The Union are unbeaten in six straight matches against San Jose (W3 D3) dating back to 2014. The six-match run equals Philadelphia’s longest current regular season unbeaten run against any opponent (6 straight vs. Cincinnati).
The Union have four points through two matches this season, equaling the second-best start in club history (6 points in 2011). Philadelphia has never had more than 6 points through three matches of a season in the club’s MLS history (6 points in 2011, 2013, 2016).
San Jose came from 3-1 down in the final 10 minutes to draw with the Crew on Saturday. The Earthquakes have collected eight points (W2 D2) in matches in which they trailed by two goals under Matías Almeyda, more than any other team since he took over in 2019.
Dániel Gazdag scored the winning goal for the Union against Montreal on Saturday, his fifth goal in his last 10 appearances for Philadelphia (including playoffs). Gazdag scored just one goal in his first 18 MLS appearances after debuting with Philadelphia in May 2021.
Francisco Calvo scored two headed goals for San Jose, including the equalizer at 90’+6 on Saturday against the Crew. It was the first time an Earthquakes player scored two headed goals in a single match since Steven Lenhart against Real Salt Lake in September 2013.
