October 20, 2011: New York Red Bulls 1 – 0 Philadelphia Union

PSP Match Report Highlights

“In a match that was billed as a great Eastern Conference showdown with both teams having plenty to play for, the New York Red Bulls dominated the Union with a 1-0 scoreline that could have been far more lopsided in favor of the hosts.”

“Gabe Farfan, Brian Carroll and Justin Mapp would join Valdes in being guilty of sloppy turnovers as the Union simply could not find any rhythm in possession.”

PSP Player Ratings and Analysis Highlights

“It was an embarrassing loss. One embarrassing loss. Of course the timing was terrible and everyone, players, coaches and fans, would have preferred a different result and performance, but in the end it was one game.”

“While there is no doubting his ability to be an immense talent, throwing him in at the deep end, the way he [Zach Pfeffer] was on Thursday, has a greater chance of damaging his confidence than improving him as a player.”

April 9, 2011: Philadelphia Union 1 – 0 New York Red Bulls

PSP Match Report Highlights

“With the Eastern Conference favorite New York Red Bulls in town, it was the teenagers that made the difference as Danny Mwanga set up a Roger Torres goal in the 68th minute to lead the Union to a 1-0 Union victory.”

“As the final whistle sounded, Danny Califf leaped into the arms of his captain and goalkeeper. A boisterous and deserved celebration by a defense that has yet to allow a goal in open play this season.”

PSP Player Ratings and Analysis Highlights

“Luck, fate, four-leaf clovers… Nowak doesn’t care what it looks like as long as it adds up to three points. And it’s good for the Union that he doesn’t care, because the third win of the young season was only marginally prettier than the first two.”

“Torres, of course, scored with his first touch and turned that star-making moment into twenty minutes of intelligent and incisive ball movement that wore down the Energy Drinks as they struggled to find an equalizer.”
