Jim Curtin made one change from the team he sent out against FC Dallas, but he got a far different performance. Sergio Santos and Jakob Glesnes scored stunners and Brenden Aaronson tucked in a third as the Union gave LAFC all they could handle at Banc of California Stadium late Sunday night.
Philly let the LA crowd know they came to play from the outset. Within the first minute, Brenden Aaronson nearly broke through and Sergio Santos almost curled a cross onto Kacper Przybylko’s feet.
The home side answered with a quick restart and Mark Anthony Kaye slotted in Diego Rossi, however the striker was offside.
