Hopes were high for the Philadelphia Union heading into the 2020 MLS Cup playoffs. They had plenty of momentum as the Supporters’ Shield winners and their regular season record ensured that they would play all of their playoff matches in the friendly confines of Subaru Park, where they were undefeated in 2020.
Well there’s a first time for everything.
As they prepared to face the New England Revolution yet again, there were no major changes to the Union starting XI other than the expected return of Andre Blake between the posts. Olivier Mbaizo the only major absence on the bench due to quarantine protocols following his time on international duty.
