Herriman • During Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup game between Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles Football Club at Rio Tinto Stadium — a game RSL lost badly — a couple of familiar faces sat in the crowd. Faces that bring good memories to fans in Salt Lake City. Faces that represent an era in which RSL was a perennial playoff team, a force to be reckoned with, a constant championship contender.
Jason Kreis and Jeff Cassar — both of whom have been head coaches of RSL — watched Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman compete, just as they had back in 2009, when RSL won its first and only Major League Soccer title.
