Philadelphia Union's Tactics Pay Off in 1-0 Win Over Charlotte FC.
The Philadelphia Union defeated Charlotte FC 1-0 in a match where they employed a 3-5-2 formation inspired by Brentford FC's tactics. Union head coach Jim Curtin praised his team's defensive effort and the luxury of having three center backs that can defend space. He also highlighted the contributions of Dániel Gazdag, who continues to fly under the radar despite averaging nearly a goal contribution per game since the start of 2022. The Union are focused on creating distance between themselves and the log-jammed Eastern Conference.
