“Andre Blake made a huge save” is a statement that never gets old writing, even if it is usually followed by “but the Union still dropped points.”
That was the case yet again on Saturday night in the Union’s 1-1 draw in a game that felt like a must against a team with a poor road record playing three time zones away from home. Blake made a critical first half when Vako Qazaishvili broke free in the box.
San Jose would score seven minutes later through an unstoppable shot by Magnus Eriksson, but Blake stood out enough — he had four saves for the match — to earn the highest percentage of upvotes in our post-game reader poll.
