12 out of 14, maybe 13. No lineup. It wasn't clear what the VAR review was on the PK (DOGSO red maybe?), but since it didn't change the call my grade might be harsh.

Weird to see some players congratulate their teammates when they score, but not others when they score...ijs

So, does anyone know what led to the free kick that led to the goal at the start of these "highlights?"

Where has Makenna Morris been all this time?

Giraldez is trying to implement his Game Idea (the one he had at Barcelona FC). Laterals in Long and well Open by the Lanes, use a Diamond in the Three-Quarter Zone, use High Pressure, Long Possessions with Overturned Lines in Zone Two, Timing and be Vertical (when the rival leaves spaces); implement Fast Withdrawals and with Tactical Order. Your Plan is barely under construction. But it requires at least 6 more months to fully develop it. The most complicated thing will be to include Rupture Demarcations and millimetric Percussions towards Zone 14.

I understand that Bay is a new team and under construction. But it still has many defects, especially it lengthens the lines and tends to fracture. Time will tell if he can improve but he is having a decent campaign, considering that he has weak Automations given the short time he has been working with his Trainer.
