Three consecutive clean sheets were worth pizza and beer for the Philadelphia Union back line as promised by manager Jim Curtin.
‘’My wallet gets a little lighter but that’s okay because those guys earned it and they deserve it,” Curtin said following a 2-0 victory against Charlotte FC on Saturday, making it a fourth straight win for his side as they remain unbeaten this season.
As deserving of pizza and beer as the back line is, the simplest of minds will tell you that a win is impossible by simply defending. Looking at numbers, the Union have managed 10 goals in just five games, one name that hasn’t been among the goal-scorers but has been crucial in the final third; Sergio Santos.
