The weather was reminiscent of the conditions in which Mike Petke led RSL to its first win last season in his RSL coaching debut on April 8 against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
This time, RSL claimed the lead in the fourth minute on a penalty kick and was able to hold onto it for the remaining 86.
Rusnák leaned back, surveying the goal with his weight on his right foot. He began his approach, accelerating as he went. And then with a strong feint, he stopped and tapped a shot right down the middle.
