“Jeff Cassar's team fought to a good draw against league leaders FCD, but there is a troubling lack of goals; RSL have now gone three games without scoring.”

“A 0-0 draw against FC Dallas makes it three games in a row that RSL has been shut out, a worrying trend for a team looking to avoid having to play a one-off knockout game away from home in the playoffs. Right now, it’s looking likely that RSL will play a first-round game against Kansas City in an MLS Cup 2013 rematch.”
