A beautiful opener from Sebastien Le Toux was not enough as the Union dropped two points at home to Toronto. The silver lining is that the Union are in the playoffs.
A win and they are in: The Union welcome Toronto to town with a playoff spot in their sights.
Not so long ago, the Union were struggling to end an eight game unbeaten streak. On Saturday they could secure a playoff berth and extend their unbeaten streak to eight. Where have the goals come from during the streak?
The Union midfield has been criticized this season. You may be surprised how they do by the numbers, especially compared to LA Galaxy, this season’s top team in MLS.
Much has changed in the 18 months since the Union’s first game in Seattle in 2010 and Saturday’s win. What changed between the win and the draw against Chivas USA six days?
Yeah, that was a big win against Seattle. So what? It’s not as big a match as the next one, which has “trap game” written all over it. Here’s some perspective on both games.
A statement performance in Seattle put the Union on the verge of a playoff berth and back in first place. There is only one question left to answer.
Freddy Adu got his second and Brian Carroll his first as the Union outplayed and dispatched Seattle and took over first place in the east.
Seattle still has something to play for as they welcome the Union to CenturyLink for a possible MLS Cup final preview. Yeah we said it! UPDATE: Now with Injury Report!
