As the Union continue to chase the playoffs, the urgency of C.J. Sapong’s goal drought continues to grow. The team’s top striker has now gone 10 games without scoring, and in four of those games didn’t even take a shot.
The little things have been just as frustrating: dropping too deep too often to find the ball, or stopping a run in the middle of a play. In Saturday’s loss at Los Angeles FC, he blew a one-on-one chance in the first half, and didn’t jump for a cross toward him in the second half.
