After looking close to invincible through their first six games, the Philadelphia Union came back to earth a little with a 2-1 loss on the road to Toronto FC.
The big headline of the game was Jayden Nelson going in with a poor challenge on Kai Wagner that fortunately didn’t knock him out of the game or worse. The 19-year-old getting a yellow instead of the straight red he deserved was a glaring error that might have made the game much smoother sailing for the unbeaten visitors. Instead of being up a man for 70 minutes, it was 11v11 the rest of the way and despite the Union getting on the board first with a lovely floated ball from Mikael Uhre to Julian Carranza at the far post the Reds were able to do something no other team had done since 2021: score more than one goal.
