Dominance on the soccer field can be measured in a number of ways: possession, shots on goal, score. Seeing that Atlanta Christian defeated TFC 3-0 in Atlanta, one might be tempted to think that ACC dominated the Eagles. Unfortunately, the only area that ACC had the edge was on the scoreboard. TFC controlled much of the tempo and possession, kept ACC in their half, and nearly quadrupled the number of their opponents shots. Two critical keeper errors allowed ACC to score two goals on three shots in the second half, and once again the Eagles found themselves in a hole too deep to get out of.
Especially when you can’t score. When you put up 1 goal in 5 games, there aren’t ANY holes you will dig out of. At the end of the day, the one quality goal that ACC earned was enough for the victory. Until TFC finds its offensive rhythm and starts putting shots in the back of the net, they will feel the pressure of having to defend perfectly. For the first time since the start of the season, TFC will have 3 days to prepare for their next opponent, Crown College (TN) at home on Saturday.
