Sierra Mist Man of the Match: Brad Guzan

While there were wholesale changes at halftime, having your back four play 90 minutes together to get familiarity is of the utmost importance for Piotr Nowak’s men.

That starting 11 is a pretty damn good look.  As long as this team can defend as a unit and attack as a unit, they’ll be in every tough game they come across.
