The Union’s 2020 preseason continued with Jamiro Monteiro rejoining the squad and stepping straight into the starting XI against FC Cincinnati. Forming a diamond midfield with Brenden Aaronson, Ale Bedoya, and Matej Oravec, Monteiro played furthest forward and found himself chasing former Philadelphia teammate Haris Medunjanin.
Sergio Santos and Kacper Przybylko retained their spots in the front line, with Matt Real, Mark McKenzie, Jack Elliott, and Ray Gaddis across the back line in front of Andre Blake.
The Union continued to work toward full fitness with just over two weeks remaining until the season opener and FC Dallas.
