The Philadelphia Union are officially fun to watch. Even in this game when the stats were almost all against Philadelphia, it still never felt like New York City FC would get back into the game. The Union’s finishing gave the fans plenty to celebrate. With their opponents seemingly only bringing David Villa with them to Philly, the Union were able take advantage and earn the home points.
Talen Stadium, nee PPL
Was NYCFC’s death knell
The Union perfect in their house
With New York’s hopes summarily dowsed
Villa on but couldn’t score
New York clearly needed more
The U lost stats like ball control
But won in one stat: scoring goals
Keegan tried to score his first
But Saunders' save was well rehearsed
Villa made a chance from nil
Alas his shot went just uphill
Moments later the Spaniard star
Would put a shot just off the bar
A little scare- would Union lose?
