Step 1: Get a lead
Step 2…Nov 6 Open postClaire Watkins @scoutripley.bsky.socialBlueskyUtah did so well that half to attack the exact area of Ascanio’s absence, especially with San Diego not going with a like for like replacement.

The Utah Royals are headed to the 2026 #NWSL Playoffs semifinals after upsetting the No. 2 seed San Diego Wave 1-0!Nov 7 Open postBlair Newman @secondball.bsky.socialBlueskyMy thoughts on San Diego 0-1 Utah
🌊 San Diego started at full intensity, exerting control & their customary "waves" of attacking pressure. It necessitates a response some teams don't have in them, that all-out bodies-in-front-of-ball box defence. Utah did that well.Nov 7 Open postUtah Royals FC @utahroyalsfc.comBlueskyQuarterfinal stats ⤵️
📰: tr.ee/SDvUTArecapQF266d Open postJason Anderson @jasondcsoccer.bsky.socialBlueskySan Diego has already produced 2 sequences where they just sliced through Utah like a training exercise. 1st broke down when Barcenas stopped running (didn't anticipate the move working), 2nd ends with McGlynn's crazy save.
That's a five-alarm fire for Utah.Nov 6 Open postCampbell @campbellb1234.bsky.socialBlueskyI cannot believe the most exciting playoff game so far was San Diego-Utah.
