  The Philadelphia Union (1-0-6) battled back from a deficit to ultimately defeat CF Montréal (1-0-6), securing their first win and points of the 2026 MLS season. Iván Jaime’s opener was canceled out by Union defender Japhet Sery Larsen’s header, before Jesús Bueno hammered home the winner. The result sees the Union lifted out of the Eastern Conference basement, and means the Union are safe from the ignominy of extending their franchise worst start to the season.  First Half Review The Philadelphia Union began the game with energy, and briefly controlled the tempo, but were unable to create any meaningful chances in their opening flurry. CF Montréal quickly took over, and the contest became a disjointed affair, featuring many fouls, yellow cards, and two VAR reviews. In the 13th minute, Montréal were gifted a big chance following a mistake from Jovan  Lukić . The Serbian midfielder was dispossessed in the Union’s half by Wiki Carmona, but his through ball to Iván Jaime wa...

  The Philadelphia Union’s horrid start to the season continued with a sixth loss in a row, this time on the road at Charlotte FC. Playing through some dreadful weather in a back-and-forth game, the Union were unable to summon the quality necessary to secure their first points of the 2026 season. First Half Review The match started at a high pace. Charlotte saw a pair of chances from Pep Biel and Djibril Diani in the 4th and 6th minutes, but both missed narrowly wide. On the other end, Milan Iloski slotted the ball home after a through ball from Indiana Vassilev, but his goal was called back for offside. As the rain turned torrential, Charlotte took control of the game and found it much too easy to pass through the Union’s defensive lines. It paid off in the 30th minute as Tim Ream and Charlotte effortlessly played into Philadelphia’s box, and after a brief scramble, the ball was slotted home by Charlotte captain Ashley Westwood. Charlotte almost added another in the 44th minute on...

  The Chicago Fire earned a 2-1 road victory over the struggling Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park on Kids’ Day, powered by goals from Hugo Cuypers and Jonathan Bamba. Cuypers continued his strong start to the season, scoring his fourth goal late in the first half for the Fire (2-2-1, 7 points), who secured their first away win of the season. Fire  goalkeeper Chris Brady made three big saves as Chicago snapped a four-match winless run against Philadelphia and avenged last year’s playoff elimination. Philadelphia (0-5-0, 0 points) saw its difficult start continue, extending the worst opening ever by a reigning Supporters’ Shield winner. The loss came less than 72 hours after their elimination from the CONCACAF Champions Cup. First Half Review Both teams struck during an extended first-half stoppage time. Chicago opened the scoring when Andrew Gutman delivered a curling cross from the left, and Cuypers rose between defenders to head home from close range. The Union responded fou...

  The Philadelphia Union dropped a decisive loss to Atlanta United, losing their 4th game in a row. Atlanta largely broke through the Union’s press with ease, especially on the counter. On the other hand, Philly struggled to create, and were wasteful with their opportunities. However, they were able to find the back of the net for just the second time this season, the only silver lining in what was otherwise a dreadful display. First Half Review Philadelphia had the first real chance of the match early on in the 3rd minute. Makhanya used his body to win a challenge near the sideline, allowing Indiana Vassilev to find Milan Iloski. The West Coaster’s return pass was a perfectly weighted through ball to Vassilev again, whose cross picked out Bruno Damiani in the box, but the Uruguayan’s header flashed wide. Ilsoki was again involved in the 10th minute, after a few passes exchanged between him and Jovan Lukić, Iloski took a powerful shot that was mere inches wide. Atlanta had a near m...
