Philadelphia Union at Austin FC Recap<\/p>\n

Despite three matches in a week for Ryan Richter\u2019s side, Union\u2019s interim Head Coach elected to keep the same starting XI that took the field Wednesday night against Miami<\/a>, including Cavan Sullivan, whose red card for his scuffle with Yannick Bright was rescinded after an appeal and review by an independent panel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And as fate would have it, young Cavan Sullivan would be the one to put Union ahead early in the game from a set piece opportunity in the 18th minute. Milan Iloski sent a ball towards the back post for right back Nate Harriel, who headed it back across goal where Cavan Sullivan was waiting to put the ball in the net for a 1-0 lead on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The goal was Cavan Sullivan\u2019s 2nd of the MLS<\/a> season, and Nate Harriel\u2019s fourth assist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite Cavan Sullivan\u2019s goal giving the Union early momentum, Philadelphia\u2019s road lead was short-lived as Austin FC\u2019s Brendan Hines-Ike would draw the game level just 4 minutes later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joseph Rosales\u2019 corner into the box drew Andre Blake off his line with hesitation, which allowed Hines-Ike, who had broken free from Jesus Bueno\u2019s coverage, to find the ball at the back post and head it home to level the game in the 22nd minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the 70th minute, Austin\u2019s Ervin Torres received a ball sent over the top at the back post in a dangerous position, but his left-footed shot towards the near corner was palmed out for a corner by Andre Blake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the 83rd minute, Neil Pierre rescued Andre Blake from a howler as a dribbler squeaked between Blake\u2019s legs and sat inside the six-yard box with the net wide open, but Pierre was first to the loose ball and huffed it to safety\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, in the 94th minute, Andre Blake was called upon once again as Myrto Uzuni was sent on a breakaway with a chance to win the game, but Andre Blake made a diving save on Uzuni\u2019s shot to seal the 1-1 draw on the road for the Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 4 wins and 2 draws in MLS play for the Blue and Gold since Interim Head Coach Ryan Richter took charge following Bradley Carnell\u2019s departure. Union currently sit just 3 points off the final playoff spot<\/a> after going into the World Cup break 11 points back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DOOP will head to New Jersey on Saturday to take on the Red Bulls in an Eastern Conference clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
