Union battle Atlanta United FC as first match of double game week

Philadelphia Union will return to the pitch this Wednesday night when they take on Atlanta United in Georgia. Kick-off for this Eastern Conference clash is set for 7 p.m. and will be televised on The Comcast Network with JP Dellacamera and Tommy Smyth on the call.

This will be the second match in club history against Atlanta, as the Union drew with United 2-2 earlier this season back on Aug. 26 at Talen Energy Stadium. In that contest, Philadelphia jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals from Roland Alberg and Captain Alejandro Bedoya. Atlanta was able to cut the Union lead in half before capitalizing on a Josh Yaro red card in the 52nd minute, as United eventually scored in stoppage time to tie the match after playing with a man advantage for almost 40 minutes.
