CARDIAC KIDS: The Union have drawn both of their MLS matches this season with tying goals in the dying embers of the game. In the season-opener, Dániel Gazdag scored in the third minute of stoppage time to lead Philly to a 2-2 draw at home with the Chicago Fire, while last weekend Alejandro Bedoya found the back of the net in the fifth minute of stoppage time to gut out a 1-1 draw at Sporting Kansas City.
MIDWEEK CCC: The Sounders catch the Union in the middle of a home-and-home series with Liga MX’s CF Pachuca in the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup. After defeating Costa Rican side Saprissa, the Union will host Pachuca this Tuesday before traveling to Estadio Hidalgo in Mexico for the return leg next Tuesday.
PLAYER TO WATCH: There will likely be rotation in Head Coach Jim Curtin’s side when the Sounders come to town, but look for Gazdag to make an impact for however long he’s on the pitch. The Hungarian international is an elite attacking midfielder and has scored 41 goals in 91 MLS appearances. He’s combined for 36 goals and 21 assists over the past two MLS campaigns.
