Match preview
Philadelphia Union can’t stop winning, doing so by emphatic margins too.
Last weekend, Jim Curtin’s men demolished the league’s bottom club D.C. United 6-0 at Audi Field.
Mikael Uhre, Dániel Gazdag and Cory Burke all scoring in the capital, while Julián Carranza bagged a hat-trick.
This means the Union have won three times by 6+ goals this season, equaling SKC’s single-season record, with all of these victories coming in their last nine games.
Specifically, against DC, Philly have beaten them 13-0 across the two games, the largest aggregate victory in a single MLS season.
Also, Carranza is just the second player in MLS to score a hat-trick home and away against the same opponent, after Cobi Jones against Colorado in 1998.
So, a daunting prospect for the aforementioned Colorado Rapids, who were thwarted by a last-gasp goal a week ago.
Lalas Abubakar gave them the lead at home to Houston Dynamo, only for the Texans to equalise with a 96th minute penalty.
This means Robin Fraser’s team are now winless in three, dropping down to 11th in the west, but just two points below the play-off line.
Having seen their team score 21 goals in their last five home matches, the support at Subaru Park will expect another Philadelphia victory.
