With a win Saturday, the Union's all-time regular-season record will go above .500 for the first time in its history.
It’s worth noting that when it comes to the Union, if you count all official competitions — such as playoff games, the U.S. Open Cup, and the Concacaf Champions League — the team is well above .500 all-time: 176 wins, 165 losses, and 106 ties. The bar was cleared last Oct. 9 in a win at FC Cincinnati.
But those other tournaments include a mix of lower-division teams and bigger foreign opponents . The regular season is where the Union most often take on teams comparatively their own size, resource-wise. So getting over the .500 mark in regular-season play will allow the Union to refute a claim that’s long been thrown at them: that they’re one of MLS’s lesser clubs.
They still aren’t a financial or trophy juggernaut, but with a victory on Saturday, the Union will officially be overall winners.
