Stat Chat: Union v Chivas USA

You know the old line, "It was a game of two halves." And so it was on Saturday.

In the first half the Union managed five shots, only one of which was on goal.

Keon Daniel's placement at left fullback seemed to offer a steady assuredness from the back that resulted in fewer long balls over the top and, consequently, over the midfield.
