So I will ask this question of the #RSL fan base, has their been a bigger regular season win in team history than the 6-2 win over LA on Saturday? If so when?

Duck Takes To the Field
Around the 29th minute of the match, a wandering duck took the pitch and caused a stir by walking around and forcing the grounds crew (and some of the players) to chase him down. The duck’s invasion of the game caused a fire on social media.
We know soccer games have some controversial fowls but this is a little ridiculous, @RealSaltLake 😂 pic.twitter.com/eoF8u5xWyi

@RealSaltLake, can we get an update on the duck? Was he released? Did we sign him to a contract? Maybe trade him for some allocation money or another winger? #RSLDuck

@RealSaltLake Pretty sure Leo has some “fowl” competition for mascot. That duck was ready to throw down. #RSLduck

Watch out Leo the Lion, @RealSaltLake may have a new mascot! A duck went running full speed onto the field and tried its best to get in the match. It was having a good game, too, until the “goalie” blocked it on the side. #RSL

This duck went streaking on the pitch at Rio Tinto Stadium last night. He gave the @RealSaltLake grounds crew a run for their money. Nice assist from Albert Rusnak on the capture of the bird. #MLS @KSL5TV @SportsCenter pic.twitter.com/Fzl7JqJ5aZ
