RSL's Game-by-Game Top Performers

Since the year has come to a close for RSL, I have stopped voting and will be focusing on presenting some interesting stats throughout the next few weeks. If you have not noticed, you can view season stats and averages in the ratings section (the navigation bar close to to top). Also, you can check out each players individual stats and averages game-by-game by clicking their name. Lastly, stats I present will not include the US Open Cup game on 4/30. I will be clearing all stats and ratings associated with that game in the near future, so we will only see MLS regular season games.

Which RSL will finish the season in October?

Real Salt Lake has split up the season into three different trends (2 negative 1 positive).

The first 9 games of the season saw a slow starting team trying to gel. The first full off-season for Kreis and Lagerway featured more than half of the players not from the previous off-season roster. So, the slugglish start can be attributable to the team getting used of playing with one-another.

8 Points in 9 Games

Los Angeles Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake

In the first few minutes of the game, Espindola has a goal first given, then rescinded as refs conversed. Espindola does a back-flip in celebration, and ends up tweaking an ankle. Bryan Jordan gets a goal that started with one of Olave's few mistakes of the season. Yura finished a flick-on from Dr. 'Flick-Ons' to even up the score in the first half. Will Johnson has a one-two combo with Yura to free him up one-on-one with the keeper, and hits the ball off the post to put the score at 2-1 RSL.
