Real Salt Lake was up 2-0 and down to 10 men on the road against Orlando City SC on Sunday, but settled for a 2-2 draw on two stoppage-time goals from the home side. With that result (and apparently the Champions League results as well), here is how the folks at the league site picked the Claret and Cobalt.

“Three matches into 2016, and RSL have now had three late breakdowns. This is a pattern of conceding late goals that extends back into 2015. They really, really need it to stop.”

“Not injured from the start of the season this time, Plata made good on his clean health with a goal on either side of halftime, but RSL collapsed late to lose two points on the road to Orlando.”

“RSL had a victory snatched away from them on the road in Orlando. On one hand, they were in position, in added time, to win. On the other, the failure of concentration from 2-0 up doesn't augur well for the season.”
