PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand Saturday night as the Philadelphia Union started out a little slow but finished with a 2-0 victory over the visiting DC United. Here’s a look at what he saw.
The starting teams take to the pitch at PPL Park.

Jeff Parke getting into the offense early.

Fábio Alves “Fabinho” had a solid game with some nice runs.

Brian Carroll with solid play all night.
