Player Ratings: Real Salt Lake 1-3 San Diego FC

A poor showing from RSL led painfully into to damning stoppage time against MLS newcomers San Diego FC.

Player Ratings: Real Salt Lake 1-3 San Diego FC
  • Cabral (GK) — 5: Not good enough from the veteran. Given the volume of defensive mistakes we’ve seen on the team, there’s some responsibility with the goalkeeper, too.
  • Brown (RB) — 5.5: Not a great match from Javain Brown, who ended up completely lost on San Diego’s first goal.
  • Glad (CB) — 5: We should expect more from the longest-serving RSL player, who just wasn’t on when it really mattered.
  • Quinton (CB) — 5: Very poor showing from Quinton.
  • Katranis (LWB, off 55’) — 4.5: One of Katranis’s worst matches at the club. He essentially played as a left winger who sometimes dropped into the defensive line. He’s a very good left wing back, but he’s a mediocre winger. Get him back in the defensive line and we’ll see better from him starting in deeper positions.
  • Ojeda (CM) — 5.5: Fine.
  • Eneli (CM) — 6.5: Didn’t have a goal to his name, but it’s clear he can be a differentiator in this league.
  • Marczuk (RW) — 6.5: He had a really lovely assist in the first half for Ariath Piol’s goal with a great chested touch into space. He kind of disappeared afterward.
  • Luna (CAM) — 6: A middling night for RSL’s best player — some good moments, to be sure, but they were sparing.
  • Goncalves (LW) — 5.5: I don’t know about this guy. He had some nice passes, but the bad moments really overshadowed the good.
  • Piol (CF, off 70’) — 7: Had a really nice run and finish for his goal. Not involved enough otherwise, and he lost possession more than any other player.

Substitutes

  • Junqa (LB, on 55’) — 4: Katranis wasn’t good enough on the night, but Junqua was bad. Lost his player on the second San Diego goal then just wandered off in the box.
  • Wolff (RW, on 70’) — 5: A non-factor.
  • Ajago (CF, on 70’) — 5: He was good last match, but this time around, he looked over-confident. His two shots were in low-probability situations with better passing options.
  • Henry (RB, on 70’) — 6: He kept Ema Boateng from scoring, I guess. That’s something.
  • Hidalgo (RW, on 85’) — N/A: Not on long enough to rate.
