Looked dangerous on his rare ventures up field. Clearly better in the midfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monsef Zerka <\/strong>\u2013 <strong>5.5<\/strong><br \/>\nPut in a couple of dangerous crosses, but pinched inside a bit in the first half, possibly looking to aid the Revs makeshift central midfield and backline, leaving the Revs without width on the right at times. Stayed out wide in the second period and positioning \u2013 and defensive effort \u2013 looked better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew Sousa <\/strong>\u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rookie did well in the midfield, making smart runs forward, winning the ball back after a couple of his giveaways, and aiding the Revs inexperienced defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kheli Dube<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>5.5<\/strong><br \/>\nNice combination with Schilawski should\u2019ve led to an assist. A couple of nice plays in his 45 minutes of work, but didn\u2019t make too much of an impact otherwise<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Kinne<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>5.5<\/strong><br \/>\nLooked very dangerous when making runs to the middle and cutting inside to his stronger right foot. Had a nice combination with Fagundez that nearly led to a good chance. Eye for goal showed he may be better suited as a second striker as he spent most of his time in College.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diego Fagundez<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nRating could\u2019ve been much higher if he finished off one of his two great chances. Made excellent runs through the midfield providing outlets for his teammates. Exceptional vision for his age and dribbling caused Toronto fits. Struggled when Toronto got physical when Fagundez was on the ball around the box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zack Schilawski<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>7.5<\/strong><br \/>\nWork hard up top all morning. His pressure helped lead to the own goal and he finished his breakaway perfectly. Great job holding up the ball for support and combining with his midfielders to create dangerous chances. Finishing need to be more clinical at times, however.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nWorked well in the makeshift backline. His long throw-in led to the Revs first goal.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Benny Feilhaber<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6.5<\/strong><br \/>\nHis class was evident as he sliced through Toronto\u2019s defense. Picked up a needless yellow card.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Charlie Romeiro<\/strong> (Likely actually Charles Romero of Williams College) \u2013 <strong>N\/A<\/strong><br \/>\nDidn\u2019t see much of the ball in his 17 minutes of playing time, but was active making runs when the Revs were on the attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how newcomer Monsef Zerka and others fared for the Revs reserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[42,3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nesoccertoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/zerkafeature2.jpg?fit=490%2C225","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6134"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6134"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6141,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6134\/revisions\/6141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
