Week 7 Power Rankings
Week 7 of the Major League Soccer season brought its highs and lows to RSL’s game in the Mile High City, but the claret-and-cobalt ultimately left with the full 3 points. Two late goals from Yura Movsisyan and Brooks Lennon saw RSL take the lead in the 2017 Rocky Mountain Cup and earn its second win in as many games. Was RSL’s performance against the Rapids enough to bump them up the Power Rankings charts? Check out the Week 7 rankings and leave us a comment below:

“Getting two straight wins with all the injuries they are dealing with is quite a feat. This stretch will help Mike Petke's team down the line as some of the starters return.”

“Since Mike Petke took charge of Real Salt Lake, the team has won both of its games, the most recent being a 2–1 win at Rocky Mountain Cup rivals Colorado. Whatever Petke is doing, it seems to be working. The emergence of 19-year-old academy star (and Liverpool loanee) Brooks Lennon, who scored the winner against Colorado for his first pro goal, is another encouraging development.”
