It’s been quite the weekend for Real Salt Lake supporters, who saw their first team give up a late lead with a 75th-minute equalizer to Toronto FC in a disappointing 2-2 draw in front of a sold-out Rio Tinto Stadium. It’s the third-straight match without a win for RSL, which exploded out of the gates.

But is the magic running out on a team that currently sits tied for second in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference?

Elsewhere, in RSL Land, the U-15s are on fire, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Generation adidas Cup in Dallas with a 1-0 win Tuesday night over Austin FC. Tony Ramirez scored the only goal of the match early, an easy finish from Zavier Gozo in the eighth minute, and Ty Rinker earned the shutout in goal for RSL.

”It was a nervous and difficult game,” RSL director of coaching Arnold Rijsenburg said. “I think [Austin FC] was the first opponent we played against who was physically stronger than we were. I think the lack of experience of [the U15s] made them nervous. They didn’t play the game we expected them to play, but they got the result. I think this was an important experience for them, and let's go to the next game.”
