to watch Open Cup darlings (and Union PDL affiliate) Reading United AC take on the Harrisburg City Islanders. Union players Andre Blake, Josh Yaro, Fabian Herbers, and Adam Najem were there signing autographs, and Earnie Stewart was spotted hanging around the merch table.
Going into Wednesday’s Open Cup match, it almost felt like the amateur side were the favorites over Harrisburg. They were still flying high thanks to their “cupset” victory over the New York Cosmos, and if they could do the same against Harrisburg then they would get a chance to travel to Chester for a match against the Union.
