Philadelphia’s a good team defensively. They have big boys in the center-backs. I felt I had to bring my presence on the field,” he stated.“We have to give ourselves credit. It’s not easy getting points on the road. We had a rough first half, but it wasn’t too bad since we were only down by a goal. Stay positive, because we knew we’d get our chances. We have multiple guys on this team who can score goals. It’s not three points, but it’s a point and it’s a positive result we can take back home.”Wanyama featured for 90 minutes and captained the team. Next for the team is a home match against Atlanta United on Saturday 30th April.
