HOU vs URFC: What We Learned

Utah Royals FC played their second match

Improving game-to-game

Despite seeing two starters from week 1 miss this match due to injury, and another player leave this one early for the same reason, the team as a whole played better against Houston than they had in Orlando.

Passing number, completion percent, and possession were much higher this time, as were the number of shots on goal. The defense also kept the Dash from putting any of their shots on frame, which meant that URFC controlled the match for long stretches and absorbed the Houston counter attack well.
