    Hugo doesn’t look like he needs a sub…
    How about Shok for Lod?

    looks like GGG parking the bus.
    With 3CBs I’d bring in Borso for Dean and Pineda for Saletros

    Come on, Chris Brady!

    Make Evander cry.

    Too bad. Evander scores.

    3-2 with 11 minutes (plus stoppage time).

    Despite the announcer’s praise and some good play, overall has not been a good match for TLB

    One goal lead, just lock it down against a poor team. We’ve seen them do it against Atlanta and Nashville.

    An, there it is.
    SOMETHING STUPID HAPPENED

    D'Avilla own goal.

    Game tied.

    On the plus side, Brady almost saved that.

    Crap…

    Still no adjustments for Evander…he’s the only guy you have to take out of their attack
    …………………..Cuypers
    …..MHS….Davilla…Saletros…Dithejane
    Gutman…TLB…Elliot…Waterman…Borso
    ….…………………Brady

    Bring Pineda in please, we need a banger shadow and disrupt Evander. It’s like Saletros doesn’t even pay attention to Evander…just manning his post
