00:00They really want to be a front-footed team, high-pressing team, physical team on both sides of the ball.
00:04So looking forward to how this same group comes out today.
00:07Talking to him earlier this week, and so not only does he produce, but he respects a defensive battle,
00:11which I'm sure the Lions underneath him really respect as well.
00:14...and the black kits. It's the white kits for Colorado Springs.
00:18Brennan Creek puts the ball in play, and here we go on a Friday night in Leesburg, Virginia.
00:23Loudon and Colorado Springs collide for the fifth all-time meeting.
00:27It bounces down for Davis. He's able to push it through the area, but that's as far as it goes.
00:33It bounces back out. It's Abukura. Drifts in. Abukura strikes, and on a hop, it's smothered by Herrera.
00:47Winds the field with this pass.
00:50De Koto in bed. It heads!
00:57Corey Bennett breaks the scoreless drought.
01:01His first goal since July 22nd starts the switchbacks in front, 1-0.
01:09...scored in the 18th minute.
01:12What a goal that was, and what an absolute quality service this is.
01:16Recognize time and space.
01:19Everybody getting a piece of the action here for the switchbacks in the attack.
01:23Jamison loops it towards the back post.
01:26Late arriving header bounces twice as it misses the target.
01:30And that was Jabari De Koto.
01:33Funnels it out wide.
01:35Awuwa chases.
01:37Awuwa with Abukura on the overlap.
01:41Abukura waits.
01:42Where does he go from here?
01:44Abukura, drift past the first.
01:45Pounds it in.
01:46It bounces to Watts.
01:48He ricochets off the defender.
01:50Three men on the deck.
01:51Ultimately, it's loose.
01:52It pops for Davis.
01:53He bounces it past the keeper.
01:55And scores the equalizer.
02:03...
02:08In a crowd, Eddie Davis introduces him.
02:16In the first half, whistle blows right there.
02:20Pretty entertaining first half, but a stalemate through 45.
02:23Slams the brakes on, rolls it out wide.
02:27Kielberg across, sends it in.
02:29Back out, Creek settles.
02:35Rocha heaves it in.
02:36It takes a bounce.
02:38Bandray punches it.
02:40Fjellberg cleans it up.
02:45Second straight match with a go-ahead goal for Jonas Fjellberg.
02:502-1 switchbacks.
02:53Yeah, Colorado doing statistically what they do best,
02:56and that's production from the wide services.
02:59And that doesn't always mean production into their attacking third.
03:02With Colorado Rapids 2 this season,
03:05they're both now on different sides.
03:07Here's Watts.
03:08Back for Davis.
03:09Davis drills.
03:10Davis throttles the threads.
03:19What a response from Loudon and Watts.
03:23What is the timing and the run that Davis made to get in front of his defender.
03:26His prep touch was perfect, and then his finish was absolutely quality.
03:29And he's in on it again.
03:30Look out here.
03:31He takes one great touch.
03:32A second touch does not get past Herrera.
03:36Fans appeal for a penalty.
03:37They do not hear one.
03:41Ian Gabiri whiffs and actually doesn't hurt him in the end.
03:45He spins.
03:46He twirls.
03:47He falls.
03:47He stumbles and pokes it down the field.
03:50Davis is in again.
03:51Eddie Davis, denied by Herrera, comes out with a strong right hand.
03:58Corner kick coming up here.
04:01Cross comes in.
04:02It skims off of the first man, bounces off of the shoulder,
04:05and rolls out for a corner.
04:12A slide from Akinode, picked up by Watts, punches it in.
04:17Davis, hat trick.
04:23Eddie Davis sizzles the strings.
04:27Loudon lead for the first time.
04:33Cross bends in.
04:35It hits the post.
04:38Di Cotto nearly tied the score.
04:46Once again, putting the ball in a dangerous area.
04:49It is the hardest ball for a goalkeeper.
04:55Mazareka drives past the first man,
04:58tucks it to the middle, and it's an equalizer.
05:02Mazareka with a great drive in.
05:04Brennan Creek strikes.
05:06Will get to it.
05:07Takes the flick.
05:09Maples shuts it down for the moment.
05:11Amukura, second chance at it.
05:14Amukura, right past Maples.
05:17Curls it across.
05:18It takes two bounces.
05:19It hits the nets.
05:24In the wide areas, and so reflecting back even on this game is to find details of the individual moments,
05:30even behind the ball, the 1v1 duels, denying the crosses, showing them wide, keeping them wide.
05:35Mazareka already has an assist in this one.
05:38Mazareka drives.
05:39It bounces through.
05:40It is an equalizer.
05:44Elvis Amo, in his switchbacks debut, against his former side, ties the score at 4.
05:57What a performance.
06:04Here goes Corey Bennett.
06:07He's been quiet since he scored the opener in this game.
06:10Driss passed the first man.
06:12Cuts back.
06:12Gets taken down.
06:13Penalty awarded.
06:15Well, Murphy also picked up a second yellow card for that foul, so he is sent off.
06:21He's done for the day.
06:23And more importantly, he concedes a penalty that might end this game.
06:33Corey Bennett looks to win it for the switchbacks.
06:36Bennett blasts.
06:38Bandrae gets a paw on it, but it sneaks past and strikes the net.
06:46The golden boot lead has come.
06:48Knocked away by Amo.
06:50Full-time whistle blows.
06:52A wild ride of an evening in the USL Championship watches Colorado Springs score twice in second
07:02half stoppage time to stun Loudon.
