PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand for the Philadelphia Union’s 3-0 win over Toronto FC on Sunday at PPL Park. Here’s a look at what he saw.
A little pre-game kick-about for the kids
The starting eleven
Carlos Valdes clears up field out of traffic
Freddy Adu with some fancy footwork
Lionard Pajoy goes up for the ball
Jack McInerney upended by Milos Kocic’s save
Valdes gets a little high with his boot
Kocic denies McInerney a second time
Amobi Okugo tries to head one on goal
McInerney watches his pass knocked into goal by Gabriel Gomez
Michael Farfan covers Reggie Lambe
Freddy Adu lines up the shot…
…and beats the keeper on the far post
Who’s the nuttiest fan?
Kocic just barely denies Pajoy’s attempt to head into the corner
Zac MacMath makes sure the ball does not cross the line
Okugo and Williams run down Ryan Johnson
Brian Carroll looks to pick another pocket
I don’t know who did it but it wasn’t Gomez
Okugo climbs up Milos Kocic
Sure, it looks dramatic, but is it on goal?
Reggie Lambe hits the deck
The River End celebrate after Antoine Hoppenot’s goal, the third of the game (free haircuts for all!)
Kocic grabs the ball before Hoppenot can put another in
Roger Torres returns
Hoppenot works to get loose in the box
Rob Vartughian walking with his little angel
Zac MacMath makes a young fan glow after the game

Great pics, as always. Anyone grab a photo of Soumare pre-game?
Here are a couple: http://home.comcast.net/~anotherchancetosee/Bakary_Soumare.jpg and https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/580901_324469244311616_1413760615_n.jpg
If they’re yours, add them to our Flickr stream. They’re good photos.
Thank you and no, I didn’t catch Soumare this game but hopefully next weekend.
Better than the Courier post picture of the game
MacMath is a class act. Great moment caught in that picture.
Thank you for the comments, I think it’s great the the players and coaches stay to interact with the fans.
Great shots Paul!
