We're back with another week on the audio network! Following Forge FC’s 2-1 victory over Vancouver FC, Mackenzie is joined by Adam Jenkins, who was in the OneSoccer Studio. In this episode, they break down key moments from the match, discuss Forge’s growing adaptability against opponents, and celebrate Matteo Schiavoni’s first professional goal. Adam also shares why he believes this win will be a significant morale boost ahead of Friday’s clash with York United.

Key Takeaways:

• Vancouver adopted a. their ‘classic Forge approach,’ opting for a more direct, over-the-top playing style. In doing so, they gained significant momentum in the second half.
• The duel between Daniel Parra and Paris Gee was intense and entertaining, showcasing the aggression and talent of both players.
• Consistent excellence often makes it challenging for standout players to get the recognition they deserve. David Choinière exemplifies this, as he's been a cornerstone for Forge and a formidable force on the wing.
• Early setbacks for Vancouver (including Forge’s goal in the 5th minute) allowed Forge to position themselves for success.
• Forge is evolving into a more adaptive team. Adam notes that while they used to defeat opponents in a single, established way, we're now seeing more diversity in their methods of success.
