Philadelphia Union fell to Eastern Conference foe New England Revolution 3-0 in a physical contest at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The loss drops Philadelphia to 7-10-5 on the season. The Union will be back in action on Aug. 5, when they host FC Dallas at Talen Energy Stadium.
In a match played in the same venue as the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, this match had the feel of an American Football game due to the rough play that was allowed to go on throughout the evening. Both clubs recorded double digit fouls and the intensity started early.
