Real Salt Lake's agonizing 2-2 draw today against Orlando City SC left us scratching our heads a little bit.
For a team that looked so, so good in the last two matches (except, you know, when goals were conceded, but we've talked about that), the team went from looking like that to a hapless, goal-conceding wonder.
That quick transformation was actually not nearly as quick as it seemed: Throughout the second half, RSL looked like conceding. They were on the back foot, even as Joao Plata scored the second goal. Orlando was actively creating excellent chances, and the defense was happy to clear the ball for a corner or throw-in.
