PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand Saturday night as the Philadelphia Union fell 1-2 to Real Salt Lake. It was a chilly, action-packed night of soccer under the lights of Subaru Park, but ultimately the Union couldn’t take advantage of the extra week of rest as Salt Lake ended their unbeaten start to the season.
