This week we changed it up a bit and dissected the goals for and against. As we entered the game we knew that set plays could be the difference in the match, and that proved ultimately correct.
Three out of the four goals came from set plays directly or indirectly. Below you will find a small breakdown that corresponds with the accompanying video clips.

The final product of this goal was a great service from Haris Medunjanin, committed runs by Chris Pontius, and Oguchi Onyewu, CJ Sapong and Alejandro Bedoya executing their role to create distraction and space, and finally a great finish by Richie.
