PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand for a wet Saturday afternoon as Philadelphia Union came from two goals down to tie the New York Red Bulls 2-2. Here’s a look at what he saw.

Love how Luyindula is pulling White’s jersey as he dives for the penalty. Should be a retroactive yellow.
Good call, that pic sums it up nicely.
Love the 2nd-to-last picture; all those pointing fingers!
One more goal! Right?
Hahaha…When you see a picture like that, it makes you laugh. When you look closer and realize that you are the most animated finger-giver, it makes you laugh out loud. The rain delay, and the beers that went with it, took its toll on me. Good times!!!
That’s hilarious.
