“They've been one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch for several months, but there was little hope of post-season success with FC Dallas being the juggernaut they were. With FCD's collapse, it should be fun to see if these young stars can lift RSL above the playoff line for good."

“If it feels like Jefferson Savarino is involved in every RSL goal, it's because he almost is. In the 2-0 win over Seattle, he finished off a one-two combo beautifully for RSL's first and then helped set up the second.”

“Only TFC has posted more points per game since the start of August, and RSL is 7-2-3 since the beginning of July. Venezuelan forward Jefferson Savarino, 20, has two goals and an assist during RSL’s two-game win streak.”
