A Second Look: Philadelphia Union vs. RBNY

In this episode, I break down the 3-2 Union victory over the New York Red Bulls.

The Union set up to try and control the match, and looked strong until a couple of Red Bull counters put the visitors ahead at the half.

Ilsinho came on and made a big impact, but this episode will focus mainly on midfield runs.

Kaku scored the first with a deep run past the Union midfield, and Jamiro Monteiro repaid the favor with one of his own.

I’ll also look at how Ilsinho was able to get by his man and draw defenders away from their positions, which created openings for both his team mates and himself to exploit.
