The Fire go to Philadelphia — the team that won the Supporters Shield last year and ended their season — and walk away with 3 points after a gritty team effort as they get their first win away win versus the Union since 2013.

John and Tim break down a strong team performance where Hugo Cuypers bags his fourth goal in as many appearances and Bamba bags another. They talk about Viktor Radojeviç's first serious minutes with the Fire and the maturation of the squad in a game where Radojević, along with teammates like Djé D'Avilla and Mobkezeli Mobkazi, matched the physicality of the Philadelphia Union and where the midfield shows that it is rolling into form.
