Players with local connections had major impact in the USL Championship semifinals

The Philadelphia Union had Saturday night off this week, but there were plenty of players with Union connections in action on Saturday night as the USL Championship playoffs continued. Former Union players and draft picks, along with players from across Southeastern Pennsylvania, played major roles in all four of the matches.

Louisville City FC 2 - Saint Louis FC 0

The match with the most local interest was the last ever Kings’ Cup match between Louisville and Saint Louis. Louisville’s Union connections include Head Coach John Hackworth, assistant Danny Cruz, starters Corben Bone and Antoine Hoppenot, and goalkeeper Ben Lundt, who spent time with Reading United.
