Postgame video of John Hackworth’s press conference and locker room interviews with Bakary Soumare, Jose Kleberson, Ray Gaddis, Amobi Okugo and Sheanon Williams. Plus, Union and Galaxy postgame quote sheet.
Despite a strong first half showing, the Union faded down the stretch, allowing the visiting Galaxy to score three unanswered second half goals for a 4-1 victory.
LA will want at least a point against a Union squad that has maintained a flimsy home fortress. The local lads should see a midweek matchup as the perfect moment to pounce on a tired and injury-laden opponent.
The Philadelphia Union trade Gabriel Farfan to Chivas USA for allocation money and a 2014 first round draft pick.
The Union managed to steal three points in Chicago, but outside of Zac MacMath, Jack McInerney and Sebastien Le Toux’s pinpoint delivery, there were precious few positives.
Zac MacMath stonewalled the Fire until Jack McInerney and Sebastien Le Toux could steal all three points for the visitors. PSP has a match report, stats and video highlights.
The Union have been a counterattacking team on the road in 2013. Can they revert to a less possession-based style at Chicago without sacrificing the improved fluidity seen against Seattle?
The former all-star looks set to replace injured center back Jeff Parke in Saturday’s nationally televised game. “My expectation is that he makes the most of this,” Union manager John Hackworth said.
UPDATED with quotes from Soumare.
PSP analyzes Philadelphia Union’s salary breakdown and identifies the steals (like Ray Gaddis, pictured), veteran bargains, surprises, and winner of the Juan Diego Gonzalez Award. Also, we take a look at several potential trade scenarios for Bakary Soumare.
Was the no-call handball the primary reason for three points becoming one on Saturday?
