With the FIFA International Break upon us, we’re looking back at the hot start that Philadelphia Union is currently on.
10
The Union have claimed 10 points through their first four matches in Major League Soccer Play. Not only is that the best start in club history but it also has the Boys in Blue tied with LAFC and Real Salt Lake for the Supporters’ Shield race as the international break begins.
18
Philadelphia Union has scored at least one goal in each of their last 18 matches across all competition. The scoring streak is the longest in club history and dates back to September 19th, 2021 when the Union notched three goals against Orlando City SC.
19
Philadelphia Union are unbeaten in their last 19 matches when leading at half-time. During the current streak the club is 16-0-3 which dates back to October 4, 2020.
3
Daniel Gazdag has scored in three consecutive matches to lead the Union in goals at the first break of the season. The Hungarian midfielder’s scoring streak matches the scoring frenzy that Kacper Przybylko had in July 2021.
3
Three different players have done the scoring for the Union to begin the season. Daniel Gazdag leads the way with three while Team Captain Alejandro Bedoya and forward Cory Burke are just behind with two goals apiece
2
Newcomer Julian Carranza and left back Kai Wagner each had added two assists on Union goals in 2022. The duo combined on the opening goal last weekend at New York City FC.
2
Philadelphia Union’s stingy defense has allowed just two goals through the first four matches of league play. The club ranks only behind the Chicago Fire for the fewest goals allowed and the Union had collected back-to-back clean sheets.
13
Thirteen different players have started a match for the Union during their unbeaten streak. Eight players have started all four matches. Goalkeeper Andre Blake, defenders Kai Wagner, Jakob Glesnes and Jack Elliott and midfielder Jose Martinez have played every minute of league play.
