Not much went right on Monday night for the Union in their 3-1 opening day loss in Portland. PSP offers analysis and player ratings on what was good, bad and simply not yet worked out from the season opener.
Eleven substitutions meant that it was a different Union team that faced Orlando City in the second half.
The Union opened up against Orlando City in a 4-4-2, deploying three of the offseason’s major acquisitions.
It sure wasn’t pretty on Thursday night, but there is no reason to panic as the Union head into their first playoff appearance.
After a stunner from Le Toux, the Union parked the bus a bit too early. Toronto never quite made it off of theirs and the Union were unable to find a second goal.
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.
The Union again played strong confident defense, but after Justin Mapp gave them an unlikely lead, it was only a matter of time before their bunker got busted.
An acceptable tie with many strong performances. Michael Farfan and Roger Torres led the way for a Union side that definitely has its swagger back.
Strong defense + Roger “Mighty Mouse” Torres + Le Toux can score again = VICTORY!!!!!!
Let’s hope Zac MacMath forgets the first half, Seba remembers that goalscoring feeling, and Freddy&Rog never forget how to tear apart a defense.
