Despite playing some of their most attractive soccer since Jim Curtin took over as head coach, the Union only managed a draw against traveling Toronto FC on Saturday evening. In the 2-2 finish, the home side found their goals through Jay Simpson and CJ Sapong while Jozy Altidore and Justin Morrow tallied for TFC.
Simpson grabbed the Philadelphia Union’s first, and his first with the Union, just 11 minutes into the game. After Chris Pontius had knocked down an immaculate Haris Medunjanin diagonal, the Englishman headed home the ball. Either in the process of scoring the goal or slightly thereafter, Simpson sustained an injury that, as he later told Curtin, had an impact on his breathing.
