Danny Mwanga drilled home a cannon shot of a goal in injury time to earn the Union a 1-1 draw in an evenly played match today at the Linc. Both goalkeepers put on terrific displays. We have the highlights and points to take away from the game.
Union
Philadelphia Union
Somebody knows what they’re doing: more please!
The deals with Celtic and Manchester United were fantastic coups for the Union. After last week’s debacle in Salt Lake we look for reasons for encouragement on the field. Off the field, how about some deals for new players?
Preview: FC Dallas at Philadelphia Union
Welcome home, Philadelphia Union. After five straight road games (all losses), the Union finally get another home game Saturday, with FC Dallas coming to town. Dallas is clicking on all cylinders but one — they can’t seem to finish. Will that help the Union pull off an upset?
Celtic to play Union on July 14

Wrap-up: Real Salt Lake 3-0 Philadelphia Union
At this point in the season, it’s cliched to say that the only thing consistent about the Philadelphia Union is inconsistency. Every game somebody seems to take a step forward while somebody else takes a step back. Kyle Nakazawa got his first start in the midfield while Jack McInerney slotted in next to Moreno up top. Danny Mwanga continued to hold down his spot at left bench.
Preview: Philadelphia Union at Real Salt Lake
The Union travel to Utah to face the defending champs, who have struggled just as much as the Union have. Neither team has played to its potential. The Union could be without three regulars, but they still go in with the chance to steal three points from Real Salt Lake.
