Earlier in the season, the Philadelphia Union began a four-game winning streak by defeating New York Red Bulls. Now they are in the midst of a three-game losing streak following a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the very same New York Red Bulls.
The Union controlled play for the majority of the first half, earning themselves the lion’s share of chances while limiting Bradley Wright-Phillips to virtually nothing. Stick a pin in that, because it would not last for the rest of the match, but at the start of hte match the Union back line were shutting them down while their attackers created chances.
