The Real Salt Lake win moved them close enough to the Western Conference playoff group that they can smell it. D.C. United’s loss signaled that they need to start right away showing everyone their future players. That should perk things up for the season’s remainder.
Scoring Breakthrough
Saturday night’s game got flooded out in the 28th minute, while United looked defensively strong. Resuming Sunday night, Salt Lake broke through to make one of their five on-target shots count in the 64th minute after a bad clear.
That’s when Real Salt Lake F Luis Silva caught the intercepted and hit a long volley into the net.
