Philadelphia Union Edge New England Revolution 1-0 To Stay Top And End Revs' Playoff Hopes

Andre Blake returned from a hamstring injury to post a clean sheet.

Overview

  • Bruno Damiani scored in the 71st minute from Milan Iloski's low cross after an Indiana Vassilev through ball.
  • New England finished with 10 men after Peyton Miller received a straight red for throwing the ball at Tai Baribo in the 75th minute.
  • The victory keeps Philadelphia atop the Supporters' Shield standings and snaps a two-game losing streak across all competitions.
  • Blake made his first start since Aug. 16 and logged his eighth shutout, while Matt Turner produced several key saves for the Revolution.
  • Frankie Westfield is set to join the U.S. U-20 World Cup squad in Chile later this month, and Tai Baribo will miss the Union's next MLS match due to yellow-card accumulation.
