It’s a tale of two cities. Real Salt Lake stumbles back to Salt Lake City in an effort to quickly overcome the 4-0 thrashing they took visiting New England a few days before, while New York City FC comes to town after stringing together three of their best performance of the season.
Both teams will look to earn a result, as the visit is only the third in their history. Their ties run much deeper, as it was not long ago that NYCFC took Jason Kreis away from the Salt Lake Valley, who then raided the MLS Cup Runner’s Up roster for his first season and only season in the Bronx.
