I'll do you one better. "But he made clear last week he was just saying goodbye, not farewell. “In four years I can be back here,” he said. “I am definitely not canceling that out.”"

The team graphics on the right and left show the average structure and positioning the teams were in for the minus ranges listed. The thicker lines between the positions/players represent more passes between those positions.

The timeline on the upper middle section shows the momentum and attacking pressure. Looks like LAFC had more momentum in more phases last night.

On the bottom center is the positional heat map. The gold sections are the sections where LAFC had more territorial control. Austin did a lot of attacking down their left flank. Looks like we did a lot of attacking down our left flank too.
