Is that artificial turf?

[fknbuflobo]

That did not look offside.

[bmaker]

Is it safe to assume that since no one has mentioned the score yet that it is nil - nil?

[fknbuflobo]

Who is down?

[GoZips88]

Quinn. 9 minutes to go.

[GoZips88]

Akron now up 2-0 with 3 minutes to go. Corner kick off of CoC player.

[Dave in Green]

As always, the Zips looked good controlling the ball. But you soccer experts are going to have to tell me if I am wrong to be concerned that they couldn't score against this opponent until after the red card.

[Jalapeño Zippy]

We controlled the flow of the game, we were patient and we outshot them by quite a bit. They were packing in the defense like I joked earlier playing 9 defenders and 1 forward it seemed hoping for a quick counter from a clear. They almost got us a couple of times which at this level should be expected.

Our players seem to hold onto the ball a little more under Embick. The focus is still two touch soccer but it appears the players have more freedom to try and create on their own.

Agreed. You saw what I saw. Zips lacked quality in the final third.

On the bright side, things really picked up when Matt Foldesy entered the fray. His assist was sublime.
