Union aim to extend unbeaten run, take on Crew
The undermanned Philadelphia Union aim to extend their franchise-record MLS unbeaten streak to 12 matches on Sunday night when they visit the Columbus Crew. HT Image Bruno Damiani's 10th-minute penalty kick proved just enough as the Union recorded a 1-0 road victory over the Chicago Fire on Wednesday. Philadelphia has strengthened its position atop the MLS table by virtue of its 8-0-3 mark over the last 11 matches. Damiani, who joined the Union for a club-record fee in February, is expected to contribute given that striker Tai Baribo is nursing a calf injury. Baribo leads the Union with 13 goals, including one in his club's 2-2 draw against Columbus on May 10. In addition to Baribo, Quinn Sullivan, Nathan Harriel and Jakob Glesnes will be out for the Union on Sunday. Sullivan and Harriel will be competing with the U.S. men's national team in the Gold Cup, while Glesnes will serve a one- match suspension for yellow card accumulation. Frankie Westfield is dealing with an ankle injury and Olivier Mbaizo and Mikael Uhre have adductor injuries and are expected to sit out on Sunday. "We don't have almost half the squad," midfielder Jovan Lukic said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. "But I think everybody is doing an amazing job. Everybody is ready for these kinds of moments, even the guys who don't have too minutes this season." Columbus' Jacen Russell-Rowe scored two of his team's three first-half goals in a 3-1 home victory over the Atlanta United on Wednesday. Rowe scored in the 32nd and 42nd minutes while making his first start for the Crew , who have won two in a row overall and sport a 6-1-4 record at home. "If you remember the games that we played, we had many chances at certain moments and we score," Columbus coach Wilfried Nancy said. "The game is about cycles. Sometimes we cannot explain. Sometimes we can struggle to score an easy tap-in, and sometimes we can score really complex goals. This is football. "The most important for me is to be able to attack the box as many as possible. The fact that we're able to do that, I'm confident for the rest." Columbus' Daniel Gazdag, however, remains in search of his first goal since being acquired in April. He is the Union's all-time leading goal scorer. Field Level Media This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Chicago Fire fall 1-0 at home to MLS-leading Philadelphia Union
Bruno Damiani converted from the penalty spot in the 10th minute and 19-year-old goalkeeper Andrew Rick had his fourth shutout of the season to help the Philadelphia Union beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on Wednesday night at Soldier Field. Philadelphia (12-3-4), the MLS points leader with 40, is unbeaten in 11 straight with eight wins. Jakob Glesnes blocked a shot by the Fire's Brian Gutiérrez in the third minute of stoppage time to preserve the win. The Fire (7-7-4) had 57% possession and outshot the Union 15-11 but managed just two shots on goal. Jeffrey Gal has allowed at least one goal in each of his four starts this season for the Fire. Chris Brady, the Fire's regular goalkeeper, is with the U.S. men's national team. Edward Davis, a 19-year-old forward, made his MLS debut when he subbed on for the Union in place of Damiani in the 88th minute.
