We've never beat COS, with one point taken in three appearances. No Klimenta or Caesar - national team duty. Tonight's team captain? I hope it's James Kiffe, who will be making his 100th appearance.
Very small crowd tonight. In fact, I should be home in the A/C myself. New guy on the bench but not starting.
And Caesar misses a wide open net from about 12 yds.... And fine work from Blackwood to feed Casarez for a banger!
Rodriguez came off the field limping late 2nd half, bringing Gissie on as a sub and dropping Hall back to CB. McGlyn later went down and played the rest of the game (no more subs) not bending his knee very much. However, that was no factor in the stoppage time goal allowed, against the run of play, to lose two pts. This team is soooo frustrating.
Bijev came on in the 70th minute. A small sample size, but it looks like he might be a good, central-mid orchestrator.
enjoyed myself at the match - IMHO Sac-Town should have come away w/ the 3 points - at the end of the match I felt time management was horrible & that allowed Colorado to come out w/ a point - Here are the highlights HIGHLIGHTS: #SACvCOS@SwitchbacksFC score the late equalizer to draw @SacRepublicFC.
