The Philadelphia Union tied FC Cincinnati 0-0 in a game that was more known for its hard fouls and shots off target than the exciting attacking play seen in the Union’s previous three games.
The Union had difficulty breaking Jaap Stam’s bunker defense with high pressure through the midfield. The Union dropped to third place behind Orlando City, and Columbus extended their lead in the Eastern Conference with a win over Minnesota.
FC Cincinnati started a familiar face, Haris Mednunjanin, who made 98 appearances for the Union from 2017-2019. Medunjanin scored an Olimpico in a 1-0 win over the Red Bulls, which ended a six game winless spell.
