Actually SMU mustered more than two shots, as Jota saved at least two in this sequence:

Smith opened the scoring on a shot that the SMU keeper must have been screened.

Klinger to Kitahata.

Kitahata cleans up and gets the brace. Honestly Kohler’s shot did like 99% of the work (and might have trickled in anyways).

Last two goals by Smith and Evans

Like Kitahata’s goal, Evans’ was just the goalkeeper stopping the shot but unable to corral or clear it.

Fubo and espn is completely broken. ESPN says it fubo’s fault. We will see. But Fubo may be getting cancelled.
First goal is the dreaded cross on goal. Goalie really needs to play the ball, but they are afraid an attacker is going to get to it and they freeze. From the angle, it may to your point also be hard to see or hard to judge that it is on goal. Craig got caught on one of these last year. Tough situation for a goalie. You look like an idiot if you do decide to play the ball and an attacker does get to it….
But tough day overall for the SMU goalie; 2 other goals could have been stopped. Note I said could have not necessarily should have.
