Definitely hurts to give up the late goal, but I was honestly not too upset with the performance. Paes had a bad night and think it might be his only game I could say he was “bad” or “off”. His head might have been elsewhere with the call-up. His penalty save that led to a rebound was unfortunate… and the penalty was week… take that goal away and take away that incredible/lucky Zach Stefan save against Kos’ header and I think we might be talking about how good of a game that was (probably would be 3-1 Dallas in this scenario).

Positives:

1) Musa is still the real deal

2) Jesus looked back, like actually back. That pass to Junqua that led to the Musa goal was beautiful and classic Jesus!

3) Velasco didn’t just get minutes, he looked good doing it. He didn’t look timid, he looked hungry.

With Lleget and P-Nips in great form, all three DPs on the field, Ruan and Show proving to be good moves, and Illara healthy I’m actually excited for the last seven games. Even if we don’t make the playoffs, I think we’re in for some good, exciting soccer.
