Philadelphia Union forward Lionard Pajoy suspended one game

“It’s really full-circle to get the chance to play with some of the guys I’ve looked up to all my life,” the Union's teen phenom said about teaming up with the U.S.' men's team's biggest star.

The Union’s Neil Pierre, Wayne’s Matt Freese, Media’s Auston Trusty, and Chester native George Campbell also made the squad for this month’s Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.

Earning a point against Nashville was always going to be an uphill climb. But the Union earned a crucial point, got some help, and are now playoff-bound after a remarkable comeback story.

It was an ugly game for both teams, with lots of lineup rotation. But the point gained from the first shutout in over a month will come in handy the rest of the way.

The playoff scenarios are the same as the last game: win, and you’re in. Draw, and securing a spot gets a bit trickier. Still, a trio of tough games remain to secure anything.

With fellow striker Bruno Damiani suspended due to yellow card accumulation, the Union’s entire starting front line will be unavailable. Ezekiel Alladoh and Agustín Anello might get shots to start.

The Revolution walked out of Subaru Park with a 2-1 win, earned by goals from Dor Turgeman in the first half and Carles Gil in the second. Neil Pierre scored a consolation tally in the final minutes.
