The Philadelphia Union hosted Inter Miami FC at Subaru Park on Unity night.
Alejandro Bedoya joined the starting line up giving him his 200th MLS appearance, the 3rd player in club history to reach the milestone, joining Ray Gaddis and Andre Blake. The Union took the lead early with a goal in the 14th minute from Jakob Glesnes, his first this season. Julián Carranza put the ball in the net in the 40th minute with an assist from Mikael Uhre, the latter’s 3rd assist of the season. In the closing minutes of the first half, Leon Flach scored his first goal of the year with an assist from Alejandro Bedoya. The second half brought a goal for Miami from Robert Taylor and an own goal credited to Miami’s David Ruiz.
