Herriman • In his final start of the 2018 season, Nick Besler scored his first goal of his Major League Soccer career in exciting fashion as he slid into a cross from then-rookie Corey Baird and finished.
In his most recent start of this season, Besler was at it again, this time with a pinpoint pass from well beyond the midfield line, also to Baird, who put away the goal.
But while those two plays displayed some of what the Real Salt Lake midfielder is capable of, they’re about as showboaty as Besler gets. Normally, he likes to fly under the radar, even while replacing captain Kyle Beckerman in the starting lineup the past two games while Beckerman works to return from a hamstring injury.
