The Philadelphia Union took care of business at SeatGeek Stadium, defeating the Chicago Fire 3-0 thanks to a brace from Tai Baribo and a goal from Bruno Damiani. With the win, the Union swept the best-of-three series against Chicago and now have a three-week break before facing the winner of Charlotte FC vs. NYCFC. Todd and José share their thoughts on the match, discussing topics such as: Tai Baribo scoring his first goals since August 23rd and what that means for his confidence, whether the three-week break is an advantage or disadvantage, the momentum shift after Andre Blake's penalty save, and what deserves credit for the Union conceding only two goals from open play in their last six games. Blunder of the Week goes to Chicago Fire fans for stopping the game multiple times due to derogatory chants.
