Real Salt Lake eliminated from Leagues Cup with 1-0 loss to Tigres UANL

A quarterfinal match in the first-ever Leagues Cup saw Real Salt Lake fall to Liga MX side Tigres UANL by a score of 1-0, in what was effectively a rematch of the 2016 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.

Mike Petke fielded a pretty strong lineup, with all the usual suspects on the field with a few exceptions, most notably the absence of Albert Rusnak and the presence of Joao Plata in the starting lineup. Erik Holt also got the start next to Justen Glad at center back, while Nick Besler got the start next to Everton Luiz.
