Cleveland vs. Crystal Palace reaction

This was an interesting game. For the second week in a row, the midfield gave the ball away needlessly and it almost led to CPB opening the scoring in the first minute. Luckily Godfrey was able to clear the ball out. We should have scored in the first half. Musa had a great opportunity off of a freekick. His header was on target, but the 'keeper made a superb save.

The second half saw us dominate more, but it wasn't until the 83rd minute that we actually got a goal. It was completely out of nowhere. Floyd played a ball over the top to Sallieu who held off two defenders before putting it into the back of the net. It really should have been the second goal as Ryan Stewart missed a golden opportunity earlier in the half.

Three points are three points. With Richmond beating Pittsburgh, we really needed to win.

My Man of the Match: Musa Otieno. He shut down Gary Brooks, one of the league's best forwards.
