The Union played too deep to start, responded well to Dallas’ opener, then failed to mount a comeback in the second half after a deflating own goal.
Postgame quotes from Jim Curtin, Sheanon Williams, and Aaron Wheeler following the 2-1 loss in Dallas.
An early second half own goal gave Dallas all three points over the Union in Texas.
The Union can play more aggressive defensively against a depleted Dallas side, but can they counterattack effectively against a conservative midfield and big defense?
There were signs of real progress as the Union returned to league play with a 3-1 road win over New England.
Postgame comments from the Union’s Jim Curtin, Sebastien Le Toux, Amobi Okugo, and from New England’s Jay Heaps, Chris Tierney, and Jose Goncalves.
The Union returned to league action with a 3-1 victory in New England. Jim Curtin moves to 3-0-0 as interim Philadelphia coach.
A new head coach will lead the Union out against a team that recently put five past them with ease. Jim Curtin will be looking for a stout defensive showing from his new charges as the Union try to solve New England before the teams meet in the US Open Cup on July 8.
The 4-4-2 the Union trotted out against the Cosmos left wide open spaces in the heart of the pitch on both sides of the ball. If they choose to do the same against the Revolution on Saturday, the result will likely be very different.
