STARTING XI
11 - Erik Hurtado
Tough game for the young forward. Had numerous passes go directly to defending SKC players during the game. Took a huge knock to the forehead that busted up his nose. Should have came off as soon as he suffered the hit to the head in my opinion.
10 - Sebastian Fernandez
Went down numerous times way too easy. Had two great chances where he failed to score. Just missed a cross from Mattocks and had another attempt cleared off the line where he was slow to follow the ball towards goal.
9 - Jordan Harvey
Played an okay game. Almost got a head on the Leveron cross that was cleared by the SKC player on the goal line. Was in position and covered well.
8 - Stephen Beitashour
Was very solid defensively and helped control the defensive box and shut down the SKC attack.
7 - Andy O'Brien
Played very well with Matias Laba. Might be last start this season with Kendall Waston coming into the mix.
6 - Darren Mattocks
Could have had 3 or 4 goals in this game. Needs to keep working on his finishing touch. Made a very nice run to the middle of the pitch on his goal.
5 - David Ousted
Only had to make two saves but played a very good game with his feet helping clear the box. Is now tied for 2nd in the MLS with six clean sheets.
4 - Pedro Morales
Had a very nice pass to Fernandez to almost set up a goal. Showed great touch setting up the run on the Mattocks goal. Could have been a little more active in the middle of the pitch but overall a good game.
3 - Johnny Leveron
Had a great game helping shut down Dom Dwyer. Stepped up in the box and made great decisions. Almost had a goal off a Morales corner after making a great play with a header.
2 - Matias Laba
A great game for Laba, played with enough of a physical presence not to get suspended with his next yellow. Along with Gershon Koffie they shut down the middle of the pitch to stop any of the SKC attack. Had a great play to step up and give the ball to Morales to set up the 2-0 goal.
1 - Gershon Koffie
So strong on the ball the whole game. Teamed up very well with Matias Laba shutting down the SKC attack. Magician with the ball at his feet and always knows where to position his body when being defended on a challenge.
SUPER SUBS
3 - Russell Teibert
Very surprised he didn't get the start on the wing over Erik Hurtado. Came on for Pedro Morales and the team lost some spark once their talismanic captain left the pitch.
2 - Mehdi Ballouchy
Always great to see Ballouchy get on the pitch. Is turning into a good capable MF sub.
1 - Omar Salgado
Was able to put Aurelien Collin in a position where the ref had to make the penalty call. Had some great runs on the wing where he used his good size to get the ball down the pitch.
