Daily News | Union held to disappointing 1-1 tie by Minnesota United in season opener
The Union opened the new season in disappointing fashion Saturday, held to a 1-1 tie by Minnesota United before an announced crowd of 17,487 at Subaru Park that included MLS commissioner Don Garber.
“It wasn’t our best today,” Union manager Jim Curtin said. “You saw a lot of mistakes, a lot of silly turnovers, things that we know we need to clean up. ... It’s early in the season, so I won’t overreact, but it’s good to get humbled and recognize it’s not going to be that we just step on the field and have an easy time.”, Olivier Mbaizo looked pretty bad on Minnesota’s goal.
The mistake won’t help Mbaizo’s case as Nathan Harriel challenges him to be the Union’s starting right back. But let’s note too that as Lod made the trailing run into the box, he had no Union players near him as he received the pass. It’s a play that teams all over the world run all the time, and the Union did a surprisingly bad job of defending it.
Carranza played 75 minutes, registering 13 touches, 15-of-19 passing, one blocked shot, and two defensive recoveries. He also drew three fouls, one of which bordered on being worth a penalty kick but was let go by referee Rubiel Vazquez.
