Edu embraces captaincy amid tough Union stretch

The midfielder has been a calming presence for the Philadelphia Union, whose win over D.C. United on Sunday snapped a four-game losing streak.

CHESTER, Pa. — More than 10 minutes had already passed during Jim Curtin's postgame news conference Sunday, but the Philadelphia Union coach wasn't ready to stop talking.

After a 1-0 win over D.C. United snapped a four-game losing streak for the Union, Curtin broke down Zach Pfeffer's stoppage-time winner. He talked about gutsy performances from veterans Brian Carroll, Conor Casey and Sebastien Le Toux. He discussed pregame fan protests that loomed over the match.
