On first half and adjusting, coach Michael Bradley says his team tried to mix up their passes. Philly's outside backs were aggressive in first half. Thinks his team did a good job getting the game on their terms.

Coach Michael Bradley commends Philadelphia Union II, says he knew it would be a really hard game. They came out with high energy. Set pieces are a challenge against them. But after 10 minutes Bulls settled in. At halftime showed two clips, reminded guys to calm down.

New York Red Bulls II 0-1 Philadelphia Union II
