Seba struts his stuff
All-time Union leading scorer and assist provider (yeah, he was good) Sebastien Le Toux is making his debut on the Union gameday broadcast on PHL17 at 7:30 p.m. ET on March 30 for this first-ever showdown with FC Cincinnati.
Le Toux will appear as an analyst during the pregame, postgame, and halftime shows, and he will make select appearances during broadcasts throughout the rest of the season. Tune in and then let Seba know you saw him!
First time in Cincy
This is the inaugural MLS season for FC Cincinnati after the former USL side made the leap in the offseason.
It’s a new team with a lot of faces that are taking their first trot through Major League Soccer, but there are also a few vets in the mix. Former Vancouver Whitecap Kendall Waston is good for an eyebrow-raising challenge or two in back, and Portland Timber alum Fanendo Adi will camp out in the box.
Outside of the field, expect the 33,800 fans at Nippert Stadium to be rowdy after their first MLS home game finished with a heavy wipeout of Portland. Good teams, good atmosphere, good time to tune in.
Marco’s back!
After a late additional match was added to Marco Fabian’s suspension for landing on Johnny Russell following the Scotsman’s late challenge, the Union playmaker is back in the mix for Saturday’s meeting with Cincy.
Expect Jim Curtin to get creative in order to keep Brenden Aaronson on the pitch alongside Fabian, and that could mean an exciting attacking lineup for an away match.
The Union and FC Cincinnati face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on PHL17 on March 30.
