It’s weird to talk about a 3-3 draw where the Philadelphia Union twice blew a lead as such an important game in their run to a Supporters’ Shield in 2020 but a year later it’s still hard not to remember that game as a harbinger of all that eventually came after it.
Jakob Glesnes strapping a ball to a rocket to score from another zip code, Jose Martinez repeatedly changing his bloody jersey in possibly the most memorable Union debut in team history and Brenden Aaronson spinning and slicing his way through a defense that conceded the fewest goals in 2019 were just a few of the highlights.
