The Knee Jerk: RSL vs Austin FC

RSL had ten, maybe fifteen, minutes of quality soccer this afternoon.

Then there was atrocious passing, poor midfield control, and a lot of turnovers. A defense that continues to disappoint.

All against the Western Conference’s worst team with no realistic playoff hopes.

Mastoeni made some decent substitutions that almost put RSL back into the match, but then Josh Wolf countered and took all of the coal out of the steam engine.

It was a flat performance. Boring. Uninspired. Julio was alive and everywhere, Rubin subbed in and made a difference, but we caught Ruiz on one of his backswings of form.
