Philadelphia Union saw a trio of shots clank off the post in the club's first match action of the 2021 preseason, falling to Orlando City SC by a 1-0 margin at the Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex in Clearwater, Florida.
After the first 15 minutes of the match saw both sides fighting for possession, the Union took control with attacks on the left side of the pitch. Homegrown Jack de Vries earned the start atop the Union attack and nearly make it 1-0 in the 35th minute. The 18-year-old drifted inside for space and fired a shot from the edge of the 18-yard-box but saw the ball ring off the post.
