The Philadelphia Union took nine months to deliver on a preseason promise.

Tactical flexibility was one of the first buzzworthy sayings thrown out at the start of the 2023 season.

Union manager Jim Curtin nailed all of his tactical tweaks and use the correct personnel off the bench to go for the win and secure the 2-0 series victory.

“Tonight was about a group of guys that had their backs against the wall, missing a lot of top players in the group and a group that just refused to lose,” Curtin said.
