Preseason - All Matches


and that is how it ends.

no mention of subs at half time.

maybe we'll see a highlight vid later?

edit:

looks like no vid, just photo gallery. interestingly, no thiago martins today at all. he was in the initial photos of their first week in cali. must have gotten injured? or had some obligation he had to attend to.

Match Gallery for the RSL game.

From RSL website.
RSL began the game on the weaker foot and was punished for its sluggishness and miscommunication when early goals from Keaton Parks and Alonso Martinez, within only a minute of each other – in the 13th and 14th respectively, put NYFC two goals up and cruising. The Claret-and-Cobalt, however, gradually grew into the game and managed to pull one back just minutes from halftime when Marczuk reacted brilliantly in the box to connect with a cross from newcomer Sam Junqua coming off the left.

A tepid, back-and-forth contest subsequently gave way to a more controlled RSL display in the second half, as Mastroeni’s men began to firmly assert their dominance and were rewarded for their fight and courage in the 60th minute, as a cutback from an overlapping Alex Katranis found its way towards second-half captain Ojeda, who met the ball with a thunderous first-time strike, the ball flying into the top right corner for the all-important equalizer.
 
eh didnt he also score like 2/3 goals in preseason and nothing happened in season

One of the knocks on Bakrar last season was that he got pushed off the ball too easily. In that clip the CB practically wraps him up and Bakrar powers through for the goal. Preseason goals do not translate to regular season goals but I'm still taking it as a possible sign that Bakrar heard the criticism and got stronger in the offseason. For all his struggles the guy seems like a hard worker, I would not be surprised at all if he worked on it over the break.
