Defiance suffered their first home loss of 2023 back on Monday. St. Louis City2 came in and dominated all aspects of play in what felt like a flashback to some of S2/Defiance’s worst days. It was also St. Louis’s third win of the season.
Tacoma’s struggles were unusual and it’s not easy to figure out where blame or credit lies. The formation wasn’t unique, the lineup was fairly typical. Still, almost every player struggled. Maybe it was a collective case of the Mondays?
Earlier this week Defiance signed a left back, Pedro Rodrigues.
