There is no questioning the success of Real Salt Lake’s 2016 season thus far. With five matches left to play, RSL is in the thick of the playoff hunt while boasting an unbeaten home record and a road record that ranks among the league’s best. After missing the playoffs in 2015 for the first time since 2007, the club is in a much more familiar position, fighting for playoff positioning rather than contention.
How RSL is able to respond in those final five matches of the regular season will go a long way towards determining how General Manager Craig Waibel views the season, though.
