Chester PA: There is a certain feeling when you play in front of your fans for the first time this season, and that is what we got on Saturday as the Philadelphia Union battled with FC Cincinnati at Subaru Park. The Union came into the game after an impressive win over Orlando City in the season opener last week.

Lineup:

The Union would honor longtime Play by Play Voice JP Dellacamera as he would bang the drum before the game

How the game went:

The Union would get the Sold Out Crowd at Subaru Park rocking early in the 6th minute on a Goal from Tai Baribo for the early lead

 

Later on in the first half, Baribo would add to the lead & then it would be waived off, the VAR would come into play & the reaction inside Subaru Park as the call was overturned & Good goal for the Union & 2nd of game for Tai Baribo

Going into the second half, what can FC Cincinnati do to get back into the game, Barbio would score the Hat Trick Goal & the crowd inside Subaru Park was enjoying everything they were seeing, Andre Blake would make some big saves. FC Cincinnati would break through with a goal in the 58th minute to cut into the lead.

The Union would put the nail in the coffin on a goal from Bruno Damiani, who was playing in 1st game in Philadelphia & it was one of those nights where everything was going the Philadelphia Union way

The Union would win the game 4-1 & start the season 2-0 & the 1st home win for new Head Coach Bradley Carnell. Through 2 games the Union have scored 8 goals & so far they are exciting to watch.
