Union drop points at home to San Jose Earthquakes

The Philadelphia Union offense finally remembered how to score on Saturday night but also squandered chances to return to the win column in a 1-1 draw with San Jose Earthquakes in front of another sparse crowd at Talen Energy Stadium.

With Fafà Picault back in the lineup for the first time this season after serving a three-game suspension, the Union attack looked sharp out of the gate but still struggled to — stop me if you’ve heard this one before — find that final ball.

The Union played the way a team at home against a team with a bad road record playing on the opposite coast should play but like a bad movie we’ve seen all too many times, the Union went into the break down 1-0 from a goal Magnus Eriksson created basically out of nothing.
