It appeared Real would be able to take the full three points, but in the 93rd minute, Diego Rubio headed in a pass from Žan Kolmanič to tie the game at one.
RSL (4-9-3, 15 points) continued its streak without a win that has grown to six contests, dating to a 3-1 decision on the road vs. San Diego FC on April 26.

'They were sending seven guys in the box, and we just didn't execute on one of them the right way,' said RSL head coach Pablo Mastroeni. 'Unfortunately, it just takes one moment in football, and we were really unfortunate we weren't able to come away with the three points.'

Real Salt Lake surrendered a goal in the 89th minute on Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver.
Austin ended up with four shots on goal to three for RSL, with three of the Verde's chances coming in the final seven minutes.
Austin had the match's first scoring chance in the 22nd minute when Osman Bukari worked hard to get the ball deep into the zone before passing to Brandon Vazquez, whose header clanged off the crossbar and out of harm's way.
RSL's Pablo Ruiz tested Stuver in the 26th minute with a low percentage shot from just outside the box that the Austin keeper gobbled up. The Verde's Jon Gallagher countered with his team's first shot on goal in the 31st minute, challenging Rafael Cabral with a left-footed shot that was easily saved.

The sides combined for 12 shots in the first half, seven of them by the visitors, and each produced just one shot on goal.

'I think it's a really good performance to build on,' Mastroeni said. 'I think they're rallying around the the difficult moments, the suffering that we're going through, and still performing away from home at a really, really high level.'
RSL next heads to L.A. to battle the Galaxy Saturday night at 8:30 p.m.

Nation's No. 1 LB Makes Major Commitment Announcement
Nation's No. 1 LB Makes Major Commitment Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns just made their defense a lot better. Tyler Atkinson, the 247Sports' No. 1 linebacker in the 2026 class, landed on heading to Austin in a live commitment on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Tuesday afternoon. Advertisement 'All four schools, it's just been a blessing for them to be pouring into me,' Atkinson said. 'I wish I could play for all four schools. … For the next three to four years, I'll be attending the University of Texas.' Atkinson's other finalists were Clemson, Georgia and Oregon. He's stood out on the gridiron his entire prep career and has undeniable stats. 'Highly-productive inside linebacker that can emerge as the soul of a defense with his instincts and athleticism,' 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins wrote in a scouting report. 'Must keep improving play strength and get better at attacking college-sized linemen, but should be viewed as a playmaking second-level defender that can rack up stops all over the field.' Five-star linebacker recruit Tyler Atkinson© Lori Schmidt / Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Ivins likens Atkinson to Baltimore Ravens tackling machine Roquan Smith, who's registered over 100 stops in each of his seven NFL seasons and was named a first-team Associated Press All-Pro each of the past two go-rounds. Advertisement Atkinson was named the MaxPreps National Junior of the Year last season after posting 166 takedowns, 32 tackles for loss, 46 quarterback hits, 13 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. He was a MaxPreps All-American as both a freshman and sophomore. 'I'm a chess piece linebacker. I do everything, when it comes to being on the edge, dropping into coverage,' Atkinson said. 'I have great hands. I used to do boxing. … It just takes the linebacker to the next level.' Atkinson had spent time training in Austin over the past two summers, including workouts with Derrick Johnson and Anthony Hill Jr. "It's been great," Atkinson said of working with Johnson. "DJ, he's very intentional on his training, teaching the small details on things and it's just great to talk to him and train with him." This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

The wait is over for Texas and Arch Manning, though quarterback admits it wasn't easy being backup
ATLANTA (AP) — Arch Manning admits now that going from highly sought-after high school recruit to the Texas backup quarterback wasn't an easy transition. 'This is not really a big deal, but I played every year in high school,' Manning said on Tuesday at SEC Media Days. "It was a 2-A high school. That doesn't mean anything, but from sitting out and not playing, that was pretty tough." Advertisement The son of Cooper Manning, the grandson of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the nephew of Super Bowl-winning QBs Peyton and Eli Manning passed for 939 yards and nine touchdowns and ran for four touchdowns last season but saw only limited playing time after September behind Quinn Ewers. Manning could have seen the field earlier had he gone elsewhere. But in an era where college athletes have newfound maneuverability thanks to the transfer portal — and the ability strike lucrative deals at interested schools — the quarterback chose to ride it out. '(Transferring) never really crossed my mind,' Manning said. 'I knew Texas was the place I wanted to be. It was the city I wanted to be in, a great education. I had friends there. I was still developing and growing as a football player and a person. So I never really wanted to leave. If there was somewhere else I wanted to be, I would have gone.' Two years since first arriving in Austin, his days of watching offensive possessions from the sideline is likely behind him. Ewers moved on and up, drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round in April, passing the torch to the newest playmaker in one of football's most famous families. Advertisement Manning's confidence masks the simple fact that the most talked-about player in college football has played in just 12 career games going into the Aug. 30 season-opener at Ohio State, the defending national champion and the team that beat the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl last January. Now that the wait is over, coach Steve Sarkisian thinks he is ready. 'He's got an unbelievable work ethic. And I think, if he stays true to himself, that's going to help him navigate these waters as they present themselves,' Sarkisian said. 'I think he's prepared for the moment, but now it's just time for him to go do it and enjoy doing it quite frankly.'
