Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz issued a statement before Wednesday’s game in support of under-fire Union manager John Hackworth and says the team is “scouring the marketplace to find and bring in attacking talent.”
Postgame quotes from John Hackworth, Zac MacMath, Danny Cruz, and Cristian Maidana.
On a night when Sporting Kansas City’s national-teamers played the full 90 while the Union’s played none, Philadelphia did what absolutely no one expected: win.
Philadelphia Union’s manager directly answered questions about his job security and said he wants to add a striker and cut down on the team’s crossing.
