Philadelphia Union
On a beautiful night at PPL park that saw a pacy, aggressive Chivas Guadalajara outfit make Eduardo Coudet, Fred and Stefani Miglioranzi look positively geriatric, it was the spate of second half substitutes that rose to the occasion, bringing victory to the Union along with a much-needed clean sheet.
Philadelphia Union signed the right back/striker and 20-year-old former youth international, who played for Harrisburg in USL-2 this season.
A youth movement is great in theory, but there’s a major catch for Philadelphia Union. If you play the kids too much, you could lose another key player in the expansion draft. PSP plays devil’s advocate and explains why more minutes for Danny Mwanga, Jack McInerney and Amobi Okugo could be bad for the Union, as much as we’d like to see it.
Justin Mapp scored a stoppage time game-winner and assisted on the equalizer to lead the Union to a dramatic come-from-behind win that ended their six-game winless streak. PSP has analysis, video highlights and player ratings.

After drafting young and promising to develop talent, the Union have stuck with weary veterans as they fade from playoff contention. Put the young guys in.
