It is very hard to score on Philadelphia Union right now.
The center backs are aggressive, but everyone is covering well. The wingers are tracking back, frustrating attempts to create overloads. The goalie… well, it’s Andre Blake.
But it certainly didn’t help that 10 of DC United’s 11 starters were two days off of a fruitless charge up Red Bull Hill. Ben Olsen’s team lost Yamil Asad that night, and they lost Oneil Fisher to a tight hamstring at halftime against the Union. Once Fafa Picault darted into the box and doubled Philly’s lead, DC’s jelly-legs could not put together a comeback.
