Rivalry

Back in June, New York Red Bulls though they were bringing the Union back to Earth after Philly took over first place with a win in Minnesota (still the only home loss for the Loons this year).

There was one problem: Chris Armas and company forgot about Ilsinho. The Brazilian has lived through a few rivalry matches against Red Bulls in the past, and he was around last season when an incredibly strange penalty call provided the only goal of the game for New York. Two goals and an assist later, Philly was ahead.
