Eventful game for Musa & Colorado Springs at Monterey Bay. 
CS have players sent off at 59 & 64 mins. Despite being down to 9 men, they go 1-0 up at 77 mins.

But then concede at 89 & 94 mins. Both pens. It obviously all didn't amuse the Moose who becomes the 3rd CS player sent off at 95 mins.

Some rare mins for Brotherton, as Forward Madison (5th) draw 4-4 at Central Valley Fuego (12th/last).

Brotherton off the bench at 43 mins (2-2). FM concede 2 more goals, and get a player sent off to trail 4-2. However down a man they score twice to snatch a draw.

Excellent opportunity for Ryan Fuetz as he heads to the USA in hopes of landing a pro deal with Colorado Switchbacks.

Get the feeling he would have had a very prolific Central League campaign if he hadn't been in and out of Matchday squads towards the backend of West's campaign. As it was, and in the absence of more substantial statistics from out of the Central League, he still managed to hit double figures (10) at nigh on 1.2 goals per 90 over 12 appearances - all non penalty goals too.

Good luck to him. 🤞

No Collier for San Diego. A 1-1 draw.

No Linder for Caps II as they finish the season with a 3-3 draw. 
Caps II then lose the following pen shootout. Hopefully both him & Jay Herdman are fit and healthy for new season in 2024, and can push for first team MLS contracts.

I guess is a chance Herdman jnr could follow his old man to Toronto FC in the MLS, if he recovers well from his bad knee injury.

Musa starting for Colorado Springs.
Edit - full game 7 a yellow in a 3-0 win.

Slow start to the season for both Musa (missed alot of games) & CS. But the team are tracking nicely being 6th approaching the USL playoffs, with 3 consecutive wins.

Dyer 78 mins in a 5-2 win. Hartford the weakest team across the USL.

Dyer got the 3rd goal & an assist for the 4th goal.
His USL season now over. 21 starts in 29 games, 4 goals.
Goal output about half of what he was achieving in Canada's CPL.

Might be worth a look at by new Auckland ALM team as a squaddie. He'll be 27 in March next year.
14 Oct 01:13
Goal + Assist for Dyer to end the season for Tulsa.




Probably some of the softest defending you're likely to see all day as well.

No Zwetsloot as Pittsburgh draw 0-0 in Detroit. Pittsburgh win the Eastern Conference.

Charleston with a 1-0 win finish 3rd in the East. Wynne off the pine at 81 mins. No Randall.

Louisville with a 2-3 loss, finish 5th in the East. Full game Adams.

Colorado Springs with a 2-0 win finish 5th in the West. Full game Musa. 

San Diego with a 2-0 win in Sin City, finish 3rd in the West. No Collier.

Despite losing 0-1, Forward Madison finish 6th and get a playoff spot. Brotherton subbed off at 90 mins (0-1).

All the Kiwis in the top 2 USL leagues bar Dyer & Jackson Brady (who's barely featured for Cattanooga Red Wolves) are with teams in the playoffs.

Adams a full game as Louisville win on pens (1-1) NT in Memphis. Adams not required in the shootout.

Top placed Pittsburgh lose 0-1 to 8th placed Detroit. Bit brutal with no 2nd lives in the USL playoffs. No Zwetsloot, he hasn't played for awhile. He only started 6 games over the whole USL season (34 matches).

Musa full game for Colorado Springs in a 1-0 loss at San Antonio. 16 starts over 34 USL games for the Moose. Will be 32 in April next year.

Brotherton off at 69 mins (2-1), as Forward Madison lose 4-1 at Northern Colorado. Brotherton with 16 starts, from 32 USL matches.
