Real Salt Lake recovered a point on the road against FC Dallas, with the visitors giving up an early goal, affording the match an early sense of dread. But an Anderson Julio substitute’s goal negated that, with the Ecuadorian striker providing heroics, as is his wont.
The first half went about as well as can be expected from RSL on the road, with the team conceding in the 7th minute to an Alan Velasco goal. It was a poor moment defensively from RSL, who struggled to deal with action in their box.
The opening 45 continued with RSL putting more shots forward, including a great chance from Jefferson Savarino that stung the goalkeeper’s gloves and a Pablo Ruiz signature shot from distance that skimmed the crossbar.
