The first place Philadelphia Union fell Saturday night to the 10th place Chicago Fire in a devastating 2-0 loss not even I predicted. The Union was unable to respond to being down at the half, despite Chicago losing Nicolás Gaitán in 45 + 3’ to a red card, meaning Philly was able to play for an entire half a man up.
I have a lot of criticisms for the Union’s play, but here are my condensed takeaways for… whatever that was.
Yes, it’s true, Marco Fabian hasn’t had the greatest showing as the Union’s $2,000,000 No.
