Live From Philadelphia It's Saturday Night MLS: Colorado Rapid vs. Philadelphia Union Recap

Colorado Rapids 3 - 3 Philadelphia Union  Tonight's MLS schedule had this match flying under the radar.  However, what at face value seemed a dull fixture ended up being one the best matches of the night.   1st Half This fixture featured MLS veteran Conor Casey playing his old club, which Casey tallied 50 goals for over his 5 year stay.  The match began slow with Colorado forward Deshorn Brown missing a chance in the 6th minute. However, the match picked up in the 16th minute when Casey showed his ability to out wit his ex-club's central defender Shane O'Neill.  A beautifully weighted ball from the right wing found Casey who used his trademark strength to out muscle O'Neill and neatly tuck away his shot to put the Union up 1-0. The action continued with Colorado answering in the 18th minute off the left foot of Dillon Serna. Serna out maneuvered two Union defenders and fired home in world class fashion to equalize at 1-1.   Fast forward to the 31st m
