The Union had an opportunity this past Saturday to join their Philadelphia sports brethren in one of the more ignominious chapters of the local history books: tales of being done wrong by a referee’s video replay.

On the first official night of video replay in Major League Soccer, the first replay incident in league history took place at Talen Energy Stadium. With a little less than 12 minutes to go in the game, Union goalkeeper John McCarthy made a charging stop on FC Dallas’ Cristian Colman, but offered a juicy rebound to Maximiliano Urruti, who promptly buried the ball in the net.
