"We got a chance to play a lot of players in today's exhibition.  Guillem got his first start at goal playing the entire 90 minutes and I thought he was good.  Besides that, almost everyone got a break during the game so we able to play a lot of combinations and see what kind of form they were in.  After conceding the first goal, I was pleased with how we responded.  From the moment we tied it, we were on our front foot and created multiple chances and that's what we want to have, we will just need to be sharper with them." – Broncos head coach Cam Rast.  

 

 

• Twenty-two players saw action, one more than the first exhibition match against UC Davis.
