A two-match winning streak (and three unbeaten) isn’t enough to get your eyes on Philadelphia Union this weekend? Don’t look away yet — we have a few more reasons to zip down to Talen Energy Stadium for this showdown between teams looking to make a postseason impact in 2019.
Youth movement
Dallas is all about their homegrowns this season and 19-year old Paxton Pomykal has been excellent since receiving the keys to the offensive car.
Meanwhile, Brenden Aaronson continues to shine for Philly in his first season as a pro. Both young players are fearless on the ball and move with the incision of seasoned vets. In back, Reggie Cannon looks to be growing into a top right back while Auston Trusty continues to develop into a shutdown defender at age 20.
Plush Phang ftw
The world’s favorite soccer playing snake is finally here in plush form! Talen is the only place to get your own plush Phang, and you won’t want to skip out on this big chance to bring Phang home. After a… somewhat successful bit of April Fool’s Day fun with the Union players, Phang is ready to take some pics with Union fans as they get their hands on his plush form for the first time.
Ray and Mark in conversation
Ray Gaddis returns for a second season of post-game conversations with fans about how his faith has guided his athletic and personal journeys through life. This year, young center back Mark McKenzie will sit with Ray as both players talk about the role of their faith and why they look to it as a foundation for success in life.
Additionally, there will be many more Faith and Family Night activities, starting with a concert prior to the match.
Everything you need to know is here!
The Union and FC Dallas face off at 7:30 p.m. ET at Talen Energy Stadium. Don’t forget to pick up your third matchday poster of the season at the 50/50 kiosks throughout the stadium!
