Union to host viewing parties for second leg of playoffs

Chester, Pa. (November 1, 2011) – Come out and support Philadelphia Union at various viewing parties throughout the area on Thursday night as the team continues to “Doop For the Cup.”  The Union travel to Houston to take on the Dynamo in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, kicking off at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN2.  Parties at all locations begin at 8:00 p.m. and will feature free giveaways and the chance to win various autographed items throughout the evening.

The Dynamo currently lead the series, 1-0, after earning a 2-1 victory over the Union at PPL Park on Sunday, October 30.  The Union need to win by two goals in order to avoid going into overtime and to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship.  A one goal difference will force two 15-minute overtime periods, followed by penalty kicks if the aggregate score is still tied after overtime.  A Union loss or draw in Thursday’s second leg would end Philadelphia’s season.
