Espindola: One player can make a difference
I think Espindola is the missing link in Real Salt Lake's attack during this scoring drought - 2 goals since the start of June in league play (3rd goal was an own goal). The last game Espindola played was May 31st. He has 3 goals in 490 minutes (1 goal every 163 minutes), which is a better pace than FC Dallas' Kenny Cooper (8 goals in 1427 minutes - 1 goal every 178 minutes). With 8 games played and 8 games missed for Espindola, here are a couple team stats that show the difference as well.
Team Goals / Game
Espindola played: 1.75
Espindola DNP: 0.50
Points / Game
Espindola played: 1.375
Espindola DNP: 1.125
Also, he is in 4th place in the rankings on this site among players that have made an appearance in a league game (Chris Seitz has not). In the end, I am hopeful that he sees the pitch soon for RSL.
