If the Philadelphia Union needed a mulligan this season it was Saturday night in Sandy, Utah.
A disjointed first half where they struggled to string passes together and allowed an outside back enough space to hit a 60-yard ball to set up a goal gave way to a second half riddled with mistakes in the back that gifted Real Salt Lake a pair of goals en route to a 4-0 loss.
Even VAR didn’t go the Union’s way on three key decisions — the first on a possible red card tackle, the second on what would have been an Andrew Wooten on his first touch and a third that reversed a disallowed goal — on a night that can easily be called the worst of the 2019 campaign.
