Real Salt Lake 6 vs LA Galaxy 2 Man of the Match: It looked like a race between Damir Kreilach and Albert Rusnák to get the club’s first hat trick since 2014 and it was Kreilach to net it on his 71st minute goal to finish off the 6-2 route. It was his first career hat trick and gave him 10 goals on the season. Further, it solved the dilemma about what to do about the number 9 position for RSL.
