RSL’s offense took a step forward with Sam Johnson out. What can it do now that the prolific goal-scorer is back?

Herriman • Midfielder Albert Rusnák and forward Sam Johnson share the Real Salt Lake team lead in goals scored this season, with nine apiece.

The difference? The Slovakian’s scoring total has spanned 1,922 minutes played. The Liberian’s have come in just 1,005.

So, given that RSL racked up 13 goals in seven MLS games while Johnson was out with a quad muscle injury, what might the team’s attack be capable of now that he’s returned?

He’d scored three goals in the previous two games. And he’d notched four of RSL’s five scores over the prior six-game span.
