TEAM NOTES
- Borek Dockal recorded assists on both goals tonight, giving him 12 on the season and six in his last five matches … the Czech Republic native is now tied for second in MLS in assists, and is three away from tying the all-time Union single-season record in the category (15, Cristian Maidana, 2015).
