    Philadelphia Union vs. LAFC

    With playoffs quickly approaching, this intense matchup against league giants, LAFC, will put the Philadelphia Union to the true test. If they want to win the MLS Cup this season for the first time in their franchise history, they must have the abilities to shut down some of the league’s most elite players, including LAFC’s Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi. This summer, the Union added the likes of German striker, Andrew Wooten, who can hopefully aid the Union in their lackluster finishing abilities. Come join the crowd at Talen Energy Stadium to cheer on the boys in blue at one of their last regular season matches.
