Against Sporting Kansas City, the Union generated chances through the aggressive play of their fullbacks. Philly's system prioritizes closing down counterattacks and quickly turning them into attacking transitions before the opposing team can set up their defense.
In two clips, Ray Gaddis and Kai Wagner lock down the first pass out of KC's defensive third, and this allows the rest of the team to shape up around the play and force a turnover deep in the home side's half.
First, Gaddis presses high and forces a poor backwards pass that Fafa Picault closes down. Then the Union press the players near the ball and Ale Bedoya steps to the open man to force a quick pass into trouble.
