NYC’s inability to turn possession into chances should allow Philly to spring the counterattack on Saturday.

CJ Sapong, Vincent Nogueira, and Sebastien Le Toux were all on target as the Union easily defeated Columbus 3-0.
The Union have a chance for revenge as the Crew come to PPL Park after smacking down the Union in late April.
A fluky loss should not send Union fans back to the doldrums.
Postgame reaction from Jim Curtin, Maurice Ed, and Sebastien Le Toux following the loss to DC.
A late Chris Rolfe penalty gave DC United a 2-1 victory over the Union at RFK Stadium.
DC is on a three match winless streak and struggling to score. However, Ben Olsen’s side has been much stronger at home than on the road this season. Can the Union round out a resurgent May with another win over one of the better sides in the east?
In a performance reminiscent of their late collapse against Kansas City, the Union had little possession or passing success. But the introduction of CJ Sapong changed the energy of the match and Philly rediscovered their counterattacking chops in a strong second half.
