It is true there was difficulty in our midfield to string together many passes. The amount of pressure Columbus applied forced us to play at a quicker pace and some of our midfield was not ready for that which resulted in many errant passes. Either way, it was a great game to attend and here's to RSL.

It was obvious that Columbus was playing for a 0-0 draw. How many times did they simply play a long ball out of bounds so that they could reset their defense. Seemed like every time we had the ball on their half of the field that our player with the ball would be covered by 2 or 3 of their players. The good news is that Columbus can't play this style in the match on Thursday night. They have to score at least one goal which should open up the game.

A bit of poetic justice that Frankie was responsible for giving up the goal considering the amount of time he wasted throughout the game on throw-ins and free kicks.

Great headline!?! Not! It was a playoff game, for crying out loud. Try celebrating the success of taking a 1-0 lead in round 1 of the playoffs. Yeah, the game was a bit sluggish but it's the result. DNews editors are starting to sound like Kries.

RSL Won! Proclaim it loudly because we're going to do it again on Thursday!
