A five-goal offensive explosion propelled the Philadelphia Union to a win over Minnesota United and a 2018 MLS playoff birth.

Everyone impressed in this surprise victory of Western Conference visitors, but there were still standouts.
Jay Simpson scored twice as the Union beat Sporting Kansas City 2-0.
Borek Dockal, passer extraordinaire. PSP’s Johnny O offers this entry to the Raves series. There might some alcohol involved. And a time machine. And a Czech musical icon. And our favorite soccer pub in Philly.
Fafa Picault’s late goal made the difference as the Union snatched three points far from home, snapping Seattle’s nine-match win streak with a 1-0 win.
Montreal cruises past the Union 4-1 in Chester.
Plus: D.C. on Phang, Sky Blue FC turmoil continues, and La Liga probably isn’t coming over for a visit.
Plus Pulisic injured for USMNT friendlies, Sounders & RSL set records, ManU finally win 2nd match of season, and more.
