Solid performance from the young guys against a mostly first team opposition but no major standout for me. Murry was strong in the air and put in some good tackles but also was involved with both goals. Baiera looks like a capable backup, so that should ease the loss of Illenic.
I can't be too hard on Carrizo and Reid, SKC identified them as our primary threats and boxed them in with double teams most of the game. It left the wings open but none of our wide players had the skills to punish them for it.
Farnos and Flax looks smooth on ball and had some nice passes but neither of them could win the ball in the midfield. I think there was a solid 30 min near the start of the game where the only time we got the ball back was off a stop by the GK or our CBs or that ball going out of bounds. Tana got so frustrated with it he started charging into the midfield to win the ball for them.
Musu was unmatchably selfish all game, took some bad shots when he had an easy pass to a wide open teammate in front of goal. I'm sure he is pressing the make the team but man it was like watching those McDonalds high school all American basketball games where whomever has the ball is going to shoot no matter how bad the shot is.
