The game started out exciting and wide open as both teams played box to box. Then things fell apart for RSL, and the rest is in the scoreline.
Preparation
It is zero surprise how Philadelphia play. None. High pressure, counter, and strike. They have some fast players and work hard. It’s how they’ve played every match this season. It’s worked at times (like tonight) and they’ve been punished for it (unlike tonight).
We did not come in prepared to do what was necessary. They played the game their way and stomped us. We weren’t ready. Execution was off.
