The Philadelphia Union go into the halftime break against the LA Galaxy deadlocked at zero after a (dare I say it?) lucky break for the Union.
In the second minute, the Union almost gifted LA a goal when Alejandro Bedoya went to clear a ball and scuffed it. It fell to Romain Allesandrini, whose shot was stopped. In the very next minute, the Union mis-hit another clearance and this time it was Giovani dos Santos whose curling shot almost made the Union pay.
The first half was mostly really ugly soccer, with lots of fouls, bad touches, and poor passes by both teams.
