The Philadelphia Union will complete their two-game road trip with a match against the Columbus Crew at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, April 24. The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Apple TV.
This matchup marks the end of a busy month for the Union, who recently secured a point from a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Toronto FC. Milan Iloski scored in first half stoppage time and Danley Jean Jacques added another early in the second half, giving Philadelphia a 2-0 lead before Toronto rallied to tie by the 64th minute. Nathan Harriel’s late header briefly put Philadelphia ahead again, but goalkeeper Luka Gavran equalized for Toronto near the end of regulation.
With Wednesday’s result, Philadelphia has earned points in three consecutive matches for a total of five this season. Despite challenges earlier in the year, Saturday’s game offers an opportunity to extend their unbeaten streak against Columbus, which currently sits ninth in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference with two wins, four losses and three draws.
Columbus began its season without a win through five games under new coach Henrik Rydström following Wilfried Nancy’s departure to Celtic FC. Recently, however, Columbus has improved its form with only one loss across four league matches in April. Their latest victory was a 2-1 win over LA Galaxy featuring goals from Diego Rossi and former Union midfielder Daniel Gazdag.
