He lacked his usual energy, and I blame the dental surgery. I would have been tempted to go with Baudet as man of the match. He neutralized everything in the air, made up for Moor's anxious play and wasn't afraid to stand up DeRosario when the latter had the ball at his feet. It takes some nervy play to win two straight 1-0 games when your team lacks a player who can kill a game. Credit to the defense for staying cool, and Baudet seems to be a big part of the calm.
