One of Major League Soccer's hottest teams visits Chester this Saturday as Philadelphia Union
host the Kansas City Wizards.
The Wizards (7-9-5) have gone 4-1-2 over their last seven games, with wins over both
conference's first place teams.
Once again, a major gaffe by Chris Seitz kept the Union from a clean sheet and a much needed
victory. After dominating the game for 70 minutes and after a great goal from Sebastien Le Toux,
Seitz failed to set up his wall properly and then allowed Danny Arnaud's free kick to swing over
his head into the goal.

The Fire head into Philadelphia facing another must win situation. After consecutive draws that
felt like losses the team should realize that time is quickly running out if they are to make a run
for one of the remaining possible playoff spots. The first contest between the two sides resulted
in a 2-1 Fire victory that Union manager Peter Nowak was not happy with.
What is that number next to Chicago? Is that a zero? Why yes it is. The Union pitched their
first ever shutout on Saturday night with a deserved victory over a tired Chicago team. Sebastien
Le Toux scored his 11 th goal of the season for the only goal of the game. Playing their 3rd game
in eight days, Chicago appeared to have heavy legs in the first half as the Union dictated
play.
Game Summary:
20′ Andrew Jacobson Yellow Card
69′ Chris Wondolowski Goal
90′ Bobby Convey Yellow Card
90+4′ Arturo Alvarez Yellow Card
School and work have kept me away from my computer for the last few days.
First of all, I have to say that going to games on Wednesdays is fun because the tickets are
generally cheaper, and I was able to move closer to the middle of the field so I was able to see
both sides of the field equally well.

Philadelphia Union dominated Saturday as they defeated Chivas USA 3-0.
Alejandro Moreno, Fred and Sebastien Le Toux scored, and the Union allowed only two shots on
goal to secure their second shutout of the year. The three-goal margin of victory was the largest
ever for the Union.
Each goal for the Union came off a set piece, flipping what has been a major weakness for this
team all season.
