Real Salt Lake’s search for form faltered once again as they went on the road against LAFC and ruined their chance for points as close to immediately as possible, conceding what might be the earliest goal they’ve ever done.
It took just 20 seconds for RSLto concede, with Cristian Arango combining with RSL academy product Bryce Duke for LAFC’s opener. It was an intensely disorganized way to concede, with Pablo Mastroeni deploying the team with three center backs.
Damir Kreilach leveled the scoreline at 1-1 in the 28th minute with a stupendous goal, taking a beauty of a shot from the top of the box to the top corner at the far post.
