Sunday afternoon Philadelphia Union visit went as advertised A contest between two teams that shone in points in the season Philadelphia entered MAPFRE Stadium as current top team in the league and was one victory away from winning the supporters’ shield Although Columbus no longer achieved the desired level of performance as in Phase 1 and at the start of this current Phase 2 of matches, the Black & Gold has shown some insight on this side.

Being in good health was an important part of the winning formula The crew won 2-1 in a match where the team had all the starting players available, minus Vito Wormgoor whose ankle injury caused it. barred since the first MLS game is Back Tournament, in July Oddly enough, this was the last Union visit where Columbus last saw Gyasi Zardes, Darlington Nagbe and Lucas Zelarayán in the starting 11.

There’s not much time to celebrate a win of this magnitude with the crew heading to Orlando City for a Wednesday night game. Both teams are almost tied in the standings, both have 38 points, an average of 181 points per game and a goal differential of over-15

One glaring area in the crew’s statistics is that the team has not won a single road game outside of the MLS comeback tournament; lose four and draw five The team will look to repeat those Orlando victories, but at Exploria Stadium instead of Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex

Orlando had a solid October, with two wins, three draws and one loss The Lions’ November began with an away victory against the Montreal Impact on Sunday night

We want you to choose who should go first. Do you see Nagbe and Zelarayan hitting the road again and three days after going through 90 full minutes? With Josh Williams’ suspension over, is he making a comeback? Will Derrick Etienne Jr return to a winger position or does Caleb Porter place Luis Diaz, Youness Mokhtar or Emmanuel Boateng in this role?

Let us know and we’ll share your choices, and those of a Massive Report contributor, in the next episode of Fan XI
