Houston Dynamo 0, New England Revolution 2: Rate the Players and Quick Thoughts

1) One of the turning points of the game when New England opened up the scoring. Glenn Davis outlined the events pretty well on his Facebook page Soccer Matters.

Essentially Eric Alexander played a questionable pass to Darwin Cerén who decided to take the ball through defenders. Cerén losses possession and the Dynamo are forced to defend in an unfavorable 4v1 situation. This highlights a problem with the Dynamo system that keeps players higher up and how vulnerable we are to teams that love to counter attack like New England. The situation was made worse since it was coming off a set piece opportunity with players that would normally be behind the ball were in front of it.
