Ilsinho put the Philadelphia Union up in the 68th minute on a goal against the run of play but the boys in blue were unable to hold onto the lead or grab first place in Group A with a 1-1 draw against Orlando City Monday night.
The Union looked sharp from the opening kickoff, moving the ball around and finding space to operate but they found a formidable opponent in Orlando City that limited the Union’s chances inside the box and put together several bright attacking moments of their own.
Andre Blake continued his strong form with another dazzling display, knocking down two successive chances in the box at the hour mark when he was quick off his line to stop Jhegson Méndez with an initial shot and prevent Chris Mueller from getting off a shot on the follow.
