UNION LOOKING TO MAINTAIN STRONG FORM AGAINST COLUMBUSThe Union finished the 2017 MLS regular season a perfect 3-0-0 against Columbus, winning twice at MAPFRE Sta-dium and once at Talen Energy Stadium ... Philadelphia outscored Crew SC by a total count of 7-4 on the season ... the Union began their club history with a 3-8-1 mark in their first 12 matches against Columbus, but are 4-2-0 over their last six vs. Crew SC, including the three-match sweep last season.

PICAULT HEATING UPUnion midfielder Fafa Picault has surged into second place on the team's goal-scoring leaderboard with five on the season after tallying in Montreal on Wednesday ... Picault's five goals have all come over his last 10 matches ... the winger also added an assist in that span.

FONTANA SIGNS HOMEGROWN PLAYER CONTRACT, WILL JOIN UNION'S ACTIVE ROSTER ON JANUARY 1, 2018Earlier this week, Philadelphia Union announced that mid-fielder Anthony Fontana has signed a professional contract with the club, becoming a Homegrown Player ... a 17-year-old midfielder from Newark, Delaware, Fontana is the sixth Homegrown Player in Union history ... the signing is for Fontana to officially join the Union as of January 1, 2018, at which time he will be added to the club’s active roster.

Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin

On Wednesday's match at Montreal...

"We had turnovers three or four times in the first 15 min-utes and we wanted to get a goal early in the game but we didn’t execute. On a two on two, Fafa had one where if he cuts it back, it’s a tap in, but he just didn’t have the final execution on the final ball tonight. I thought we were in the game, pushing the tempo in the second half, but overall, we weren’t sharp enough on the ball in terms of keeping possession and Montreal punished us. Their first goal, it’s a good ball and a very good header. Second one, there’s a lucky bounce. But then the goal that Roland scored, it looked onside, as Chris Duvall keeps him onside."

On the schedule...

"We’ve been off for a while and everyone has been off. We’re thin, with the guys being away and some injuries, but they are missing guys too. We have to regroup and go against Columbus."

Philadelphia Union midfielder Fafa Picault

On how frustrating Wednesday's match at Montreal was...

"The game not so much. It’s more the result that was the most frustrating. We had good momentum and I thought we would have got a second and third goal, but unfortu-nately it went the other way."
