St. Louis and Vancouver meet at the junction between forward pressure and possession, with runners around the box testing the visitors' defensive organisation. Galaxy and Portland face a similar contest through different routes: crosses into a central striker at one end, wide carries and cutbacks at the other. In both matches, the important detail is what happens after the first pass or clearance, when a second receiver can turn an attack into a close-range chance.
