It is hard to take too much from Tuesday night’s game against the San Jose Earthquakes. Played on short rest with an already depleted roster further limited when Chase Gasper and Dayne St. Clair were both ruled out under health and safety protocols, it was a rather unique affair. Made even more unique after Nathan was shown a red card in the 21st minute. But, with all of that, we can still find three hesitant take-aways.
- From the beginning, it seems, San Jose had the desire to exploit the late-replacement DJ Taylor. They consistently and with single-minded intent worked the ball quickly to Cristian Espinoza down the right side and almost immediately got a result.
