Editor must’ve had a blast trying to find any “highlights” in this one. It was such a brutal, gruesome game to watch as a supporter of either side. This match made me realize why I always see comments like “MLS has poor officiating.” Truly one of the lowest quality displays of football I’ve seen in a long time, I say this as a Union fan too

[@hillaryh1047]

Nope. Fine game to watch. Gazdag was grabbed first, making the foul against Orlando. Sorry!

[@sneakyjames01]

For those that couldn't figure out why it wasn't a PK for Orlando (best guess); After the review, VAR and the Ref ruled that, even though the Orlando Player's Jersey was pulled, he pulled the Union Player's Jersey first.

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

Yup. Replay shows 25 grabs Union player's shirt with his left hand, near the defender's right shoulder. Good no call.

[@savageortiz2344]

The only reason Antonio Carlos #25 grabbed his shirt was to stay on his feet cause the other player was pulling him down

Another win for the Union I wish we could of kept a 2 goal per game strike going but we kept are winning strike going so thats all that really matters. Rough calls in this one I most say I know Orlando fans are hurting right now. You come to are house next meeting Sep. 10th see you then. I hope burk #19 is OK he didn't look great getting back up of the pitch at all. Next game Houston at home should be a good one would like see use get back to are 2 goals per game form.

Should I Continue? This team may not have understood, if it wants to win it has to score goals and above all it has to play much more offensively. But as it seems, not everyone understands it ....

I've seen bad calls in the past. But this is just ridiculous. I've seen this plenty of times with Orlando and I can't make sense of some of these calls. The only time I've ever seen a referee ever seem to be favoring Orlando was in the Open Cup. The rest are neutral or biased against City. I'm pretty sure MLS has something against Orlando City, and I'm not sure why

Esse Ruan tava dormindo ou oque pqp o maluco em vez de marcar o Gazdzag deixou o cara sozinho e ele fez o gol

[@ccreasman]

I was at the match. Horrible. Union was the superior team, but the ref was horrible (pretty normal for MLS). Missed fouls for both sides, let the match run ragged. Then, the Union became the worst example of teams falling down and laying on the pitch. I thought that was the most sad because, again, they were the superior team and should have actually tried to score again, but instead spent the last 30 minutes on the pitch. The 9 at the end needed to be about 15 minutes to make up for how often Philly laid down. The failure of VAR, especially that they league continues to let the Ref on the pitch make the final decision (unlike how NFL and MLB correctly do it), showed up again. Orlando certainly deserved the penalty, and any Union fan who reversed the experience (Orlando grabbed their guy) would also demand the pk. Orlando looked pitiful and didn’t deserve the win or the draw, but a foul is a foul. Fairly normal pitiful experience for an MLS match.

[@ethanjaworski743]

I thought it was a pen but the Orlando guy also grabbed his shirt so, no it shouldn’t. Also the Union player had a head injury and may be out for months with a concussion

[@mikebevacqua1517]

I agree with some of what you said, but our number 9 Burke was legit injured. Head injuries can sometimes be like that.

[@tjfogs46]

Yeah how dare a guy go down with a head injury after he's been hit in the head

[@ccreasman]

@@mikebevacqua1517 I agree, a guy with a head injury should go down, as did the Orlando player when it happened. But if you watched, you know the Union players went down several more times in a row from about the 60 minute mark. Look, Orlando does the same thing, and I hate that too. Last night was more annoying because clearly Union was the better team, and had they just exerted themselves a bit more in the early part of the second half, they should have been up 2 or 3, and not needing to really time waste. It’s one of the things about soccer that I really detest.

[@sethantoniorodriguez9190]

Bro tesho is literally not good. Pareja is my boy, but his OBSESSION WITH TESHO BROOO💀, it’s so embarrassing!! Us Orlando fans already KNOW that once we see him coming off the bench we we’re losing, means that we are simply losing and we have to accept it. He does nothing, every single game and the only thing he’s somewhat good at, is being a player that somewhat takes markers away from other attackers. Even then, he’s still horrible at everything he does. This dude is not even good enough for the USL bro. It’s really embarrassing how much pareja wants to force using him, when he just isn’t good.
