Kevin Kinkead talks to Union interim manager Jim Curtin for an update on the team’s playoff chances, injury status, international call-ups, and mentality since the Chicago draw.
Despite Chicago being ripe for the picking, even without Le Toux and Casey, the Union failed to get numbers forward and put the kind of pressure on the Fire that would yield a desperately needed result.
Video and transript of Jim Curtin’s postgame press conference and video of locker room interviews with Rais Mbolhi, Antoine Hoppenot, Danny Cruz and Amobi Okugo. Also postgame quote sheet.
Amobi Okugo was nearly the hero for the Union, but in the end, Rais Mbolhi’s blunder made the headlines, with the Union settling for a 1-1 draw against Chicago.
The Union know that three points are a necessity in a big matchup with Chicago. Can they overcome weary legs and break a scoring drought on Thursday night?
DC United does not give up home goals, and they were rarely troubled by the Union after going ahead early.
Luis Silva rose in traffic to direct home the only goal of the match as Philadelphia Union fell to DC United at RFK Stadium.
With five games to go and five teams competing for three playoff spots in the east, the Union need to rediscover their offensive form to take something off DC on the road.
