A sold-out crowd, a super-sub and a stellar second half was enough to give the Union the energy to make the epic come back to defeat the northern rivals, New York Red Bulls, 3-2 in Chester. It was a crazy game to say the least and gave fans all the reasons to post their reactions. Let’s relive that 3-2 victory by seeing how you reacted throughout the game.
This Santos fellow on #doop is fast and Kyle Duncan is not fast enough to mark him. Prayers up here 🙏

What a nice run for Royer. Should have gone near post. Too telegraphed. Great save by Blake. #PHIvRBNY #MLS

I literally just said to watch out for Ilsinho. He's the exact player this team collapses to. #RBNY #PHIvRBNY #MLS

60' MONTEIRO!!!! GOAL UNION!!! Skillsinho goes around his defender like he isn't there and gets off a perfect cross to Monteiro who buries it. 2-1 red bulls still leading #DOOP #PHIvRBNY

60 And the Union finally pull one back. Jamiro Monteiro slams it home after a brilliant hustling play by Ilsinho down the near side #PHIvRBNY

61' Ilsinho ties the game with a quite exceptional individual effort. Wow. #PHIvRBNY
— Jonathan Tannenwald (@thegoalkeeper) June 9, 2019
61 And now it's Ilsinho who is taking down #RBNY all by himself. He just went thru two defenders and his shot deflects off a third defender and past Robles. We are all level at 2 a piece. #PHIvRBNY

This will forever be known as "The Ilsinho Game"#PHIvRBNY
Philadelphia Union with the greatest comeback in football history! @MLS #PHIvRBNY
— Auris (@G21Loading) June 9, 2019
And the Union go into the Gold Cup break officially both first place in the East and second overall, the only team within touching distance of LAFC. They're on pace for a 62-point season, and powered through this recent slump with two huge wins. #PHIvRBNY
