Analysis and player ratings: Union 0-2 FC Dallas
For the first time all season, the Union looked low on confidence and coordination. It was an uncharacteristically bad display after a promising start.
For the first time all season, the Union looked low on confidence and coordination. It was an uncharacteristically bad display after a promising start.
The Union’s offensive woes deepen as Sebastien Le Toux fails to record a shot for the second game in a row. The insertion of Carlos Ruiz in the second half also yielded no shots from the Union’s other $300,000 man, the one paid to score goals, not save them.
Full match report from a disappointing 2-0 loss in Dallas. Even after a free flowing start, it was a lack of finishing and creativity that again doomed the Union.
Coming off a great final thirty against the Galaxy, the Union will try to break out of their poor road form against Dallas.
Who gets the first ten rating of the season? Hint: It isn’t Landon Donovan.
Carlos Ruiz said the Union offense would make a statement against LA. It was the second half subs – Mwanga, Torres and McInerney – who made it.
Danny Mwanga was unguardable for the last 20 minutes of the match as the Union came back from an early Donovan strike to earn a point against the Galaxy.
Landon Donovan and the Galaxy are in town. David Beckham and Peter Nowak are not. PSP previews.
We look at some statistics, both from the season so far and from the last two games, to show what you already know: the Union’s offense is not getting the job done.
