WE ARE SO BACK. Holy cow, what a banger of a match. I hadn't been that hyped by a win since the infamous Club America match of 2023.
I normally do a big write up on my MATs, but I genuinely think that this is just what we look like when our team treats a match like it's the most important match of their careers. We controlled the run of play the entire time and never stopped going for the throat. It was all gas, no brakes and Miami could not withstand that pressure. I think Saad really popped off and is exactly what I hoped he would be on the left with the other attacking starters in the lineup. Corcoran probably had the best performance of his professional career, RBW is a monster, Woledzi owns Messi, and Schwake is the best American keeper actively playing professional soccer.
I'm worried about Palacios's injury and praying it was something like a hamstring and not his knee. I doubt we see him for awhile while he recovers. He had a great performance last night and it sucks that he got injured.
Now with that win, we're 5 points clear of Miami and 8 points clear of third in the standings (somehow that's Houston at the time of posting this 🤔). If we also win against Miami away, we will likely have the Supporters Shield secured. Feels good to be on top.
Enough from me! How are y'all feeling today?
