On a day with arctic winds, the Philadelphia Union offense displayed their potential with a solid performance against a talented Toronto FC side.
Building on a scoreless draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Union put together a quality attack in addition to solid defense.
One of the most effective tactics for Philadelphia was playing down the right flank and deploying Chris Pontius as a target winger.
From his distribution charts, it is clear that most of Pontius’ touches on the ball were in the final third of the field, showing Union Head Coach Jim Curtin’s mindset of getting Pontius on the ball in dangerous areas.
