Sacha starts in CM. (Najar starting at RM) Sacha just led a nice counter that was ruined by the forward dwelling too long on the ball rather than shooting or passing back to Sacha. Still 0-0 after 11 mins.
Sacha wins the ball in midfield, passes to Najar, who gets free with a nice move and goes on a marauding run, but loses the ball. Anderlecht getting decent amounts of space in midfield. It's also raining like crazy
Sacha stoned by Szczezny! He latches onto a cleared ball at the top of the box, has a nice dribble to get past a defender, and is one on one vs the keeper but shoots too close. EDIT: Just saw a replay, the ball was bouncing and he didn't get good contact on the shot. Unfortunate.
Goal #2. Alexis puts in a great goal off a rebound from a close FK that he won with either a blatant dive or slip.
oh in case you're wondering what happened, Goal # 3, Kljestan has possession in his own half, hold the ball, holds the ball, holds the ball, gives away easily, immediate goal
3-3 now. I didn't see the mistake described above, but he seems to be playing at a high level for him.
or maybe he just slipped on that turf http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/video?vid=352557635892 Najar's deemed considerably better. This year, Andy has stepped it up time and is now an entrenched starter with the club.
Absent that brain fart, and possibly a foul, Sacha had a pretty solid game. Going 90 in the CL. Pretty damn respectable given the shiite we've had to put up with in terms of our other YA's this term. I would say that this speaks to the consistency, professionalism, and determination of Sacha. He ain't a Ferrari, but he is our Accord. I wonder if this also speaks for looking at smaller leagues but top clubs in those smaller leagues. I know the competition week in and out is limited, but being able to play in the CL even twice or three times a season against a team like Arsenal may not be worse then riding the pine in the EPL for a cellar dwellar. Obviously with Sacha mostly on the bench for Anderlecht of late, that doesn't help either. Whatevs, good on ya Sacha.
