Jamiro Monteiro masterclass propels Philadelphia Union past Saprissa

The question on most Philadelphia Union fan’s mind going into this season was how they would replace star youngster Brenden Aaronson and it seems Jamiro Monteiro might have the answer.

The Philadelphia Union are advancing to the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League. In their first home match ever in the competition, the Union left little doubt that they belonged amongst Concacaf’s elite, thrashing Saprissa 4-0 to advance.

Jamiro Monteiro was the best player on the pitch, with a true masterclass performance that saw the Cape Verdean international assist on two Union goals, find the back of the net twice himself and disrupt play seemingly in nearly every part of the field.
