Nick Rimando made two saves in Real Salt Lake’s 2-1 win over Atlanta United FC on Friday. Those saves gave Jefferson Savarino the opportunity to score the winning goal in stoppage time on a stunning strike from 20 yards out. They meant three points for Real Salt Lake against the defending MLS Cup champions and three consecutive wins.
Those two saves – one in each half – meant much more than that though.
They also meant Allstate, Univision Deportes and the RSL Foundation would donate $2,000 to the Sugarhouse Boys and Girls Club as part of the Every Save Makes a Difference program.
