Danley Jean-Jacques starts as Philadelphia Union beat NYRB 3-1

Danley Jean-Jacques leads today's brief with the most concrete recent club action in the cycle. The Philadelphia Union midfielder started and completed their MLS fixture on 22 July, a 3-1 home win over New York Red Bulls — Union's most emphatic recent league result. Jean-Jacques recorded three shots in the match, underlining an attacking contribution from deep, though he did not get on the scoresheet (ESPN). The result will have been a welcome return to winning ways for the Union as they work through the back half of the MLS regular season.

Ricardo Adé has been in consistent action for LDU Quito in the Ecuadorian LigaPro, starting their last four fixtures through 22 July, including a 1-1 draw at Manta on 22 July and a 1-0 defeat on 18 July (ESPN).
