Sandy • Real Salt Lake came away with a hard-fought 2-1 win against the defending champion Atlanta United on Friday at Rio Tinto Stadium thanks to an extra-time goal from Jefferson Savarino.
The result brought RSL’s winning streak to three games, scoring eight goals in that span. Atlanta has now lost two consecutive matches.
Savarino’s goal came in the 93rd minute and was from well outside the 18-yard box. The crowd erupted as his bullet found the back of the net.
Saucedo let it rip in the 36th minute. His second goal of the season looked much like his first just last week.
