Phil Neville lauds “different class” Gonzalo Higuain off bench in Miami win over Red Bulls

“Especially at home, we’re starting to play good football,” Lassiter said. “We’re starting to know when and where we can attack, good possession of the ball when we can and we’re getting clear opportunities to score so once one goes I feel like we have the players to make it two, three, four. So it’s just a matter of defending well, staying organized, making sure that we give ourselves an opportunity to win each game.”

Miami are one point below the playoff line. The Herons have picked up results against two of the Eastern Conference’s best with a midweek draw at Philadelphia and the win over the Red Bulls. At DRV PNK Stadium, they are 3-0-1 in their last four matches in Fort Lauderdale. 

“There’s a great spirit and togetherness and there’s a great belief that we’re heading in the right direction,” Neville said. “We’re now beginning to make DRV PNK a little bit of a tough place to go where it’s been easy for teams in the past.”
