Real Salt Lake: RSL earns 2-1 victory over visiting NYCFC

It was the perfect storm for Real Salt Lake. Not only was there snow at Rio Tinto Stadium, a rested and relatively healthy RSL side took the field, looking every bit up to the task against NYCFC.

Real is now 2-0-0 in the fluffy stuff, and 3-0-0 all-time against New York City FC. Here are some things that stood out from the match.

More Changes To The Back Line

Demar Phillips was given the night off, which led to RSL deploying a back line of Wingert, Maund, Schuler, and Schmidt. Justin Schmidt saw time at left back as a late sub against New England out of necessity.
