This RSL match almost a exact copy of the DC United match last night. Play well, but aren’t sharp, waste chances, run out of gas about 70 minutes in. Fall apart.
I think that I heard during the Galaxy game that 5 of the 6 goals scored this round were after the 65′ mark.
The teams from Mexico appear to be the sharper more enduring teams at this stage.
