Philadelphia Union entered Subaru Park on a mission to extend their winning streak, and after a tense opening they delivered a dramatic 3‑2 comeback against Atlanta United.
The match took a pivotal turn early when Atlanta’s defense was reduced to ten men, allowing the Union to strike first with a swift two‑goal lead that set the tone for the contest.
Midfielder Kai Wagner orchestrated the comeback, providing the assist for the equalizer and later delivering the decisive pass that set up Ezekiel Alladoh’s game‑winning goal, while forward Milan Iloski capped the performance with a club‑record sixth consecutive goal, executed with a daring back‑heel flick.
