Tomas Aviles (C)

[KEN] Miller was impactful in the first half because the teenager was caught out of position or just beat on several occasions. Still, he improved as the match went on, playing the full 90 minutes. The key stat for Aviles, I believe, is 19; his age.

[MATT] I don't want to be too hard on Aviles as this was the first time he's played a full 90 since joining Inter Miami.

That said, Ken mentioned his age being a potential factor and that might be true. But he was signed for his aggressive play, youth and the experience he's already had in South America.

A lot of those factors were missing against New York and need to be found in a hurry.
