Murphy for St Louis city too talked about how his team and his players he wants them high and wide so it looks like a 4-4-2 but the two outside midfielders he wants them high off the outside backs to give the outside backs the opportunity to move forward as well coach Murphy in his first year with City two said it's been a learning process what in his last team in League two with Omaha he said that style play was very similar but it's been the vocabulary changes that he's had to get used to coaching with this St Louis city system hi Michael vencel stepping off his line to get a touch on that ball throwing off real monarchs who are now pinned back in St Louis city too first team in St Louis sitting at the top of the MLS standings right now in the Western Conference this style of play has worked really well for St Louis city and in their High Press and their ability to get their Fords on the ball but also connect and win the ball high up the field in the attacking third and high percentage chance areas where they can take shots many opportunities and they're closer to goals so more of them result in goals for City two goals so far this season they've conceded 26 sitting at the bottom of the standings not able to get the results that they want to however coach Murphy happy with the style of play City 2 being fouled they're attacking third and it'll be a restart from Faisal batashi over the ball for St Louis city too looking to use his left foot to find somebody Inside the Box batashi not able to connect a little too much on that ball inside the 18. a tithing try

leaving his back line to find the back of the net for the first time in this game to go up by two real monarchs had no idea that Sergio Rivas was stepping so high and as that ball comes in Wellings doesn't see the pressure Rivas finds side netting nothing Delgado can do in that moment St Louis city too doing a good job picking and choosing their moments to put pressure whenever real monarchs have their back to the rest of the field two goals for St Louis city two in the opening 22 minutes we all rather St Louis city 2's first goal happened in the second minute of play then in the 22nd minute of play another result for City 2. coach Murphy talked about the loss to Austin earlier this week saying he felt like the team had dominated in areas they had a lot of players from the first team rather eight players from the first team in the lineup saying that it was the priority was making sure those types of players got their minutes if it's been some of the inconsistency with players on the field that didn't result in a result for City two [Music] [Applause] [Music] this portion of the match is brought to you by Zion's Bank official Bank of real monarchs all right Bobby Pierre

field Bradley Gibbs on his right foot looking to play it inside Delgado to get there first City 2 does not mess around when it comes to the quick restarts and wanting to be high flying they want to get as many numbers for it and keep the ball in the attacking half and you can see even in the quick restarts after a foul it happened so quickly that real marks have to be aware of those big balls over the top their back line in Alba and Pierre have to be aware and communicating often Williams trying to get there can't do so City two then it's intercepted again [Music] and a foul again on real monarchs City 2 looking for a build up quick closure by Wellington and as vencil tries to get in between the two players just gets taken down there so it's another set piece for Itachi send in swinger

it sins real monarchs running they keep the ball with a throw in dribbling just inside the 18 it's across inside no one's far post to pick it up good idea by Garcia to go 1v1 out wide looking for a Target nobody is there for real monarchs McGuire with the throw-in in his own defensive half for City too come on [Applause] male monox looking to get that pressure from City 2 to pull out City two out of certain Pockets trying to find more players Delgado not able to reach his teammate with that long ball thing both of these sides have struggled with in this game is not having true nines on the field Karen Williams playing in the nine for real monarchs however he's normally a Winger he has the speed he likes to be down the right side however he's playing in the nine because he can hold up the ball the ball rather for City two they don't have any real nines on the field either typical wide players midfielders looking to compensate Riley Gibbs though he's getting his first start coming back from injury pleasing that true nine but still working back getting fresh from his injury earlier this season the defensive play by City 2 real monarchs again with another corner kick [Music]

played up the pitch again looking to find Gibbs sending Gibbs running not able to get there all of our city to stay in The Possession 30 minutes into rather just over 30 minutes into the first half City two have dominated this game non-possession but quickly in transition they've had moments to score goals in real monarchs not been able to capitalize on their few chances in the attacking third because of the defensive pressure of City 2. this portion of the match is presented by makers line exclusive construction partner of real monarchs really hard tackle from Palazzolo Wellington gets taken down the middle of the field and it's a yellow card to Palazzolo Wellington slow to get up but it's a lot of pressure unnecessarily and Palazzolo Palazzolo stepping off of his line as Wellington receives the ball with his back to Palazzolo it's way too much of a reach gets more of the player than he does the ball good decision by the referee to give him the yellow card you can see the defensive structure of City two two players sitting High and the rest of the numbers dropping back to make sure that this ball inside gets cleared and it does just that going back into the feet of Bobby Pierre for a quick restart here getting wide creating an option for Delgado to play out of ball in behind it's a quick touch and it's a shot right at Creek looking to keep it as dental and now Creek clears it high and wide out of a dangerous area for City too great one by Vasquez it's not able to get there in time and get a good shot we all monarchs with opportunity in behind as it goes

2's defensive half mile monarchs head coach Jameson olave spoke about the loss of the White Caps Thursday night saying real marks need to crash the attacking third a little bit more they were a little too quick to finish and they would lose the ball way too quickly so being more methodical once they get into the attacking third see twos turn in the attacking third defensively track backed and recovered by Garcia turned into another corner kick for Cindy too an outswinger from McGuire rather batashi batashi inside and it's cleared by real monarchs out of their own 18 City tube with way too much pressure real Monarch's now looking for a quick restart after that foul just outside the 18. real monarchs now with many good looks on frame here tonight they've had opportunities to build out

coach Murphy talked about him saying he was a really smart player really smart person he's a massive chess player and loves classical music really smart player reads the game really well does a good job of keeping the play in front of him but he also brings speed to this back line and good partnership next to vinsel Delgado with the goal kick for real monarchs this portion of the match is presented by University of Utah health trusted Health partner for the real monarchs family and yours okay foreign [Applause] to go quickly in transition Armstrong down the flank and a Sly tackled by real monarchs does a good job in Alba just to keep that one out the first 20 minutes City 2 had many opportunities on friend they've found themselves in the attacking third their ability to be so high pressing showed a lot and real monarchs had no answer now as we settle more into the first half 40 minutes in less from City two now we're seeing more shot left footed shot in its goal Juan kazane with his second goal of the Season making that run inside the 18 sees that ball across his body with a great finish foreign [Music] does a good job of seeing that he can make that run across the 18.

Midfield however they're struggling to break out of the Midfield ground marks have to find themselves in the pockets that City 2 isn't living in which means once they play the ball they have to find themselves in the next right pocket mental all the way up the field till Delgado Elgato using his feet to play out to Omar Alba [Music] Alba over the top intercepted by City 2. [Applause] [Applause] William's not able to stay on the ball a lot of contact and it's a foul on City 2. one minute of stoppage time remaining rather one minute Savage time in the first half two minutes remaining in the first half now Mark's looking to restart it [Music] Michael Creek over the ball Michael Creek played at Missouri State University originally from St Louis this season has made
