A win over Charlotte FC and a draw on Sunday evening against Cruz Azul (losing on PK, 3-5) means that the Philadelphia Union has finished on top in the East Group 4 in Leagues Cup play. Philadelphia advances to play against Montreal in the first round of the knockout stage on Friday.
The game against Cruz Azul took place at the Union’s Subaru Park, but it felt more like an away game. It is safe to say that Cruz Azul fans outnumbered the Union faithful, and the decibel levels proved it.
