Philadelphia Union vs DC United

Philadelphia United dominated possession at Subaru Park but couldn't find a way through a stubborn DC United defense in a frustrating 0-0 draw. The hosts had 62 percent of the ball and peppered the visitors with chances, registering 17 shots and forcing four on target. Frankie Westfield was the standout performer for the Union, putting in a tireless display that earned him the man of the match award, but even his best efforts couldn't unlock the door. DC United, content to sit deep, barely threatened at the other end with just six shots attempted and none that troubled the keeper. It's the kind of result that will sting for Jim Curtin's side. Thirteen corners came and went without producing the breakthrough they desperately needed, while their visitors managed just a single corner in return. A draw isn't the worst outcome when you're that dominant, but the Union will feel they left two points on the table here. They'll be kicking themselves heading into the next fixture.

Philadelphia Union and DC United drew 0-0 at Subaru Park, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Philadelphia Union holding 62% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
