First 15 minutes will be key for Philadelphia Union to set tone in second leg against Atlanta United

Up by three goals after a stunning second half display in Atlanta last week, the Philadelphia Union return home tonight with a great chance to secure a spot in the Concacaf Champions League semifinals.

The Union stunned the Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd last Tuesday night that was buzzing with a bright start for the Five Stripes with three second half goals that has them in the driver’s seat to advance. But in a knockout competition, even a three-goal lead feels like less of a sure thing even after the Union limited NYCFC to one goal playing down a man for 74 minutes in their 2-0 loss on Saturday night.
