Needing two wins to secure their place in the championship match, Philadelphia Union Academy U-12s did just that and got some help to reach the final of the U-12 Iber Cup Elite Sao Paulo Championship in Brazil.
The Boys in Blue will face off against CR Vasco da Gama for bragging rights on Saturday, January 18th at 8:15 a.m. EST. The match is scheduled to be streamed live on PhiladelphiaUnion.com.
The championship will be the third time this week that the two sides have squared off, with the Brazilian side claiming a 2-1 victory in the first match of the tournament while the U-12s battled back for a 1-1 draw Thursday morning in SuperGroup Gold play.
