Real Monarchs 0 vs. Austin Bold FC 2
May 26, 2021; Bold Stadium
Real Monarchs (0-2-2, 2 points); Austin Bold FC (1-1-1, 4 points)
Man of the Match: Head Coach Jamison Olave rolled out a three-man backline, allowing wingers like Noah Powder and Malik Johnson to move up the side of the pitch. 16-year-old Jaziel Orozco was tasked with carrying a larger defensive load. The centerback also had the team’s best chance at goal, but his header bounced off the framework.
Telling Stat: Despite the scoreline, the Real Monarchs managed to record 12 shots, three more than tonight’s opponent, but Austin’s defense was able to hold off the offensive threats.
