“RSL got midfielder "Sunny" back after a 13-match layoff and center-back Chris Schuler moved up from USL. Two reinforcements at a crucial point in the season.”

“It was a disappointing week for RSL after a good series of results had the team within striking distance of the West’s elite. Wednesday’s 3-3 draw at home against LA will be remembered for the team’s comeback from 3-1 down, but Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Portland was simply disappointing. Despite being one of MLS’ better teams, RSL hasn’t gone more than three games without a loss since April 16th.”
