Tai Baribo collected his second hat trick in so many games to lead the Philadelphia Union to a 4-1 win against FC Cincinnati at her home start of 2025.

Baribo headed Philly's intensive high press and scored two in the 30 -minute brand, his first came only 6 minutes after the game.

How the match unfolds

Andre Blake started on the net, and in front of him the backline was 19-year-old as a 19-year-old Frankie Westfield and Kai Wagner as an outer back, and combine Makhanya and Jakob Glesnes in the center.

Jovan Lukic, Danley Jean Jacques, Quinn Sullivan and Daniel Gazdag formed the midfield, and Mikael Watch and Tai Baribo started the top.

Minutes in the minutes, Baribo used a template from Kai Wagner to start the home campaign with a doop. The union stopped the pace and energy, but only in the 30th minute they found the network again – of course from Baribo. He made it almost three minutes later, but his efforts were held.

In the second half, the union seemed ready to continue its relentless attack, and for the second time in his career, Baribo found the back of the network for a third goal of the game. The play started with a lead pass from Danley Jean Jacques over three Cincinnati players and found that Baribo was going to the net. For the first time he tried to bring the ball to Gazdag in front of the net, but Deandre Yedlin made the stop in front of the net. Gazdag quickly recovered the ball and sent it to two Cincinnati defenders and Celentano after a Barbo finish.

New Cincinnati, who wanted to sign Evander, turned a one-man goal when he fell to the left and a deep shot on Union captain, captain Blake, a deep shot on a deep shot that did not want to be left out. The two hit demonstrations of the Union were almost circumcised almost 20 minutes later with a wild episode of events that started with a stop from Blake. The ball pushed himself free from Blake and was served on a silver plate at the feet of Kévin Denky, who stormed his shot in frenzy and fell into his left post. Evander came for the support, but was ultimately rejected by Sliding Block with the kind permission of Glesnes.

While a miraculous rescue would have been a perfect end of the night, Bruno Damiani's new signing had other ideas. After Damiani had given his club debut in the 69th minute, he remembered with a late goal to score two goals in which the union scored four goals.

In a season ticket holder of the union, you can recognize them in Subaru Park as the super loud Italian girl, whose screams the children accidentally scream in section 101.
