Flying headers, bicycle kicks, penalties, shots into side netting — Union forward Julián Carranza has scored some spectacular goals this season. He's not done yet.
This is a team that started the season capitalizing on a hard-won reputation and character as a club that was difficult to score against, even at the expense, sometimes, of offensive output. Yes, they reached the Eastern Conference final last season, but then let their leading goalscorer, Kacper Przybyłko, go to the Chicago Fire, a rival conference squad.
“I wanted to play and have more minutes on the field,” said Carranza. “That didn’t happen in Miami. It did here in Philadelphia. I’m grateful.” It’s worth noting that Carranza would be the Union’s leading goalscorer in the last two Union regular seasons, but this year, he’s second on the squad to midfielder Dániel Gazdag, who has 16. Gazdag had four last season, but of course, that was before Carranza and Danish striker Mikael Uhre showed up. In almost all of the Union’s recent scoring plays, one or more of the three in the attacking corps is involved. Carranza leads the trio in assists with five.
The Union brass let their appreciation of Carranza be known, picking up his loan option even before the season ended, as manager Jim Curtin showed how much he valued Carranza’s contributions. The striker praised Curtin’s leadership.
