Though the visitors outshot the hosts 15-7, including 6-2 in shots on target, a lack of clinicality and a few good stops by Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano kept the door shut.

Kickoff is set for the weekend of Feb. 19-21, with the Union hosting Chicago. The regular season will end on May 8, and the championship game will be Memorial Day weekend. Here are all the details.

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.

Pierre is still likely going to make a big-money move to Europe in the future. For now, the Union were happy to give him a raise.

Cantor's move, famous for his indelible GOOOOOAL! celebration, surprised the soccer community. But as he told The Inquirer, the reasons were fairly straightforward.

The Union relentlessly pursued Vazquez, wooing him from California. Now, he's back home, hoping to take what he learned while here and parlay it into a trip to the Summer Games in 2028.
