😔 The wait for a first MLS Cup continues for the Philadelphia Union, who came up short against the Los Angeles Football Club and lost on penalties after an exhilarating affair at the Banc of California stadium.
The Union then stared defeat in the face when they let themselves down with some poor marking on a corner kick in the 83rd minute, with a wide-open Jesús Murillo nodding a powerful header past Blake.
But Philadelphia went right back up the pitch after the restart, taking advantage of LAFC’s own poor marking as unmarked center-back Jack Elliot powered home his own header past Crépeau in the 85th minute.Crépeau was forced to come off in the 109th minute when the video assistant referee intervened after Crépeau came out of his box and took out Cory Burke in a one-on-one situation.
Blake saved Cristian Tello’s shot to give his team the advantage, but Gazdag slipped on his effort immediately afterward. John McCarthy, LAFC’s substitute goalkeeper, then became the hero, saving twice as his teammates converted their efforts and sunk the Union.
