Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images The undermanned Philadelphia Union aim to extend their franchise-record MLS unbeaten streak to 12 matches on Sunday night when they visit the Columbus Crew.
Bruno Damiani’s 10th-minute penalty kick proved just enough as the Union (12-3-4, 40 points) recorded a 1-0 road victory over the Chicago Fire on Wednesday. Philadelphia has strengthened its position atop the MLS table by virtue of its 8-0-3 mark over the last 11 matches.
Damiani, who joined the Union for a club-record fee in February, is expected to contribute given that striker Tai Baribo is nursing a calf injury. Baribo leads the Union with 13 goals, including one in his club’s 2-2 draw against Columbus on May 10.
In addition to Baribo, Quinn Sullivan, Nathan Harriel and Jakob Glesnes will be out for the Union on Sunday. Sullivan and Harriel will be competing with the U.S. men’s national team in the Gold Cup, while Glesnes will serve a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation.
Frankie Westfield is dealing with an ankle injury and Olivier Mbaizo and Mikael Uhre have adductor injuries and are expected to sit out on Sunday.
“We don’t have almost half the squad,” midfielder Jovan Lukic said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “But I think everybody is doing an amazing job. Everybody is ready for these kinds of moments, even the guys who don’t have too (many) minutes this season.”
Columbus’ Jacen Russell-Rowe scored two of his team’s three first-half goals in a 3-1 home victory over the Atlanta United on Wednesday.
Rowe scored in the 32nd and 42nd minutes while making his first start for the Crew (9-3-7, 34 points), who have won two in a row overall and sport a 6-1-4 record at home.
“If you remember the games that we played, we had many chances at certain moments and we (didn’t) score,” Columbus coach Wilfried Nancy said. “The game is about cycles. Sometimes we cannot explain. Sometimes we can struggle to score an easy tap-in, and sometimes we can score really complex goals. This is football.
“The most important for me is to be able to attack the box as many (times) as possible. The fact that we’re able to do that, I’m confident for the rest.”
Columbus’ Daniel Gazdag, however, remains in search of his first goal since being acquired in April. He is the Union’s all-time leading goal scorer.

Twins could mull options after Bailey Ober ties team record with 14 homers allowed in June
DETROIT — The hard hits keep coming for Bailey Ober, who surrendered a team-record 14 home runs in June, including four more on Saturday afternoon.The Detroit Tigers shredded a pitcher who’s earned a reputation as one of the Twins’ steadiest in a 10-5 contest in front of 33,780 at Comerica Park. Not only does the 14 homers allowed match Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven’s Twins club mark set in May 1986, Ober is tied with five other pitchers for the second-most homers yielded in a calendar month in the history of Major League Baseball.AdvertisementThe latest poor outing sent the Twins to their seventh straight loss with Ober on the mound and made homers from Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa moot. It’s also likely to keep Twins decision-makers busy the next few days mulling how long they can keep starting Ober, […]

O domingo começou com vitória brasileira nas quartas de final do Vivo Rio Pro, etapa de Saquarema do Circuito Mundial de Surfe. Miguel Pupo superou Yago Dora em um confronto direto e garantiu vaga entre os quatro melhores da etapa brasileira da WSL. Com notas 6,50 e 5,83, o paulista somou 12,33 e deixou o catarinense para trás com um total de 10,30. A diferença foi de 2,03 pontos. O duelo foi equilibrado, mas Pupo soube administrar a vantagem depois de encontrar sua melhor onda logo no início da disputa. Yago respondeu com notas 5,30 e 5,00, insuficientes para ameaçar de fato o adversário. Ele precisava de 7,03 pontos para virar o confronto, mas não encontrou uma onda com potencial suficiente até o fim da bateria. Com o resultado, Miguel Pupo garante vaga na semifinal e segue em busca de […]
