NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Philadelphia Union were five minutes from taking all three points in Nashville SC’s first game in their sparkling new stadium, but a handball in the box led to a Nashville equalizer from the spot and the teams instead battled to a 1-1 draw.
Mikael Uhre finally opened his Union scoring account and notched his name into the history books when he scored the first goal in GEODIS Park history after collecting a floated long ball from Daniel Gazdag. Uhre shook off his defender and got the ball past Joe Willis to give the Union the 1-0 advantage in the 66th minute.
