Union Faces Cruz Azul in Leagues Cup Match

The Union is set to play against the Mexican team Cruz Azul on Thursday night at Subaru Park, as part of the Leagues Cup tournament. This competition, which involves teams from Major League Soccer and Liga MX, is held entirely in the United States at MLS venues.

Recently, Cruz Azul shared an image of their flag on the Rocky statue in Philadelphia, a gesture that has drawn attention. This follows a similar incident where Ecuador fans displayed their colors on the statue before experiencing a disappointing World Cup performance.

While the authenticity of Cruz Azul's image on the statue remains uncertain, it adds to the list of teams that have faced misfortune after such displays. The Union's match against Cruz Azul is anticipated amid the ongoing tournament.
