Years from now no one will remember the own goal or the 2-0 deficit that turned into a stunning 2-2 road point for the Philadelphia Union. All we’ll remember is Jacob Glesnes’ 30-foot rocket.
Glesnes scored maybe the goal of the season to rescue a point for the Union but that means they had a deficit to come back from in the first place. No doubt a point is better than a loss, which seemed inevitable when Anton Walkes made it 2-0 to the home side when he scored off a recycled corner kick in the 83rd minute, but it’s still not the ideal start to a busy stretch of games following the long break for the Union.
