Real Salt Lake have yo-yoed this season: draw, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss. The team is eight games into the season and only have 10 points to show for it. It’s not an ideal situation. Orlando has a 5-2-1 record, 18 points, and sit in third in the eastern conference.

Gelling attack

There are some games when the attack doesn’t have any kind of spark, and others where it feels very much alive. Some of this is due to the inconsistent lineup. Injuries abound, so Plata and Luis Silva have both missed games. Ortuño seems to have fallen off the map.
