Philadelphia Union Stats & History
Philadelphia was not one of the first ten MLS markets that received a team in 1996. Since that time, there were visible efforts to bring a franchise to the city. Finally, in 2008, MLS announced that Philadelphia would be the 16th team in the league. They played their inaugural season in 2010.Â
The Union missed out on the playoffs in their first season but had an impressive 2011 campaign. They finished third in the Eastern Conference behind 11 goals from Sébastien Le Toux and made the playoffs for the first time. However, the Union lost to the Houston Dynamo over two legs in the Conference semifinals.
Philly missed out on the playoffs in each of the next four seasons. They did, however, add two U.S. Open Cup final appearances to the Philadelphia Union team stats. In 2014, they took the Seattle Sounders to extra time but fell by a 3-1 scoreline.Â
One season later, they played in another U.S. Open Cup final that went into extra time, this time vs. Sporting KC. In a heated match, where ten yellow cards were shown, Philadelphia lost in penalty kicks.
