MLS Week 6 Summary

RSL Game Summary:
What a great way to play on ESPN2! Despite drawing 1-1 on a pair of own goals, (first 1-1, two own goal draw in MLS history) RSL clearly dominated the game. Bouna Coundoul played great for Colorado, and if it weren't for him, RSL would've won the game handily. Adu created many chances for RSL and deserves to be commended. Also, it was very sweet to see that jerk Pablo Mastroeni score a goal for RSL....
