Historical Moments: 2010: After dropping their first game to Seattle, the Union would christen their new home, PPL Park in Chester with a 3-2 win over DC United in the first MLS game ever played in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That would be the lone bright spot for coach Peter Nowak and his team as they would finish up their inaugural year with an expansion-like seventh-place record of 8-15-7. 2011: The Union would start off their second MLS season respectably, winning four of their first six games as Sebastien Le Toux continued to make a name for himself. His 11 goals helped the Union through a tough stretch during the summer where the club went winless in seven matches. After that, three wins in their last seven propelled them into their first playoffs with a record of 11-8-15, good for third place in the East. It turned out to be a learning experience for the Union as they were beaten 3-1 on aggregate by the Houston Dynamo. |
