The Union's winless streak reached four and this was their second straight draw. Philadelphia hasn't won since a 2-1 victory July 29 over the New England Revolution.

Philadelphia played without starting defender Sheanon Williams, who was sitting out due to yellow card accumulation.

The Union fell to 7-12-4 and remained in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
