Anything but a win against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday would have finally, mathematically eliminated the Philadelphia Union from playoff contention. But win they did, thanks to stellar performances from Andre Blake, Marcus Epps, and the whole squad. Epps and Roland Alberg found the net for the Union, while Blake kept the Sounders off the board on the other end.
Marcus Epps opened up the scoring in the 28th minute, picking up an incisive ball from Ilsinho and slotting it home with his left foot. The goal was the rookie’s second of the season.
