Philadelphia Union treated fans to a result in their 2017 home opener against defending Eastern Conference Champions Toronto FC on Saturday evening. The Union drew with Toronto 2-2 in front of a crowd of 16,795 at Talen Energy Stadium.
The Union controlled the tempo from the start of the match. In the 11th minute of action a pair of offseason acquisitions paid dividends for Philadelphia. MLS All-Star Keegan Rosenberry quickly threw a pass from the near sideline to Bosnian National Team star Haris Medunjanin who sent a ball into the box to the 2016 MLS Comeback Player of the Year Chris Pontius.
