Union record 22 shots but just one goal in 1-1 tie with San Jose Earthquakes

The Union played a fairly lively game against the San Jose Earthquakes, but despite a 22-9 advantage in shots could only muster enough scoring for a 1-1 draw at Talen Energy Stadium.

San Jose’s goal came first, and it came very much against the run of play. In the 37th minute, Anibal Godoy sprung Danny Hoesen down the right wing, and he laid off a pass for an unmarked Magnus Eriksson to shoot past Andre Blake from the edge of the 18-yard box.

The Union nearly equalized in the 42nd. Fafa Picault snapped a header off a Matt Real cross from the left wing that looked goal-bound, but Andrew Tarbell made a great reflex save.
