Did Robles have many saves to make? I can't remember (this is happening more and more these days...)

 

He did save Sapong's weak side-footed shot. Had Sapong put his laces thru then he would have been better tested or it could have been a goal. Then when some of the crosses came thru the 6 no one was there.... And on some corners no one could connect properly even though the ball bounces around the 6.

 

The most work he got was coming off his line to attack balls sent in Fafa's direction. I swear their offense on Sunday came right out of a U10 playbook: SEND IT TO THE FAST KID...SEND IT!

 

He had to make two saves. Dan Walsh describes them both in his analysis piece on PSP.
