Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened in this game was it being the club’s Pride Night and having rainbow numbers on the jerseys, but don’t let that understate Damir Kreilach’s night. Kreilach, and the defensive line that is.
In a goalless match, one thing was key for Real Salt Lake: don’t concede.
Offensively, the team was almost nonexistent. Nashville’s goalkeeper didn’t even technically register a save, but the defensive stability RSL showed was something important.
This is the team’s first shutout of the season which is going to be key moving forward. Kreilach’s steadiness in the midfield played a big role in this.
