April 30, 2011: Philadelphia Union 1–0 San Jose Earthquakes

PSP match report highlight:

“After a tight and fairly chance-less forty minutes, referee Mark Geiger made sure that the critics of MLS refereeing have all the video evidence they need to strengthen their case. Sebastien Le Toux’s 76th minute penalty kick winner was the icing on the cake for a team that continued to take the game to San Jose after losing Jordan Harvey to a straight red card.”

PSP analysis and ratings highlight:

“The game itself was a slightly less dour version of the usual Union fare. A spacious 4-3-3 allowed Philadelphia to spread San Jose’s defense while a confluence of overplayed through balls, miscommunication and poor first touches kept the score even.”
