Philadelphia Union edged out Seattle Sounders FC 1-0 in a tight MLS encounter. The decisive moment came just after the half-hour mark, with Milan Iloski capitalising on a fine assist from Francis Westfield.
The only goal arrived in the 31st minute. Iloski finished well to give the hosts the lead, a lead they would protect for the remaining hour. Hassani Dotson was booked early on for Seattle in the 12th minute, but the away side could not find a way back.
Despite having just 44% of the ball, Philadelphia created the better chances. They had 14 shots to Seattle's 7, with 4 on target compared to Seattle's 1, and an expected goals figure of 1.29 against 0.36. Union keeper only needed to make one save as the Sounders rarely threatened.
