It was a surprisingly nice match for Real Salt Lake, as they opened their outlay in the MLS is Back tournament with a nice 2-0 win over Colorado Rapids.
Here are four winners and one loser from the match — and while it’s tempting to just list most players here as winners, let’s be a little selective. You know, so you don’t have to read 5,000 words on it, and I can get some sleep tonight. Great!
Winner: Douglas Martinez
The young Honduran striker got his second all-time start for Real Salt Lake ahead of players like Giuseppe Rossi and Sam Johnson, and he looked good for it, especially in the first half.
