A lineup that could best be described as mix-and-match from Real Salt Lake scrapped out a 0-0 draw against the West’s worst team in 2021, Houston Dynamo. It was not a particularly exciting start to the 2022 campaign, but it was one that kept RSL from sustaining an opening day loss.
There’s always a certain joy in a Corey Baird-vs.-Real Salt Lake match-up, and largely because he and Real Salt Lake defender Justen Glad end up in some quite funny tussles. That was the highlight of the first half, which was fairly dreadful as far as entertaining soccer goes from either side.
