Fans caught their first glimpse of Mikael Uhre Saturday afternoon in the Union’s 2-1 win over CF Montréal. And the future looks good.
In the 67th minute, with the Union leading, Uhre stepped onto the field for the first time as the club’s most expensive player in history. Uhre had a dream scenario in which he could sit in and wait for his opportunity on the counter, but four minutes later, referee Drew Fischer handed Julián Carranza his second yellow card, and the Union switched to a 5-3-1 to preserve the lead, leaving Uhre alone up top, working more defensively to slow Montreal’s progress out of the back.
