FT Thoughts:
- Give Berhalter the ball

- Gauld, Muller and Cabrera together look siiilky
- Healthy CBs and this team looks unstoppable
- But another good performance from Priso

Assist from Muller.

#VWFC

#VWFC
HT Thoughts:
- Great to see Elloumi jump up with a goal
- Definitely a lazy Sunday feel to this one
- Priso is doing another solid job at CB; great goal line clearance early on
- Ahmed is a thorn in the Earthquakes' side along the left
- When do we see Gauld?
45+1' - π¨ - Cubas.
#VWFC
39' - GOAL - Elloumi sacrifices the body for the goal! Berhalter's free kick finds the young striker at the far post. He gets a foot on it as he also collides with the post.
#VWFC
29' - Almost an own goal off Berhalter's corner as Roberts knocks the ball into his GK. Priso attempts to jump on the loose ball but is unable.
#VWFC
18' - Ahmed surprises Kikanovic and gets a toe on Ocampo's ball into the 6-yd box.
#VWFC
16' - Ahmed moves the ball left to Muller, who quickly switches it to Berhalter. Berhalter turns, takes the ball on his left and shoots. Just wide of the far post.
#VWFC
12' - Great 1-2 played between Muller and Elloumi. Muller gets a solid shot off that makes Daniel work.
#VWFC
7' - Priso stops a Martinez header on the goal line.
#VWFC
Game on!
#vwfc
Priso is back as a CB, giving Halbouni a break on the bench after a number of matches starting.
Gauld is on the bench as well. Elloumi leads the line.
#VWFC
A win for #VWFC leapfrogs Minnesota. It also puts them within a point of San Diego with a game in hand.
The Supporters' Shield was claimed by the Philadelphia Union last night, so the goal for the 'Caps now is to finish as high as possible for the eventual playoffs.
#VWFC injuries:
- Adekugbe (Achilles)
- Blackmon (knee)
- Schonlau (Achilles)
- VeselinoviΔ (knee)
- White (hamstring)
Pupe and Sabbi are questionable.
San Jose injuries:
- Jones (lower body)
- Costa (lower body)
San Jose won the first match this season, a 2-1 game over #VWFC. But they've had difficulty recently, with only 1 win in their last 4 outings.
The 'Caps are undefeated in the last 8 across all competitions. Oddly enough, their last defeat was against San Jose on August 9.
