This is when the season really starts to matter. With less than ten matches remaining in the MLS Regular Season, the Philadelphia Union sits atop the Eastern Conference with 48 points. They are ahead of second place CF Montreal by five points off the back of a massive 4-1 victory against Chicago.
Philadelphia needed a rapid bounce-back after their 3-1 trashing at the hands of FC Cincinnati. The result came out of nowhere, Philadelphia winning the previous five contests. In a league as tough as MLS, one loss can quickly mount to a few if you’re not careful.
