With the current break in MLS matches, Real Salt Lake decided to take advantage of the Monarchs and gave six players (Andrew Putna, Ashtone Morgan, Douglas Martinez, Erik Holt, Justin Portillo and Maikel Change) their first start this season with the Monarchs this season. Milan Iloski, who had two previous appearances with the Monarchs, was also named to the starting 11 and Bode Davis came on at halftime as a substitute.
Among the Monarchs’ USL players Sam Brown, Jaziel Orozco, Malik Johnson and Timi Sobowale rounded out the starting 11, while Kyle Adams and Ibrahim Bance got a few late minutes off the bench.
