Philadelphia Union’s academy teams had a full slate of matches against development affiliate Continental FC. There were strong performances from many of the Union sides as they sought to build on excellent starts to the young season.
The Union U13s lost striker Dominic Wilson to an early injury but continued to push hard without the leader of their line. After building on good showings and adding new elements to their system in the early weeks of the season, the U13s did not play up to their full potential against a determined opponent. They will look to put together a more complete performance this weekend when they attend the Fall Regional Showcase in North Carolina and face off with NYCFC, North Carolina FC, Atlanta United, and Concorde Fire.
