Here’s hoping, right? A draw or a win against Seattle would knock Seattle out of surprise playoff contention, and while other results around the league could see us in despite a loss, let’s just say it doesn’t seem particularly sunny out here in Salt Lake County.
Can Real Salt Lake score more than a goal per game in the second half of 2016?
Real Salt Lake’s forwards, simply put, haven’t been scoring in buckets. Since July 1 — matchday 17 — they’ve scored a combined 10 goals.
- Yura Movsisyan: Three goals, three assists since July 1
- Joao Plata: Four goals, five assists since July 1
- Juan Manuel Martinez: Two goals, one assist since July 1
- Olmes Garcia: One goal, one assist since July 1 (also, all season)
- Jordan Allen: None since July 1 — although he’s played as a forward, midfielder and defender in that time.
