Do you have issues with still images, too? If so, it may be a lens issue.

The USM drive should be quick enough for soccer. Unfortunately I am not familiar with M5 AF. Did you use continous AF drive?

I don't have the same issues with images of still / non-moving subjects.  Photos are definitely a bit softer at f/2, but I'm usually shooting soccer around f/2.8-3.5 to increase DOF some and cut down on color fringing.

And yes, definitely using continuous AF!  I certainly feel like the AF can keep up, it's just that it would rather focus in things further away in the AF box. That's very strange AF behavior, since in my Canon experience the default AF seems to be "focus on whatever is closest to the camera." 🤔
