The Union conceded too much possession and territory in the first half, and it ultimately cost them when they ran out of gas against San Jose. PSP has postgame analysis and player ratings, as well as video of post game press conference and interviews with the players.
Steven Lenhart’s stoppage time goal broke Union hearts, and the 2-1 victory kept the Western Conference leading San Jose Earthquakes rolling in 2012. PSP has a match report and quotes from both teams.
A win’s a win for the Union who will be glad to bring three points back from the west coast despite a less than stellar performance. Suspensions to Gabriel Farfan and Keon Daniel will hurt the team in the short term, though.
Chivas USA cannot win at home and the Union are barely scoring. PSP proposes only one change as the side looks to grow on a strong performance against Columbus.
Solid throughout, the Union deserved their victory. But with only three goals from five matches, changes need to be made up top. Includes video interviews with Sheanon Williams, Raymon Gaddis, Gabriel Farfan, Brian Carroll.
One goal was just enough for the Union as they scraped out their first victory of 2012.
On the plus side, the defense was much improved for the Union. The offense, however, was not.
In drawing 0-0 with Vancouver Whitecaps, the Union earned their first point of the 2012 campaign. But a lack of sharpness in front of goal kept them from securing all three points.
It was another case of new formation, new tactics, same result for the slumping Union, who return home to face the Le Toux-led Whitecaps without a point to their name after three matches.
