After a good preseason I was excited to see Tesho Akindele get a start. My excitement turned to disappointment rapidly as the game unfolded. Tesho was out on the left-wing, not his best spot, but nevertheless he failed to impress against weak opposition. His dribbling, passing, and overall decision-making left a lot to be desired. Would he have been any better starting up top?
A Slow Affair
With a 4-0 lead going in, it was expected that this game would be slow, and it was. The game was chippy throughout, had several attempts to injure Michael Barrios, and some rugby challenges from both teams.
