Real Salt Lake finished its 2019 preseason with a starting lineup that looked closer to normal on Saturday against the Portland Timbers, but the small semblance of cohesion didn’t produce positive results.
RSL lost to Portland 3-0 as it looks ahead to starting the regular season on the road next week against the Houston Dynamo. The Timbers led 2-0 at halftime Saturday and scored another goal near the end of the match for good measure.
