It was the first goal of the season for Rusnak who has been struggling leading up to RSL’s road clash against the Seattle Sounders.
The penalty kick was called after Seattle’s goalkeeper tripped up Rubio Rubin inside the 18-yard box. Rusnak took the penalty kick and went to his left, beating the keeper as he went low while the shot went high. The score was tied at one apiece in the 79th minute.
