Real Salt Lake took another great step forward on Wednesday in its preparations for the 2016 season, drawing 3-3 with the New England Revolution in the first of two matches in the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup. After going down 2-0 and with Aaron Maund being sent off just minutes into the second half, it was a difficult test for RSL and the team treated it like a cold splash of water, driving to a 3-2 lead before eventually allowing an equalizer to the Revs.
While the 3-3 draw tells one story, the team was proud of its fight for coming back and showing the character to make a game of it when adversity was thrown their way.
