Thoughts From the Club
Head Coach Ryan Martin on the result:
“Anytime you play one of the top teams in the league, challenges are presented, and we knew going into this match that restarts would be massive. We are disappointed in our defending; the fact is, we just can’t give up goals off long throws. You can’t do that against good teams and win those games. More urgency and more quality are the name of the game heading into Saturday.”
Drew Skundrich on tonight’s loss:
“Never feels great to lose at home in front of our fans. Set pieces lost us the match, and there is no excuse for that. That red card didn’t lose us the match; we had our opportunities to come out with a draw, but we got lost and gave up some weak goals near the end.”
Notes
Abdellatif Aboukoura tallied his 11th USL Championship goal of the season and 13th across all competitions.
Florian Valot still sits in second place in the USL Championship for assists with six.
