WHY FC EDMONTON TIED

They didn’t have enough urgency in the first half against a strong wind and were unable to create more than a couple of opportunities. In the second half, Puerto Rico sat back looking for the scoreless tie and while Edmonton dictated the play, they were unable to break through to break the scoreless deadlock.

PLAY OF THE GAME

Edmonton worked the ball down the left side of the field and eventually Jake Keegan is sent in down the wing. Keegan cuts the ball into the box where Nik Ledgerwood meets it, but his one-time shot goes sailing over the crossbar.

SAVE OF THE GAME

Midway through the first half, Nik Ledgerwood makes a crunching tackle in midfield, springing an Edmonton counter-attack. The ball ends up being played to Dustin Corea at the top of the penalty area. His low shot is heading for the bottom corner, but Puerto Rico goalkeeper Trevor Spangenberg gets a hand on the shot to knock it away.
