Daily News | Union start difficult stretch with a 3-1 loss to Galaxy, seek to regain winning identity
With the 3-1 loss on the West Coast, the Union is now in a bit of an identity crisis, as the players haven’t showed off their defense-first transition game on a consistent basis.Forward Mikael Uhre not only scored the lone goal for the Union, but he also did so in an emphatic way that demonstrated the solution for what plagued members of the squad on several of attacking plays.
Hesitation and extra touches or passes killed the momentum of numerous Union plays. When Uhre got the chance at the top of the box, from a fortunate bounce off a Galaxy defender, he pulled the trigger immediately and brought the Union level. It didn’t last, but for a bit, the game was shaping up to be a classic.It’s one thing to point out that the Union didn’t look sharp.
As much as people will heap accolades on standout Riqui Puig, he was not one of the Galaxy five. Arguably, the consistent performances of his teammates were likely a notable reason why the creative star of a team felt empowered to try more daring passes which didn’t always come off.Joe Bendik, filling in as best as he could while Andre Blake captains Jamaica in the Gold Cup, didn’t have his best game, but the goalkeeper did make five saves.
The Union didn’t gain ground in the Eastern Conference with the loss to the Galaxy, but also didn’t suffer too badly, since Nashville SC lost to the Chicago Fire, 1-0, on a Fabian Herbers goal.Now the team will have to regroup against Nashville on Wednesday.
