Milan Iloski’s goal in his fifth consecutive game led the Philadelphia Union to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders, extending Seattle’s losing streak to five games. The Sounders have struggled, being outscored 12-2 during this period. Meanwhile, the Union, who recently ended an eight-game winless streak with a win against the New York Red Bulls, have now secured back-to-back victories for the first time this season. Iloski’s decisive goal came in the 31st minute, capitalizing on a counter-attack with a swift first-touch shot after a long pass from Frankie Westfield. This marks Iloski’s seventh goal in the last five games and his ninth for the season. Philadelphia’s goalkeeper, Andre Blake, made one save, while Seattle’s Andrew Thomas recorded five saves.
