The result ended the Union’s hopes of finishing second in the Eastern Conference.
Though the Union held a 14-7 advantage in shots, including 5-1 in shots on target, they weren’t able to beat the team that has long owned Major League Soccer’s stingiest defense.
There still was a bit of rotation, though, to keep bodies fresh. Damion Lowe swapped in for Jack Elliott at centerback, and Quinn Sullivan swapped in at forward for Mikael Uhre.José Andrés Martínez’s night started off in painful fashion when he slid to block a shot with his right ankle in the 10th minute. In the 24th, he caused himself further pain by swinging an elbow backward and landing it in Dax McCarty’s face.
Many of those defensive efforts went toward shutting down Hany Mukhtar, the reigning MLS MVP. He’d have a good shot at a second straight honor, too, if not for FC Cincinnati’s Luciano Acosta piling up 16 goals and 13 assists for the Supporters’ Shield winners.
