How The Match Unfolded LINEUP NOTES Ryan Richter made just one change from last weekend's draw against Austin, adding the Jovan Lukic back into the XI to replace Jesus Bueno. Three-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Andre Blake started between the posts, behind a backline featuring Kai Wagner on the left opposite Frankie Westfield, plus Neil Pierre and Nathan Harriel paired at centerback. Lukic, Danley, Indiana Vassilev, and Cavan Sullivan made up the midfield, while Milan Iloski and Bruno Damiani started up top. 1', Strong traveling support | The 100+ contigent of Philadelphia Union faithful in the 200-level of Sports Illustrated Stadium made their presence known early, chanting loud to kick off the match. 3', Red Bull chances | A chance from Red Bull's rising young star Julian Hall was stopped by Blake, and while Adri Mehmeti was able to continue the host's attack with a shot of his own, his attempt sailed over left. 18', Blake save! | Blake dove for a save in the 18th minute, diving to make the stop on an open Jorge Ruvalcaba, but he was ultimately caught offsides. 21', Iloski opens scoring on the road! | Philly fans were sent into a frenzy when the Boys in Blue struck first away from home -- from the right corner, Danley sent the ball across the box past Iloski to Vassilev on the other side, who sent it back in for a final touch from the number 10. 32', Blake save! | Blake made a stop on Cade Cowell in the 32nd minute. 38', Harriel block | A chipped pass into the box toward Hall left the 18-year-old and Harriel battling for possesion in front of the net. The Union Homegrown hit the ground without a call from the officials, forcing Blake to make a 1v1 initial stop, but a shot Ruvalcaba caused Harriel to quickly reset for a header block to keep it 1-0. 45+1, Corner chance | In the final minute of the first half, a short corner from the left executed by Wagner spurred a promising flurry of shots from Philly, with Iloski taking three chances before his final shot hit the side netting. Halftime | Philly retreated to the locker room for halftime with a 1-0 advantage over Red Bull.
