Daily News | Dániel Gazdag carries the Union to a 1-0 win over Charlotte FC
As the second half ticked on, the Union had more than the usual incentive to score. A lead would help get one of the centerbacks — Jack Elliott, Jakob Glesnes, and Damion Lowe — off the field to save energy for Saturday.
Charlotte manager Christian Lattanzio made his first two substitutions in the 60th minute, and another in the 72nd. Curtin didn’t make a change until the 77th, well after Gazdag’s heroics, sending in Chris Donovan for Uhre. Lattanzio made two more changes in the 78th, reaching his maximum allowed of five, before Curtin made a second: Jesús Bueno for Carranza, moving Gazdag to the front line with Donovan.Gazdag departed for Harriel late in second-half stoppage time as the last sub of the night.Before Gazdag’s, the Union’s only shots in the second half had come from Lowe and Glesnes, both from long range. Everyone else put a lot of crosses into the six-yard box, but none of them were followed by an end product.
The Union put together some pretty passing sequences along the way, but the play that produced the goal wasn’t one of them. Martínez had a shot from the top of the 18-yard box blocked, and the carom went far off to the left. Kai Wagner chased it down, lofted a hopeful cross into a traffic jam in the middle, and Gazdag rose to head the ball toward the goal. He knocked it off the post and into Kahlina, who couldn’t corral the bounce and watched the ball fall into the net.
