Last time these teams met, it was the lowest point of the Union’s season. After a string of solid performances, can Jack McInerney lead Philadelphia to a much-needed trio of points?
Michael Farfan’s brilliance became Freddy Adu’s first goal of the season. Adu backheeled the winner beyond Dan Kennedy, and the Union held on with nine men to earn a difficult road victory.

The Union couldn’t believe he was available in the second round. Now the rest of the league can’t believe they passed him up. Michael Farfan came into his own in the second half of the 2011 season. Can he build on it in 2012?
Michael Farfan is the Rookie of the Week, former Union trialist Jeremiah White is in Montreal, and Keon Daniel is on the T&T roster in Bermuda.
