0-4VsOSP
They jumped on us for 2 early goals, then we settled down and it was 3-0 at the half.
We were allowing their midfield way too much time and space to move the ball around. We need to get better at covering man-to-man when THEY have the ball. Even our top players might have the ball for at most two or three minutes in a game... it's what you're doing with the rest of your time that is important.
It was a much better 2nd half, with Yvon, Karl and Andy having very good chances. Andy and Karl had partial breakaways and caused the keeper (Depo) to come way out, risking a collision.
Kyle made great saves to keep us respectable.
Ralf was an animal out there on defense and Zane cleaned up a number of situations.
Andrew Lubben made a sweet fake back pass to me, which threw off his check, then he ran the ball into the box and fired a shot at the far post, narrowly missing.
We certainly were making more confident combination plays in the second half and were unlucky not to score.
Our second-half shut-out was going well, then a break-down off our goal kick gave them a hot chance for Jimmy, who raced in and put in a low shot to beat Kyle just before the final whistle.
