Mike Petke offers apology to fans and owner after 'embarrassing' RSL defeat

After his side fell to a 5-1 loss against an LAFC team playing just its second match, the Real Salt Lake manager offered a sincere apology

Mike Petke has always been the type of manager to speak his mind, and after his Real Salt Lake side was put to the sword by Bob Bradley's expansion LAFC team, the manager's mind was seemingly on apologizing.

RSL took an early lead over LAFC but the club was trailing by halftime, and a second-half onslaught from Benny Feilhaber, Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi saw the home side fall to a 5-1 defeat.
