RSL vs Sporting KC: What we learned

Slow. We start slow. It takes RSL some time to find a rhythm; once we find that rhythm, we do a good job moving the ball and controlling much of the game’s flow. Right now, the best strategy is to hit us hard to start.

Sporting hit us hard at the beginning. SKC dominated the first 10 minutes, pressing hard and high. It was a smart move and led to that goal in the first minute of play. RSL needs to figure out how to start stronger.

Substitutions

Three subs before the 63rd minute, all five by the 77th.
