Player to watch: Daniel Gazdag
Despite playing the entire 90 minutes at TQL Stadium, Daniel Gazdag couldn’t slide it past Celentano. However, the sheer fact that he was never taken off the pitch proves just how important he is to coach Jim Curtin’s match plan, which is surely a plus in favor of our top Philadelphia Union vs Mazatlan predictions.
Second player to watch: Tai Baribo
Baribo made it happen for Philly last week! He scored a second-half brace at TQL Stadium to help his team knock out Cincinnati and advance to the quarter-final showdown versus Mazatlan.
