Dynamo Film Session: Analyzing the build-up to Felipe's long-range rocket

Related Topics: Giles Barnes, Cristian Maidana

This edition of Dynamo Film Session analyzes Felipe's first goal and the build-up to it.

They have found their attack these first three games of the 2016 MLS season, scoring 11 times despite missing two of their top attackers, Cristian Maidana and Giles Barnes, for part of that span. The Dynamo have been the talk of the league thanks to their goal-filled games; when you put their three scores together—3-3, 5-0, 4-3—it sounds like a tennis match.

But they have their problems. Defense has been a little bit of an issue, as the backline have a tendency to back off too much and open up space at the top of the box, and when the center midfielders aren't close and compact with them, the opposing team is given the opportunity to take the space given to them and attack from the area outside the box, or Zone 14.
