CHESTER, Pa. — The Philadelphia Union have cleared one major hurdle by clinching the franchise’s third Audi MLS Cup Playoffs berth with two games to spare.
With a scorching 7-1-2 record over their last 10 games and, according to head coach Jim Curtin, “playing as good as anyone in the league right now,” the Union appear ready to take another leap, hopeful to make, at the very least, a deep playoff run through the Eastern Conference.
They'll have a chance to show they’re capable of doing that by making a statement against the dominant New York Red Bulls in their final regular-season home game Sunday (3 pm ET).
