Philadelphia Union grabbed a stoppage time goal to beat LA 2-1. Michael Farfan’s late game heroics shocked the heavily favored Galaxy and continued a run of form for the Union. Although the U have been playing well and scoring goals they still have their work cut out for them. The Union’s record is currently 4-9-2 on the season.
The next 4 games are home (2 league, 1 cup and 1 friendly). The next game is on Sunday against Toronto, the worst team in the league. TFC are 1-5-2 on the road so the Union have to feel confident that they can get three points. The Red patch boys have been scored on 30 times this season making them the second worse defense in the league.
Toronto FC are last in the standings but should not be taken lightly considering the fact that the Union loss to TFC earlier this year. This team cannot be taken lightly; star striker Danny Kovermans has netted 9 of Toronto’s 18 goals. The Union will have their hands full dealing with the 6’3 Dutchman.
Working against the Union is the schedule with a midweek game in LA and the semifinal 2 days later, Hack might not field a full team. But enough players have been playing well that the Union should see themselves through with a positive result.
Prediction: Union Win 2-1, in the last two games, the Union have gotten goals from unlikely sources (Keon Daniel and Marfan). That is key because teams are going to start playing Jack Mac up close and as long as the U. I predict a goal from a middy and a striker.
