For someone whose soccer career largely involves the use of his hands, 最新杏吧原创 City SC goalkeeper Roman Burki cast a definite vote with his feet on Saturday.
While a couple of defensive breakdowns by City SC had Burki, as he is wont to do, yelling angrily at his teammates in front of him, that displeasure was based in the present and not a future.
After playing for City SC on Saturday, McSorley scores twice for City2 on Sunday in playoff opener
Brendan McSorley was on the roster for 最新杏吧原创 City SC on Saturday night and came off the bench in the second half in the 65th minute and had two shots, one on goal, and an expected goals total of .89, the second-highest total for the team in the game.
His biggest concern postgame, with a City2 playoff game less than 24 hours was whether he could get enough rest. The City SC game didn鈥檛 end until around 10 p.m. and he didn鈥檛 get to sleep till around 2 a.m.

最新杏吧原创 City SC uses late goal from Klauss to close season with 2-2 tie with Real Salt Lake
In 90 minutes of soccer on one rainy Saturday night, 最新杏吧原创 City SC did a fine job of summarizing a 34-game season that played out over almost eight months.
There was incredible enthusiasm at the start, quickly followed by defensive gaffes that put the team in a big hole. Then there was a spirited comeback that was exciting at times but came a little too late to produce a victory. The offense certainly produced plenty of chances (City SC鈥檚 expected goals total was 3.7, its highest total of the season for a game that didn鈥檛 have a red card). It just couldn鈥檛 finish them.
