Game Summary
Harrisonburg Coach's Notes: Dominated possession of the game. Likely maintained 60% possession over course of game. High winds favored long ball if wind at back. Gave up two early goals due to quick counter strikes, and back line breakdown. Overplayed left side of field in first half. Despite going down 2—0, kept head in game and maintained possession strategy. Notable play by Zhear Haji with distribution of passes up top; Moises Perez from wing and forward spot, with excellent crosses and penetration for shots; Diyar Alzehhawi with movement of ball and communication. Team played multiple 1-2 movement/possession triangles with effective movement up the field.
