1: Nothing helps break down a low block like an early goal and a red card. Thank god we scored early because a team going down to 10 is no guarantee that you’ll get a result. Just ask Montreal. It was beautiful first time hit from Luiz. He continues to trust his shot and we are the better for it. Great game for Josef as well with a goal and assist. He looked very comfortable and was productive  and in good spots all game. 

2: Rocco did what he needed to do. He kept it relatively simple. No mistakes, save for an errant pass that his back line bailed him out on. He held on to the ball a little less than maybe he normally does. It’s good that he recognizes that as much as he may fancy himself a dribbling playmaker, that propensity for fancy footwork won’t work in the big league. He’s earning himself continued consideration for starting keeper. 

3: I don’t know if it’s better defending or just poor execution from Miami but we looked better on corners and honestly I don’t care which it is. We didn’t concede from a set pieces today and I’ll happily take that. 

4: Ever seen a rock move fast? Look no further than George Campbell. One of his best games ever for us. He had plenty to do all day and he did it well. Rocco didn’t have a great deal to do today and he can thank big George for that. 

5: No one got hurt.
