Real Salt Lake vs. Colorado Rapids: One winner, seven losers from 2-1 loss

I’m livid. Let’s chat.

Winner: Albert Rusnak

He scored a very nice goal. His trajectory continues to improve. That’s good.

Loser: Nick Besler

I actually don’t think this game is really on Nick Besler. When you basically only have one player in the midfield, you’re going to have a bad time. We had a bad time.

Loser: Andrew Putna

Putna laid a bit of an egg in this one. He wasn’t directly responsible for either goal given up, but he didn’t instill confidence. In fact, I wonder if he’s fully fit — he’s famously got a powerful left foot, but with time running out and half our team in the opposition half, he dropped the ball right at Noah Powder’s feet.
