FC Rapperswil-Jona Overview

The 20-year-old South African defender was back in Gregg Berhalter's starting eleven after being rested for Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Red Bull New York. But it was his fellow countryman who had the critical impact in winning the penalty that ultimately led to the Men In Red taking the lead.

The centre-back's move from the Soweto giants to the USA may have divided opinion in the coaching dugout, but there is no debating the financial windfall the young defender has secured. The South Africa international has traded the PSL for Major League Soccer in a deal that has catapulted him into a different stratosphere of wealth.

The 20-year-old South African defender will be disappointed again as he could not help the Men in Red see out a chaotic game where his team were unable to capitalize on a man advantage, nor profit from a 90th minute penalty, as they conceded at the death to to slip to defeat at Soldier Field.

The 20-year-old South African defender will be disappointed he could not help his team see out the game and secure the win over their Western Conference rivals that would have seen them through to the quarterfinals of America's premier cup competition.
