Fishlock shoots one-touch right instep bend just past Barnhart's dive, off right post 1/2 high, it bounces away rightward. Barnhart probably had the post sealed, so that wasn't going in anyways -- but still, it's quite bewildering that Utah are so soft at their own box top, ceding chances like this.
