The preseason match against San Jose gave us a slight glimpse into what we can expect this coming season, as about half of our preferred starters played together at once — including Yura Movsisyan, Joao Plata, and Albert Rusnak all making starts in the first half.
Given that each half saw an entirely new lineup, I’m splitting the Man of the Match honors between two players.
Man of the first half: Yura Movsisyan
The speed and cohesion that we saw from Yura in the attack against San Jose is what makes him my pick for the first half.
