Bruce Arena likes Luis Caicedo’s “aggressive” play

Head coach Bruce Arena was happy with Luis Caicedo’s performance after he replaced Matt Polster at halftime of Wednesday’s game against D.C. United.

Polster received a yellow card in the 42nd minute when he pulled down an advancing D.C. attacker. The fear of a second card prompted Arena to switch out his defensive midfielders.

“I thought [Polster] had a sluggish first half,” Arena said. “He didn’t look very sharp today. He was a step slow and we couldn’t afford him getting sent off. So, it was important that we got him off the field and had a fresher play at half.
