Daily News | Shorthanded Union fall to Orlando City, 2-1, for first home loss since 2021
fell to Orlando City, 2-1, at Subaru Park. All three goals came early in the game: Orlando’s Martin Ojeda in the 2nd minute and Ivan Angulo in the 9th, then Andrés Perea for the Union in the 17th., the Union conceded in the opening minutes. This time, it was on a breakaway by Ojeda, who ran through the Union’s unusually porous back line as Angulo played a pass over the top in the second minute. Jack Elliott was especially at fault, watching Angulo as Ojeda ran behind him.
The field-player substitutes were defenders Nathan Harriel and Matt Real, and midfielders Jesús Bueno and Jeremy Rafanello. Real and Rafanello can be used in more than one role, which helps, but neither is a game-changer — nor are the others. Still, as ugly as the game was, the Union had a 19-9 advantage in shots at the 70-minute mark. And that was the point when Union manager Jim Curtin summoned changes.It was a triple substitution: Nathan Harriel for Olivier Mbaizo at right back, Jesús Bueno for Leon Flach, and Matt Real for Mikael Uhre.
