Matt Reis <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 6, Julian 6, Sean 6)
\nSweet ball to Perovic on the Stolica goal. Nothing he could do about the defensive breakdown that unfolded in front of him during the final ten minutes. (Brian) \u2026 Not much he could do on those goals. He’s aging and he isn’t expected to stop penalty kicks like he once could. Good positioning most of the night. (Julian) \u2026 A couple of good saves, defense was at fault for both goals. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.5<\/strong> (Brian 6, Julian 7, Sean 6.5)
\nHad a surprising showing at left back, playing well at the back and on the attack. (Brian) \u2026 Great assist on Joseph and did well tracking back (Julian) \u2026 Looked like he would be beat for speed a few times, but did well defensively and provided a great assist on Joseph\u2019s goal. Impressive runs forward. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Cory Gibbs<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 6.5, Sean 4.5)
\nSoft defending continues to hamper the veteran, looked slow again in the center. (Brian) \u2026 One of his best games this season. Could have been a bit better in second half but his position was spot on most of the match. (Julian) \u2026 Lucky to have avoided a red card, not very smart play for such an experience veteran. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4 <\/strong>(Brian 4, Julian 4, Sean 4)
\nPlayed pretty well before the unnecessary takedown on Ferreira in the 79th. Faded late. (Brian) \u2026 Good first half but very ill disciplined in second half. drew a stupid penalty kick. (Julian) \u2026 Decent performance, until the unnecessary challenge that led to the penalty. Could\u2019ve seen a second yellow. Needs to play smarter closing out games. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.33<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 7, Sean 5)
\nContinues to nibble around the attacking third, but was burned a few times in the second half. (Brian) \u2026 Great job defending and joining in attack (Julian) \u2026 Didn\u2019t provide much going forward and was slow to track back a few times. Used his physical ability well at times defensively. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kenny Mansally<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 6)
\nAdded much needed pace to the left, leaving FCD off balance during the first half. Ferreira\u2019s miss on the first penalty got him off the hook for the hard challenge inside the box. (Brian) \u2026Provided pace and ability to beat a man that the Revs lack when Tierney at left mid. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Pat Phelan<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.5<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 5, Sean 4.5)
\nAided the midfield\u2019s first half form, but caught out of position on Ferreira\u2019s give and go to Avila prior to the equalizer. (Brian) \u2026 Did good job to keep ball moving and tracking back (Julian) \u2026 Phelan played well when the team was doing well in the first half, but continuously killed attacks and possession in the second half. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 7.33<\/strong> (Brian 7, Julian 7.5, Sean 7.5)<\/p>\n

The catalyst of the attack. Distributed well, scored \u2013 looked like the Best XI center half we\u2019ve come to know. (Brian) \u2026 Finally a goal and great job allowing midfield to move around (Julian) \u2026 One of his better games this season. Finally got a deserved goal. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Sainey Nyassi<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6 <\/strong>(Brian 6, Sean 6)
\nThe speedy winger was a force on the right. Easily his best game of the road trip. (Brian) \u2026 Used his pace to good effect against a very tough Heath Pearce and put in a solid performance (Sean)<\/p>\n

Marko Perovic <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6.5<\/strong> (Brian 6, Julian 7, Sean 6.5)
\nCracked a solid free kick in the 4th, and played a beautiful ball to Stolica on the 2nd goal. Still tries to do too much (Brian) \u2026 Good job creating attacks and staying with play for assist (Julian) \u2026 Continues to cause defenders trouble. Great set-up on Stolica\u2019s goal.(Sean)<\/p>\n

Ilija Stolica<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.33 <\/strong>(Brian 6, Julian 7, Sean 6)
\nHelped engineer the first goal, had a cool finish on the second one. (Brian) \u2026 Good goal but it was easy. Moved around well…should have had more chances (Julian) \u2026 Needs to see the ball more, but great finish and good contributions when he got involved. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Khano Smith<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 2<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 1, Sean 2)
\nNothing more than a distraction, visibly upset when Stolica tried to offer advice.(Brian) \u2026 Created nothing, killed team chemistry in fight with stolica (Julian) \u2026 Brought on to defend, but didn\u2019t do much of it. Looked out of the game after confrontation with Stolica. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Kheli Dube<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.33<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 3, Sean 3)
\nNowhere to be seen for the second straight match. (Brian) \u2026 Did not see enough out of him…he’s not a natural at winger yet (Julian) \u2026 Has had one good game at right mid and been poor every other. Why would Nicol bring him into the midfield while trying to hold a lead? (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Zack Schilawski <\/strong>– NR<\/strong>
\nWorked hard up top in his few minutes as a sub. (Sean)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
