    Agreed. No time to make an impact other than a mistake to give up a goal.

    Oregel has been burned several times, especially early in the match.

    We’re probably getting a solid 5 minutes of added time. Plenty of time for MHS to get a contribution in,

    When I said a solid five, I thought maybe six was possible. Nine is wild. We’ll take it though!

    Brian Dunseth is a crappy announcer.

    Max Bretos has been almost subdued.

    That's it.
    Another draw at home.
    Could have/almost should have been a win, but some missed chances and Teran gives up a penalty.

    Oh well

    I’ll take the point against what on paper appears to be a superior team. Def feels like it should’ve been three though.

    Curious to watch the 2min through to the PK foul call again…
    Recollection is multiple fouls were not called and Teran went hip to hip…
    Will be interesting to see if my memory is accurate…
    Feels like we lost two point to some BS…

    It is going to be results like this and not getting three points at home that will keep the Fire around the playoff line and either getting bounced in the play in game or not making it.

    I’m not entirely upset with the result with LAFC being a better team who has seen action recently, but it was there for them.
