SAVE OF THE WEEK
Perk preserves a clean sheet against Celtic

Philadelphia Union rookie goalkeeper Brian Perk, seeing his first action of the year has earned the Philly Soccer News Save of the Week for the week ending July 18.

With the Union holding a 1-0 lead into the final minutes, Celtic’s best chance came on a flurry. A corner kick led to a header, but Benjamin Hutchinson’s shot hit the corner of the right post and the crossbar and came out. James Forest got the rebound, but Perk was quick to cover it up.

The clean sheet was the first for the team all year.
