As victories go, today’s against the Philadelphia Union wasn’t the prettiest. In fact, it was fairly ugly. But the three points?
Those three points count all the same.
They were badly needed three points. After suffering a stinging loss against Atlanta United, then fumbling away a win against New England on Wednesday, you got the feeling nothing less than a win would do.
For most of the game, however, that win loomed torturously away from the Blues’ grasp. It didn’t help that they were missing left winger Rodney Wallace, away on international duty with Costa Rica.
