LAST TIME the Union traveled to Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., on May 24, the team came home with its first win in seven tries on New York's home turf, largely thanks to second-half goals from midfielder Vincent Noguiera and leading scorer C.J. Sapong.
Sapong leads the team with six goals, but he won't be adding to that tally in today's U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal matchup at 4 p.m. against the host Red Bulls, after picking up a red card against D.C. United in the previous Open Cup game.
"Not having C.J. is big," head coach Jim Curtin said yesterday morning at PPL Park.
