For the third straight game, it was a set piece that would provide the goal. Philadelphia Union would take the lead in the 39th minute through Gazdag. Facundo Torres found himself in acres of space on the right side, but with just Andre Blake to beat, the winger curled his effort wide of the left post. The opening chance of the match came to Orlando in the 28th minute. Jack McGlynn kept his place in the starting lineup, moving into the right side of midfield for the suspended Alejandro Bedoya. Mikkel Uhre partnered Julian Carranza up top as the Union returned to a two striker set with Paxten Aaronson moving to the bench. Jack Elliott returned from injury to take his place in the back line, while Olivier Mbaizo was preferred to Nathan Harriel. Jim Curtin reverted to his preferred 4-4-2 and made three changes to the team that defeated New England last weekend. And then it was Gazdag himself who escaped a VAR review late in stoppage time when he was found not guilty of a foul in the Philadelphia box. Gazdag was adjudged to be onside when he flicked on Jakob Glesnes’ header just before halftime. Daniel Gazdag scored the only goal of the game as VAR was on the Philadelphia Union’s side as they defeated Orlando City 1-0 on Saturday evening in Florida.
