Hany Muktar Is Philly’s Kryptonite. Hany Muktar Is The Philadelphia Union’s Kryptonite. This is the second time this season that Hany Muktar has put icing on the cake by scoring back-to-back game-winning penalty kicks and goals. Hany Muktar would record his 9th goal of the season. Earlier in the game, Edvard Tagseth (Nashville’s midfielder) would make a nice pass in Philly’s defensive zone, and Hany Muktar finds a nice size gap where the Union wasn’t defending and takes the ball right in front of Philly’s goalkeeper, Andre Blake’s doorstep. Showing the Union’s defense, you can’t take your eyes off him for a second. Showing why Hany Muktar is one of the most dangerous players in the MLS. Nashville would get its 4th straight win. Let’s see how they do against DC on Wednesday—the US Open Cup tournament.
Getting Home Sick:
Things haven’t pan out on this 3-game road trip for the Philadelphia Union, now falling in back-to-back games. The Philadelphia Union team needs to be back home and get back to work on things. Philadelphia was shut out last week against Columbus and again tonight against Nashville. Bradley Carnell (The Philadelphia Union head coach) has to make some major adjustments and find out how to get back into the win column. Philly will face their long-time rivals, the New York Red Bulls, in back-to-back games. Starting on Wednesday in the US Open Cup tournament, then on this upcoming Saturday. Good news for the Union: these games will be in their backyard.
