Well, Miguel Angel Portugal has admitted himself many times so far that his side hasn't defended set-pieces well. But what has really been lost in all of this focus on defending set-pieces is how atrocious they've been in attacking set-pieces too.

The Dynamos winning a free-kick in a good position, their tall guys lumbering forward to get into the box, the eventual delivery being nowhere close to the box or straight into the keeper's hands, tall guys walking back disgruntled - this has been the story of the season for the Dynamos so far.

There was more today with so many balls being nowhere close to acceptable from free-kicks and corners. They finally managed to get one right and guess what? They scored from it! Who knew?
