Daily News | Union out-play LAFC in Champions League opener, but give up late goal in 1-1 tie
Union striker Mikael Uhre tries to hold off Los Angeles FC defender Jesús Murillo while running toward goalkeeper John McCarthy during the first half.It wasn’t the kind of high-scoring free-for-all that the Union and Los Angeles FC have played often in recent years, but it was another impressive performance by the Union against one of MLS’s biggest and most star-studded teams.
A better highlight came a moment earlier, when Jakob Glesnes crossed over LAFC star striker Dénis Bouanga and drew a big roar from the crowd.Bouanga had LAFC’s best early chance when he got loose on the left side in the 24th minute and shot well wide of the far post. Los Angeles manager Steve Cherundolo made the game’s first substitution, sending in Mateusz Bogusz, a 21-year-old Polish midfielder formerly of England’s Leeds United, for Opoku at halftime.
