(SOC) Gator Soccer hosts Miss St

About 15 minutes into it: no score. UF has more possession, but passing is inaccurate and MSU has gotten a couple of breakaways.

 

After 20 minute, UF defense doesn't organize itself (again) and gives up a goal. MSU 1-0

 

1st half summary: MSU 1-0.

MSU was just better in their final third. They consistently got numbers forward and made better passes in front of the goal.

UF passing is inaccurate in both weight and bearing. It's not unexpected this year, but it is the reason they struggle in the final third (unless they get a breakaway). Defense (and midfield) needs to rise up to MSU's challenge.

MSU jumped out 3-0 on Tennessee in their last game, then faded on defense in the last 15 minutes and tied 3-3. UF is only down by one. Hopefully, the Gators can make something happen in the 2nd half.

 

Final: MSU 1-0
Stalemate in the 2nd half. Defense played well. Just no offense consistency, and won't be any until midfield/forward passing improves.
