Game Updates

90’ Full Time whistle blows. Kind of a typical preseason game. Some good things, some not so good things. Sergio Santos getting injured after setting up the opening goal in the second minute is the most concerning thing from today. Julian Carranza getting his first Union goal out of the way is a great sign.

74’ Anton Sorenson checks in for Jose Martinez. Jack Jasinski moves to the 6 and Sorenson to right back.

65’ Sullivan almost puts the Union up by one but quite couldn’t get a good finish off a nice pass from Matt Real. Game still leveled at 1.

63’ Joe Bendik with a big stop

55’ Union II Swiss Army knife Jack Jasinski replaces Nathan Harriel at right back

47’ Here is the lineup for the second half. Lots of changes.

46’ Game gets back underway at 12:00 p.m.

45+1’ We had only one minute of stoppage time and now the teams are heading to their benches for halftime.

40’ Union II/Union Academy forward Nelson Pierre is subbed into the game for Sergio Santos.

38’ Kubo with a rocket from distance levels the game.

18’ Kai Wagner so close to making it 2-0. He’s been solid today.

15’ Haris Medunjanin’s day ends early. He’s replaced by Stiven Jimenez.

2’ That was fast. Sergio Santos sets up Julian Carranza of a tap-in goal to give the Union an early lead.
