href="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/02/26/carnell-makes-statement-union/">Philadelphia Union</a> went down to Orlando and picked up a convincing 4-2 win to open the 2025 MLS campaign. Tai Baribo scored a brace, while Daniel Gazdag and Mikael Uhre scored the other two on the night. It was exactly what you wanted to see out of a Union side who struggled to find proper form last year, and will definitely be a match that gets the supporters excited.

Tai Baribo</h3> <p>When Julian Carranza left for Feyenoord last summer, the Union were looking for the player who would fill the role of their goal-scoring Argentine, and Tai Baribo has done exactly that since joining the Starting XI. The Israeli man scored 9 goals in <a href="https://www.orlandocitysc.com/news/orlando-city-starting-xi-the-lions-lineup-and-bench-as-they-host-the-philadelphia-union" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> play last season and started off on the right foot this year with a brace on the road.

The ball bounced right to the German who sent a one-time pass in front of the net, which Tai Baribo pounced on to <a href="https://themaneland.com/2025/02/24/orlando-city-vs-philadelphia-union-player-grades-and-man-of-the-match-18/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">equalize</a> the score at 1-1. It was a brilliant play by the Union, who showed resilience in getting back into the match after conceding early on. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MLS/status/1893485716597776399 </div></figure> <p>Baribo’s second goal of the night would come in the 64th minute, as the striker received a ball from Frankie Westfield, and proceeded to slot it home. Throughout the entire night, the Union capitalized on mistakes that <a href="https://www.philadelphiaunion.com/news/philadelphia-union-announces-multi-year-partnership-pennsylvania-dairy-farmers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orlando City</a> made, and this was yet another example of it. The Union’s new number nine had a phenomenal first outing of the season, and looks to continue to be the main guy for scoring goals for the club.</p><div class="ad-container card-ad-container"> <div class="responsive-ad">  <div id='psn_content_responsive_1'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('psn_content_responsive_1'); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="3000" height="2000" src="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=1200,800" alt="Union" class="wp-image-119547" srcset="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg 3000w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=700,467 700w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=384,256 384w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=1600,1067 1600w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-108.jpg?resize=50,33 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Credit: Philadelphia Union</figcaption></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2.

Westfield was making his first career start with the first team and also getting his first career minutes. The 19-year-old was being thrown into a big spot by Bradley <a href="https://themaneland.com/2025/02/24/orlando-city-vs-philadelphia-union-photo-gallery-4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carnell</a>, and he responded in a big way. Westfield was a threat on both the attack and in defense, contributing in all types of ways.</p> <p>He got his first career assist on Tai Baribo’s second goal, and also contributed a total of eight passes into the final third of the pitch. Defensively, Westfield had four clearances and five ball recoveries on the night, showing the type of impact that he can have for this <a href="https://phillysoccerpage.net/2025/02/15/philadelphia-union/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squad</a>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-philly-sports-network wp-block-embed-philly-sports-network"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="CPPIhW9zT2"><a href="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/02/26/carnell-makes-statement-union/">Bradley Carnell makes first statement as Union head coach in 4-2 win in opening game</a></blockquote><iframe loading="lazy" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;" title="“Bradley Carnell makes first statement as Union head coach in 4-2 win in opening game” — Philly Sports Network" src="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/02/26/carnell-makes-statement-union/embed/#?secret=8eOjT6t34K#?secret=CPPIhW9zT2" data-secret="CPPIhW9zT2" width="500" height="282" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </div></figure> <p>The Union’s performance last Saturday night was all-around good, showing that they were a team that cannot be slept on during this campaign. They adapted well to Bradley Carnell’s tactics, and it seems to be paying off so far. Their next match will be the home opener on Saturday, March 1st, as FC Cincinnati comes into town. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="3000" height="2000" src="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=1200,800" alt="Union" class="wp-image-119540" srcset="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg 3000w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=700,467 700w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=384,256 384w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=1600,1067 1600w, https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2-22atORL-61.jpg?resize=50,33 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Credit: Philadelphia Union</figcaption></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Be sure to return to Philly Sports Network for more Philadelphia Union and other soccer content!</strong></h3> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Follow our Union team on Twitter:</strong></h3> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Tim_Lovenguth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Lovenguth</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Jimmyking35" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy King</a> | <a href="https://x.com/PaulFFootball" target="_blank">Paul Frenzel<br></a><a href="https://x.com/nate_tennesen" target="_blank">Nate Tennesen</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/erfrysin13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Frysinger<br></a><a href="https://twitter.com/steveoo242?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Beavon</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/LiamJenkinsPSN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liam Jenkins</a></p> <p>Doop on Union fans!</p> <p>Featured Image Credit: Philadelphia Union</p> </div> <div class="article-footer"> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div> <div class="author-meta"> <h3 class="about-the-author">About the Author</h3> <div class="meta-box author-meta-box"> <img alt='' src='https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0808.heic?w=192&h=192&crop=1' srcset='https://phillysportsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0808.heic?w=192&h=192&crop=1 2x' class='avatar avatar-128 photo' height='128' width='128' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <div class="metadata author-metadata"> <h4 class="meta-name author-name"><a href="https://phillysportsnetwork.com/author/paulfrenzel/">Paul Frenzel</a></h4> <p>Paul Frenzel is a journalist for Philly Sports Network covering the Philadelphia Union.
