Episode 408 - Early Goal, Own Goal and Red Card Sink Union as They Fall 2-0 to The Crew
Episode 408
Monday, 27 April, 2026

After going unbeaten in their last three games, including picking up four points in their last two away games, the Union fell to the Columbus Crew by a score of 2-0. The defeat came thanks to an early goal from Max Arfsten, a Nathan Harriel own goal, and a Japhet Sery red card in stoppage time of the second half. José and Jillian discuss their thoughts from the game, including: Max Arfsten causing all sorts of problems for the Union, Bradley Carnell wanting to see improvement in transition moments, finding a balance between development and results, injury updates on Jesús Bueno, Frankie Westfield, and Andre Blake, Japhet Sery Red Card? The right or wrong call, and the worst start in Union history.
