The Philadelphia Union used the width of Ray Gaddis and Alejandro Bedoya to stretch out a narrow Red Bulls side beyond their breaking point for a 1-0 win Tuesday night at Subaru Park.
“We’re naturally a right-side dominant team with Ale and Ray, and then Ilsinho, as well as Brenden [Aaronson] likes to make runs out there,” head coach Jim Curtin said. “Overall, it was a really good performance and we have something that is really strong on that side.”
Curtin instructed the Union to attack out wide, and it was necessary against a narrow New York team that eagerly presses high up the field like all of the teams under the Red Bull umbrella.
