Philadelphia Union forward Tai Baribo has been named to MLSSoccer.com's Team of the Matchday for Matchday 1 after a standout performance in the season opener. The recognition came on Monday afternoon following his two-goal contribution to the Union's 4-2 victory over Orlando City SC.

The Israeli forward played a crucial role in securing the win under new Head Coach Bradley Carnell. Baribo scored his first goal in the 24th minute, equalizing the match with a finish from Kai Wagner's pass at the near post. He added his second goal of the season just after the hour mark, capitalizing on a strong run set up by homegrown player Frankie Westfield.

The Philadelphia Union will begin their 2025 home games this weekend against FC Cincinnati. The match is scheduled for 7:30 PM at Subaru Park, and tickets are available for purchase.
