Daily News | Union roll to 4-0 Champions League win over Alianza, advance to quarterfinals
Damion Lowe celebrates with Alejandro Bedoya and Jakob Glesnes after scoring the Union's opening goal.The Union eased past El Salvador’s Alianza in the home game of their Concacaf Champions League round of 16 series, 4-0, on Tuesday at Subaru Park.
Dániel Gazdag was felled by Alianza goalkeeper Marion Gonzalez breaking in one-on-one in the sixth minute. Referee Bryan López of Guatemala didn’t call it, and the Union were understandably upset. But replays showed that while there was some contact, Gazdag might have made a little too much of it for his own good.In the 23rd, Gazdag was in the right place to receive a redirected corner kick and redirect it in the net. But he was offside, and was correctly flagged for it.
Gazdag nearly made it 2-0 off another corner kick sequence early in the second half, but he was rightly called offside on a video review. The second goal finally came in the 62nd minute, Gazdag converting from the spot after a video review caught a handball by Alianza’s William Canales. This game saw the first centerback pairing of Damion Lowe and Jakob Glesnses. While a Lowe-Jack Elliott pair would never be surprising because Lowe can be the presser of the two, here was a duo where both starters aren’t afraid to move up the field.
Torres was withdrawn in the 65th as part of a rarely-seen triple-substitution by Curtin. Mikael Uhre replaced Torres, Jesús Bueno replaced José Andrés Martínez, and Perea replaced Alejandro Bedoya.How to watch the Union's regular-season games in the new Apple MLS Season Pass streaming package
