Two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference go head-to-head in an afternoon match in early spring -- and then you get 90 more minutes of soccer for no extra charge! Not a bad Saturday at all, Union fans.
First Montreal Impact, fresh off a 1-0 win over Columbus Crew and two suffocating 0-0 road draws with NYCFC and DC United, enter Talen Energy Stadium with eyes on the top of the east. If DC United and Columbus falter this weekend, the Impact could be tied atop the conference with a win. Ever since giving up seven goals to Sporting KC, Montreal has turtled to great effect on the road and Philly will need to punch through early to do damage against Remi Garde's side.
And after the Union break down the Impact, fans can stick around to see Bethlehem Steel take on Indy Eleven in the second half of a Saturday afternoon double-header. That match begins at 4 p.m. and is entirely free to anyone that came to see the Union. Steel have been a thrilling side to watch this year so hang out and see the next wave of Union talent in action.
Parley and Game of Thrones
The Union's 2019 Parley jersey will be available tonight at the Launch Event at Bloomingdale's in King of Prussia mall beginning at 6pm. But after that you'll have to get down to Talen Energy Stadium early on Saturday to get one before they inevitably sell out. This jersey was one of the fastest movers at the MLS store when it was released, and this is the only time it will be released.
Fans can also celebrate the return of
midfielder Brenden Aaronson's show Game of Thrones
by nabbing a House Union GoT-shirt at the Union Shop on gameday. If you got the Game of Thrones matchday poster on April 6, you'll want to complement it with this smooth shirt.
Kids Day
Saturday's match is an all-day event. Before kickoff at 1pm, you can show up early to join in with a Kids Day egg hunt and a Dress Like Phang concert. Plus there will be a Kids Day Parade around the pitch following the final whistle of the Union match!
