SANDY, Utah (Friday, May 6, 2016) – Real Salt Lake hits the road, albeit in the Mountain Time Zone, Saturday at Colorado against regional rival Rapids at 7:00 p.m. MT in the first of five consecutive road matches while Rio Tinto Stadium undergoes installation of a new surface. Head Coach Jeff Cassar’s team (5-1-2, 17 points, West/MLS #1, w/ 2.13 points-per-game) resides atop Major League Soccer’s early-season Supporters Shield race, sharing the 17-point total with both Colorado (5-2-2, 17 points) and Dallas (5-3-2, 17 points) despite playing fewer games.
Back on April 9, RSL extended its home unbeaten run against the Rapids to 13 consecutive games with a 1-0 win, the impressive streak that has seen RSL outscore Colorado 22-5 on Utah soil dating back to Sept.
