Bradley Carnell’s Philadelphia Union remain at the foot of the MLS table after a heartbreaking defeat to Orlando City, while other South African players see mixed results.
There was another defeat for South African coach Bradley Carnell as his Philadelphia Union side remain rooted to the bottom of the Major League Soccer standings in stark contrast to last year when they finished the regular season in top place.. Philadelphia lost 4-3 away at Orlando City and have now lost nine of their 13 league fixtures this season, winning only once.. Olwethu Makhanya was in defence as Union fought from two goals down
to be 3-3 with 10 minutes to go, only to give away a last-minute winner to their hosts.. Mbekezeli Mbokazi returned to the line-up at Chicago Fire, and Puso Dithejane came on as a second half substitute, as they ended a three-match losing streak by winning 3-1 away at DC United.. Mbokazi was an unused substitute last weekend when Chicago lost at home to New York Red Bull but played a full 90 minutes in
Wednesday’s win.. Dithejane was on for a second successive game as he begins to get more game time.. Bongokuhle Hlongwane was also a second half substitute as his Minnesota United lost at home to Colorado Rapids.. All MLS teams are back in action at the weekend.
