Somewhat encouraging performance, if only to enter the break on a high.

- First game where I really recognized *the* Jessie Fleming I feel like I've watched for years. Covered an insane amount of ground as usual --she was playing as a second striker, 10, and 8 all in one thanks in large part to Sinc's nothingness-- but the quality and confidence on the ball was there the entire game too, instead of just in spurts. Dropped a few long diagonal dimes as well. Really, really good, clear WOTM.

- Roller coaster of a Beckie game: Horrendous miss, about 20 bad giveaways, but should have had a hat trick of assists and was dangerous throughout.

- Obaze is already quite good and will be very good. I'm pretty confident about that.

- That was a very Santa Clara poacher-Izzy goal (and the exact Beckie ball that Sinc was too slow to multiple times in the first half). Happy she got her first rose!

- SD's interim hasn't changed a thing. Someone rescue Jaedyn pls.

- Soph just can't get Girma lol, Naomi knows aalllll her tricks!

- Good on the ref for sticking with her on-field decision on the VAR check. Should happen more.

To be blunt, she’s had to cover for Sinc most of the year and has been. The difference is that she utilized her passing skills more today than other games. Very encouraged by what we saw today.
