Philadelphia Union began the season without a win in their opening eight games, but have most certainly turned a corner in the past three and will pose another challenge to the Rapids when the teams meet at Talen Energy Stadium on Saturday night.
As has been shown, a side containing the likes of Alejandro Bedoya, Oguchi Onyewu, and C.J. Sapong ought not to have started 0-4-4. Jim Curtin’s crew had four points from eight games, and eight goals.
The spark required may have come at StubHub Center in game eight, when the Union fought to a 0-0 draw against LA Galaxy.
