Glad to hear they interrupted the Russell Westbrook channel to show great soccer. That shot deserves high praise!
They have trouble with the combination of a high press and a narrow field. SRFC's best opportunities were on counter, but instead of going vertical, they would frequently pull up and pass back and around the shell, allowing OKC to set up and cram the box. Three shots on goal. Three. No matter the level of competition, that ain't gonna get it done.
I think we missed Moffat last night. Not the DTS played poorly but Moffat might have been both the calming presence to move the ball through the midfield and disrupt when OKC was on the ball. I hope Hord puts this game behind him quickly.
