Union fall 2-0
The Union fell 2-0 to Atlanta United FC on Haris Medunjanin’s return to the lineup. 17,025 Philly fans were treated to a tight battle as their side gave the Eastern Conference leaders all they could handle but failed to provide the finishing touch to their chances in Talen Energy Stadium Saturday evening.
Three takeaways from the match
The Union executed their gameplan well, working the ball around Atlanta’s defense and creating isolation moments for their wingers. Ilsinho, in particular, tortured the Five Stripes’ defenders up the right and connected with Ale Bedoya, Borek Dockal, and Keegan Rosenberry to get behind Atlanta and look for cutbacks.
