Damiani’s Decisive Strike Gives Union 1–0 Win Over New England
CHESTER, PA — On September 20, 2025, the Philadelphia Union continued their strong run toward Supporters’ Shield honors with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over the New England Revolution at Subaru Park in an important late-season MLS clash.
With defenses dominating in the first half, the deadlock finally broke in the 71st minute. Forward Bruno Damiani latched onto a threaded through ball from Milan Iloski and calmly finished from the top of the box, giving the Union the lone goal of the contest and his sixth of the season.
Philadelphia’s back line supported the narrow lead with disciplined defending, and veteran goalkeeper Andre Blake made a key stop deep into stoppage time to preserve the shutout — his seventh clean sheet of the campaign.
The Revolution pushed for an equalizer but ultimately came up short. New England’s afternoon was further complicated when Peyton Miller received a straight red card in the 75th minute for an off-the-ball incident, reducing the visitors to ten men and tilting momentum toward the home side.
