The Philadelphia Union capitalized on a couple New England mistakes to score twice in a four-minute span and win their third straight match.
Starting out in a 4-2-3-1 for the first time since last season, head coach Jim Curtin rotated again inserting Julian Carranza, Jack McGlynn and Paxten Aaronson for Mikael Uhre, Alejandro Bedoya and Cory Burke. The change led to some bright moments in the first half but they were unable to find the final ball and saw themselves down 1-0 when Gustavo Bou hammered home a cross from Brandon Bye in the 61st minute.
