A lot goes down on the pitch in any given match. Each week, we’ll be talking to a player or coach about one specific play from last week’s match and letting them give an inside view of the play as it developed.
This week, we took a bit of a different approach, talking with Assistant Coach Ian Fuller about the Darwin Quintero pass to Abu Danladi that forced the Portland Timbers defenders into a bad spot and resulted in an own goal. Fuller broke down how an own goal might be a mistake, but it’s rarely an accident, and how players like Quintero are all about forcing defenders to make bad decisions.
