Since the MLS season began, the Union have played 21 competitive matches — 19 regular-season games and two U.S. Open Cup contests. If you do the math, that’s just about 31.5 hours of game time.
Derrick Jones has seen the field for just 120 total minutes.
In the Union’s friendly with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, the Philadelphia native showed coach Jim Curtin he might deserve more playing time in the season’s second half.
Jones scored the lone goal in the Union’s 1-0 victory at Talen Energy Stadium on Saturday night, capitalizing on a Frankfurt turnover in the 49th minute when he slid into the side netting for his second-ever score in a Union jersey.
