Philadelphia Union earned its first win of the 2026 season with a 2-1 comeback victory against CF Montréal at Stade Saputo on April 11.

The result marks an important milestone for Philadelphia, which had been searching for three points in the early part of the Major League Soccer campaign. The team rallied after conceding an opening goal to Iván Jaime, leveling the score in the second half before securing all three points.

Milan Iloski set up Japhet Sery Larsen for his debut goal with a header that tied the match. Later, Jesús Bueno scored in the 77th minute to give Philadelphia its first lead and ultimately secure the win. Head Coach Bradley Carnell introduced several lineup changes, including Bender Bender’s first start of the year and strategic substitutions that helped turn around the game.

The club features a roster of professional players on its main team, according to the official website. Philadelphia Union has previously achieved recognition by winning the Supporters’ Shield in 2020 for best regular-season performance in Major League Soccer, as reported by their official website.

Home matches are played at Subaru Park, a soccer-specific stadium located on a waterfront site in Chester. The team’s facilities also include a training center and multiple practice fields according to their official website. As part of Major League Soccer, Philadelphia Union focuses on representing its city through elite competition while supporting fan involvement and community programs according to their official website.

Looking ahead, Philadelphia Union will return home to Subaru Park next weekend for a rivalry match against D.C United.
