That right there was the third minute of last night’s Real Salt Lake-New England match. What you see is Benny Feilhaber (who is legally in an offside position as he received the ball directly from a goal kick) streaking through on goal, appearing to get tangled up with RSL defender Nat Borchers, and going down.
