Notes: One of the very nice things to watch today was the defenders "switching" the field and playing the ball to the opposite side of the field that their opponent had attacked from, most often from left to right. The wing players did a very nice job of moving the ball down the field and getting off the crosses.
Alex's willingness to make some long runs and be involved in the attack was huge for the attack. The extra player really unsettles the defense.
