SANDY, Utah (Saturday, March 18, 2017) – An early first-half goal from FW Yura Movsisyan didn’t prove to be what Real Salt Lake needed to keep the three points after a second-half surge from the LA Galaxy.
RSL got out to a commanding start, putting the Galaxy on its heels early and creating multiple chances within the first 20 minutes. RSL youngsters FW Brooks Lennon and FW Sebastian Saucedo provided the early spark RSL needed to get their goal.
In a series of combinations in the corner of the field, Lennon found the feet of MF Albert Rusnák who delivered a beautiful cross that found the head of Movsisyan who’s snap header flew past Galaxy goalkeeper Clement Diop for the game’s opening goal.
