For 60 minutes, RSL played like a team who knew what they were doing. Everybody was on the same page, everybody was communicating and there was a sense of excitement as we pressured Orlando time and time again. Then on the 60 minute mark, the wheels came off the bus and the same old Real Salt Lake showed up and I think I speak for so many of us when I say that it was crushing.
I made two predictions on Twitter as the game went on: that Baird was right to be the starting striker, and that Orlando would punish us if we couldn’t get a second goal and it’s bitter-sweet to me that I was right.
