October 15, 2011: Philadelphia 1 – 1 Toronto FC

PSP Match Report Highlights

“While the Union’s unbeaten streak now stands at eight games, the draw will be seen as a disappointment for the Union. The silver lining is that they have clinched their first ever playoff spot.”

“The Union could not turn the offensive tap back on after they took their foot off the gas and conceded the equalizer.”

PSP Player Ratings and Analysis Highlights

“[Aron Winter] might as well have just driven the team bus out on the field and parked it in front of his goal.”

“While the Union had a number of chances to close their home campaign with a victory, the combination of Kocic’s great day at the office and some poor finishing in front of goal combined to deprive the Union of the win.”

May 28, 2011: Toronto FC 2 – 6 Philadelphia Union

PSP Match Report Highlights

“The Union scored six goals against a hapless Toronto FC defense, with Justin Mapp and Danny Mwanga both netting braces.”

“It was a dominant performance, but the fifteen minutes of guileless defending to start the second half will worry Nowak and Hackworth.”

PSP Player Ratings and Analysis Highlights

“To bask in the glory of a six star performance is tempting. So give in, just for a moment. Most goals in team history… Le Toux and Mwanga together… a goal off a set piece…”

“Twice the Toronto defense backed off, afraid to challenge Mapp. Twice his prodigious left leg buried the ball behind Stefan Frei.”

April 15, 2010 Toronto FC 2 – 1 Philadelphia Union

PSP Match Report Highlights

“Center backs Danny Califf and Shavar Thomas had disastrous games, as did goalkeeper Chris Seitz, and it cost the Union the match against a team they were clearly better than.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t have believe the hype about Chris Seitz. He wasn’t asked to do much tonight, and he definitely didn’t. Starting goalkeepers should stop a free kick right at them.”

TOR — Dwayne De Rosario 2 (UA) 35’
PHI — Jordan Harvey 1 (Roger Torres 2, Sébastien Le Toux 1) 46+’
TOR — Dwayne De Rosario 3 (PK) 81’

    I hope that our club doesn’t underestimate this team, because of their record. Toronto has not looked awful, in the few instances that I have seen them. They played very strong football, against LA in the Champs League. Some of their losses this year have come very late, in games that they had been competitive in. If we don’t clean up our play (understatement), we are in for trouble. We need to come back to the states with three points, nothing less. A draw, or loss, and we will have dug our hole a bit too deep.
