Houston Dynamo v CF Montreal: Olsen concedes host are gassed after hectic schedule - Soccer News
Briefly

After competing in seven matches in May, Houston Dynamo's coach Ben Olsen noted his team's fatigue, particularly after their recent 3-1 home defeat to Sporting Kansas City. Despite having numerous chances, the Dynamo couldn't convert, leading to frustration about their fixture scheduling. Olsen pointed out that they faced teams without mid-week games multiple times, contributing to their tired performance. Meanwhile, CF Montreal continues to struggle, losing 3-0 to New England Revolution, further impeding their season as they sit at the bottom of the standings.
There was a lot going on in that game. On one side, we had 22 shots, nine on target with some of those really good opportunities. Bunch of corners and crosses. We should certainly be scoring more with the chances we had.
We're tired. They didn't have a Wednesday game. That is the third time this month we've played a team that has not had a Wednesday game, so I don't understand that.
We look tired. And even the guys we rested. For 25 minutes, we looked sharp, and then we started to get gassed, and it was a combination of gassed and complacency.
Their struggles this season continued against the New England Revolution last time out, losing 3-0 to bring up their 11th defeat from 17 games this campaign.
