With ten games remaining in 2019, Philadelphia Union are on their longest run in first place in franchise history.
By rebounding from difficult losses with big wins, and turning injuries to key players like Marco Fabian and Jamiro Monteiro into big opportunities for Brenden Aaronson and Anthony Fontana, the Union have held off the rest of the Eastern Conference and now enter the All-Star break with a three point lead over Atlanta United and DC United. Philly will look to extend that lead next weekend when they travel to Wayne Rooney’s home while Atlanta takes on Los Angeles Galaxy and New York City FC heads west to a streaking Real Salt Lake side with only one loss in their last six matches.
