"I'm definitely frustrated because the ball didn't go in the net," said Movsisyan. "I've got to do a better job of putting the ball in the back of the net because I had enough chances to do it."

Ironically enough, the only chance RSL finished wasn't even its own.

In the 71st minute, second-half substitute Dema Kovalenko hammered a hard shot in the box, but Chicago defender Bakary Soumare miscleared it right into the back of his own net.

Asked about it afterward, Kovalenko down played the moment, switching the focus to the outcome.

"This is not going to happen like this. This is a new team like (Jason Kreis) said, this is new players, and this is not going to happen again," he said. "This is not acceptable. We have to do better than that. We can't hang our heads and get disappointed. We've just got to work harder this week, go to Chivas and work better."
