  "account": "The Philadelphia Union have been riding a historic wave in Major League Soccer, with their recent performance making them one of the top teams in the league. After a recent victory over Orlando City, the Union have moved within four points of the top-four spot in the Eastern Conference. Their outstanding start is highlighted by their impressive goal tally, with Milan Iloski netting a hat-trick - his second of the season - as the Union secured a 4-0 win.\n\nThis remarkable run has seen the Union amass 32 points from their last 12 matches, a feat that currently stands as the most points accumulated in any 12-game span in MLS history. The Seattle Sounders were the last team to achieve this milestone back in 2018. The Union's season was not without its challenges, as they started off with poor form.
