Latapy said TTFA Media, “It was a tough, scrappy and physical game.” We made two defensive errors that led to two goals being concede, which is unacceptable at this level. Again, though, we came here to compete for playing time, so these things are not out of the ordinary for us at this point give our lack of prior international experience.
Jordan Riley, a winger, and Jaydon Prowell, a forward and captain, were replace in Latapy’s starting lineup yesterday by Isa. Bramble and Brandon Semper, respectively. Semper started in midfield, and Hackshaw moved from the left flank to the front line.
