Despite NYCFC giving up 3 goals, solid performance by Sands at CB.

(and what a beauty of a stadium MNUFC)

 

From what I saw Sands did well (I missed a chunk of the second half). There were a couple of times late were he had problems with Angelo Rodriguez strength. NYCFC switched to a back 4 for the second half.

DeJuan Jones starts for New England with Justin Rennicks on the bench. Miles Robinson starts for Atlanta.

 

Assist for Carleton (ATL 2).

 

Bassett and Vines starting for Colorado

 

Cannon, Cerrillo, Pomykal, and Ferreira start for FC Dallas. Roberts is on the bench.

Ebobisse starts for Portland.

 

James sands was MOTM.

Stoked to see Sands playing in the back. His ceiling is significantly higher there than in the midfield.

 

that is a good weekend for our MLS youngsters

 

Durkin with a goal

 

Durkin with a goal. Smart run seeing an opportunity to get forward and a great finish.

Gif of goal

 

Held his run well not to be offside, and excellent technique on the strike.

 

Aaronson and Trusty start for Philadelphia. McKenzie on the bench.
Araujo on the bench for the Galaxy.

Hamalainen, Brewer, and Josh Perez on the bench for LAFC.
Amaya on the bench for Cincinnati.

 

Whoever is better between Moreno and canouse should start alongside durkin.

Durkin has the upside and natural talent to be a starter right now. Let’s hope he kills it in Poland and gets sold this summer. Huge potential.

 

Gonna guess it wasn't a coincidence at all that he got his first meaningful minutes of the year right after the article came out that he had been denied Bundesliga loans despite being parked on the bench haha. Wasn't doing anything to help MLS' problems with signing young and talented domestic players.
