BOUNCING BACK
MacMath shakes off Galaxy loss, helps Union edge Chicago

Zac MacMath wins a battle with Chicago’s Sherjill MacDonald and Patrick Nyarko in the second half of Saturday’s 1-0 Union win at PPL Park. CHESTER, Pa.---It’s the life of a goalkeeper still learning the rigors of big time soccer. Just four nights after having perhaps the worst game of his still very young career, Zac Mac Math made six saves and helped the Philadelphia Union hang on to a one-goal lead for 87 minutes as they beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 for the second time in eight days.

HISTORY REPEATS
Philadelphia Union edge Chicago 1-0 - again

Union goalscorer Jack McInerney eludes Chicago's Dilly Duka in the second half of Saturday's 1-0 win at PPL Park. CHESTER, Pa---After their embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy midweek, the Philadelphia Union needed a win to get their confidence back. They did that, defeating the Chicago Fire 1-0, Saturday at PPL Park, but despite playing a man up for nearly a half hour, they at times seemed to show the wear of a third game in eight days.

“WE NEED THREE POINTS”
Philadelphia Union viewing Saturday’s match against Fire as a must-win

With Jeff Parke still hobbled by a hamstring strain, Bakary Soumare is likely to get another start against his former teammates from Chicago on Saturday. The Philadelphia Union arguably played their worst game of the season on Wednesday night, but they have to put it behind them quickly, as they host the Chicago Fire at PPL Park on Saturday at 7:30 pm (TCN).

WELCOME TO MLS
DP Kleberson gets first start for Philadelphia Union

Union DP Kleberson tees up a shot in the second half of Wednesday’s game against the LA Galaxy. It didn't come with the fanfare of first games of other Designated Players in Major League Soccer, but the Philadelphia Union's first foreign DP, Kleberson, got his first start Wednesday night in the Union's 4-1 loss to the LA Galaxy.

HOME NOT SO SWEET
Union home struggles show in 4-1 loss to Galaxy

The Galaxy’s Robbie Keane didn’t get past Union ‘keeper Zac MacMath on this play, but finished with a goal and an assist on Wednesday night. CHESTER, Pa.---Home is not a fortress any more. The gates have been crashed and the parapets overrun.

NOT THERE YET
Galaxy put Union in their place at PPL Park

This late Jack McInerney header went into the net, but the goal was called back. CHESTER, Pa.---The Philadelphia Union may be looking for some credit when they play well and win, but their loss Wednesday night shows they are not yet ready to play with the big boys of MLS, as they fell to the Los Angeles Galaxy 4-1 at PPL Park.

SOMETHING TO PROVE
Union want to show they can play with big boys

Sheanon Williams will be off suspension and back on the Union backline against Landon Donocan and the LA Galaxy on Wednesday. Respect. It's something that has to be earned. The Philadelphia Union are feeling like they are not getting the respect they have earned, and want to use Wednesday's game at PPL Park against the Los Angeles Galaxy to prove they deserve it.
