Real Salt Lake Keep Unbeaten Preseason Intact with 1-1 Draw Against Vancouver

PORTLAND, Oregon (Sunday, February 12, 2017) – Real Salt Lake remained unbeaten in preseason after FW Jordan Allen scored a late equalizer to notch a draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Providence Park in Portland on Sunday.

It was the second goal of preseason for Allen as RSL moved to 1-0-4 in five preseason matches and was the second comeback draw of the Portland trip after drawing 3-3 with the host Portland Timbers on Thursday.

Real Salt Lake outshot Vancouver 10-4 in a scoreless first half, forcing goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi in to three saves. However, perhaps the best opportunity of the half came when FW Ricardo Velazco burst up the left side and got into the box before cutting a cross toward the edge of the six-yard box.
