The Philadelphia Union did all of the right things - and had a bit of luck - in their win over New York City FC.
1.) Over before it started? New York City FC's starting eleven was missing some of its marquee players. David Villa started, as did Kwadwo Poku, however Mix Diskerud was on the bench - which is more than could be said for either Frank Lampard or Andrea Pirlo. When you have that much talent (and salary) sitting on the bench, you're already at a huge disadvantage.
