New England Revolution had 11 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Gil (11'), Dor Turgeman (36'), Peyton Miller (56') and Brooklyn Raines (67') scored for New Eng. Revolution.

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Atlanta United have the ability to break down this Philadelphia Union side, but that probably won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
We can see a close game with a 2-1 win for Philadelphia Union at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
