In a battle for first place in the Eastern Conference, the parvenus sent a message to the defending champions.

Saturday night, in front of a crowded crowd at Talen Energy Stadium, the Philadelphia Union (winner of zero playoff game in the history of the club) scored three goals in the second half for a thrilling 3-1 win over Atlanta United. (The 2018 MLS Cup champions who added a US Open Cup trophy to their law firm earlier this week).

Kacper Przybylko returned the winner in the 86th minute under the feet of second-half submarine Sergio Santos, who then scored the match goal two minutes later.

Philly equalized in the 66th minute when Brenden Aaronson, 18, scored his second goal in as many games (and his second goal in two games against Atlanta) after Jack Elliott forced a turnaround and Haris Medunjanin the ball the highest.

Josef Martinez scored his 13th consecutive game in MLS, finding the back of the net thanks to a brilliant match-off with Darlington Nagbe just before half-time. Martinez almost took another, but he missed the goal opened in the 80th minute, before sinking to the ground. Fortunately for fans in Atlanta, the injury did not seem serious, the star striker quickly reinstated the competition.

The Union also thought they had scored goals, but Przybylko's goal in the 33rd minute was dismissed after a video review, as Marco Fabian was offside.

With this victory, the Union has found itself alone in first place points – with 51, three more than Atlanta.

Three things

  • THE GREAT IMAGE: Given the first place at the end of the season, electricity in the stadium and the evolution of the match with a comeback in the second half, you can assert that this was one of the best victories of the last ten years of the Union history – if not the best. And it was even more impressive to do without their heart and soul, Captain Alejandro Bedoya, suspended for accumulating a yellow card. All that being said, the loss is probably not particularly difficult for Atlanta, who played on tired legs after winning an Open Cup title four days earlier – and another trophy two weeks ago.
  • MOMENT OF THE GAME: Shouting the winner of Przybylko's match was not only the moment of the match, but perhaps also the time of the season for Philly.
  • MAN OF THE GAME: While Martinez continues to accumulate incredible feats for Atlanta, the Union showed they had a very good striker, Przybylko scored his 13th goal of the year (and was recalled again).
