  • Philadelphia again left Subaru Park without a home league win in 2026, extending a home drought that has defined their slow start.
  • Columbus arrived on a three-game MLS losing run with nine goals conceded across those defeats, highlighting a recent defensive slide.
  • AndrĂ© Blake returned in goal for the Union and brought leadership to a back line hit by injuries and frequent changes.
