He began on the right side of a midfield diamond and finished on the right side of defense.
For Ale Bedoya, where he plays on the pitch matters less than how he’s able to interact with the players around him. So with Dallas sitting deep in the waning moments of a 1-1 game, Bedoya continually charged forward with the ball, pushing the visitors into their own box and opening space for Ilsinho to terrorize Ryan Hollingshead.
The goal Bedoya scored, though, was about more than workrate and intelligence. After the game, the captain said he’d never scored one of those goals where the ball nutmegs the defender before.
