Daily News | Mikael Uhre’s hat trick leads the Union to a 4-2 rout of Toronto FC
If you thought Nathan Harriel’s own goal off his rear end in Chicago last weekend was awkward, MacNaughton’s, which put the Union up 1-0 in the 16th minute, was even odder.
. The ball fell to Sigurd Rosted, who turned on the ground and kicked a clearance straight into MacNaughton. He could only stand helplessly as the ball bounced into the net.The big Dane’s first goal came in the 20th minute, a shot from just outside the six-yard box that deflected in off MacNaughton’s back. The shot was goal-bound, so Uhre keeps the credit.
In the 43rd, Uhre delivered a no-doubter. Gazdag set him free with a terrific spin past two defenders and a pass by a third, and Uhre raced away. Though Carranza was offside, he was far out of the play, and Uhre didn’t need the help anyway. He kept right on going and coolly slotted the ball past Johnson from 15 yards.
Uhre completed his hat trick in the 56th with a close-range-header of a chipped cross from Carranza. The crowd saluted him by singing “Let’s do this on Wednesday!” to the tune of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” a reference to the upcoming Concacaf Champions League semifinal home game against Los Angeles FC. There was a “Beat L.A.!” chant in the game’s finals seconds, too.
