The Philadelphia Union's 2025 season came to an end Sunday night, as they fell to NYCFC 1–0 thanks to Union slayer Maxi Moralez's goal. The main storyline from the match wasn't the goal itself, but the performance of former Union goalkeeper Matt Freese, who denied the Union on five separate scoring chances. Todd and José discuss the latest news, including Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner being investigated by MLS after a report published by The Guardian detailed allegations of sexist, racist, and homophobic behavior from Tanner spanning seven years during his time at the club. They also share their thoughts on the match, with topics including: how much the Union's 22-day layoff affected their performance, whether Frankie Westfield and Mikael Uhre should have started over Nathan Harriel and Tai Baribo, and how Matt Freese and Maxi Moralez continue to haunt the Union.
