Damn hell! What a match!
The Philadelphia Union is the Eastern Conference champion, scoring three unanswered goals Sunday night after losing 1-0 at home, retaliating against NYC FC after last year’s COVID nonsense forced them to play in the convention finals with 11 players.
They are now heading to the MLS Cup for the first time in franchise history, joining the Phillies as the home team to play for a championship in 2022.
I’m not going to lie, it felt a bit like a classic Andy Reid Eagles choke test for a while there. The Union looked a little off, their captain had to be replaced, then they gave in first, squeezing Subaru Park’s sphincters in the process. Surely they weren’t going to lose at home to NYC in the convention finals for a moment straight into the season, were they?
“Not so fast my friends,” as Lee Corso would say.
It’s 3x MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Andre Blake as a catalyst for change:

The back corner showed that the ball was hit directly towards him, but it was low and forced the reaction, so for Blake to put a big arm on it and stop it, it’s incredibly impressive. He’s been doing this for almost nine full seasons now, so no one deserves to be surprised.
Here is the equalizer:

A brilliant ball played here through a central defender, if you can. Jakob Glesnes won the defender of the year award, but he is discreet, a very sharp player in forward positions and has a very intelligent eye. Here they put NYC to sleep after a substitution and perfectly pondered that pass to the right channel to take home Julian Carranza.
This ended up being the winner of the game:

The highlights don’t go back far enough, however, this one started with a defensive win for Glesnes, and then Union drove the numbers down the right flank. Teenager Jack McGlynn plays on the charming left foot crossing, Carranza directs it perfectly. and Daniel Gazdag stays next door, stays calm and finishes.
They added an assurance objective:

A vintage Cory Burke Route 1 right there. He is a handful and has created a lot just by sweeping his own in the throat of the opposition.
Needless to say, however, I am really pleased for Jim Curtin, the table staff, the players and all the enthusiasts who have been coming to Chester since day one. The main workplace was everywhere, but this franchise has turned the corner hard and they deserve all the good fortune they’ve had since 2019. In fact, they are a blue-collar organization that plays hard and embodies everything Philadelphia sports enthusiasts are looking for. on their computers. They don’t give up, squeak, are mentally strong, etc. Choose the shot you want. They divulge all that, and although it is not pretty, it is actually effective and now they have the possibility of winning their trophy for now from 2020.
Union at LAFC the final of the MLS Cup, which will take place this Saturday at four in the afternoon.
