Sandy • Birthday boy Albert Rusnák got the goal, and with it some redemption from Wednesday night’s embarrassing penalty kick miss. But Saturday night was about another one of Real Salt Lake’s young, fearless and savvy attacking players.
In any given match, it can be any given youngster, which is, after all, part of this grand long-term plan. On Wednesday, it was rookie forward Corey Baird again proving why he’s the spearhead of the RSL attack. On a blistering hot Saturday evening in the 2-0 win in Sandy, it was Sebastian Saucedo. The 21-year-old from Park City won’t be on the scoresheet when RSL looks back to study its 34-game slate, regardless of how this 2018 campaign plays out.
