The Philadelphia Union's PDL affiliate will face off against Chattanooga FC in the second round of the U.S. Open Cup.

The first game with a group of new players is always difficult. The 2016 edition of Reading United A.C. first came together Monday and only managed two training sessions before being thrown into game action Wednesday night. The Atlanta Silverbacks came to town for the U.S. Open Cup Round 1 game at Gurski Stadium in West Lawn, PA.

The game started out on the sloppy side, as each team missed passes and made mistakes.
