Frisco, Texas • The cross made it past a sliding Justen Glad, but Marcelo Silva hit it squarely, right past Nick Rimando and into his own goal. It hit the back of the net so hard that it bounced right back to Silva. Frustrated, he threw it back into the goal.
RSL’s first goal showed off the best parts of its attack. Striker Luis Silva pulled up to help on a throw in, and he laid a pass off to Damir Kreilach. The Croatian midfielder found Albert Rusnák in the middle, and RSL pushed up behind him, shifting the play into Dallas’ half of the field.
