Tucson, Arizona (Saturday, February 15, 2020) – Real Salt Lake opened the 2020 Visit Tucson Sun Cup on Saturday with a 0-0 draw against Sporting Kansas City, extending players out to 90 minutes for the first time in preseason.
The first half lacked for scoring chances as both teams sought to find the rhythm of the match. Kyle Beckerman had the game’s first real chance when he got his head to an Albert Rusnák corner kick early in the match, but his effort missed high. Kansas City broke through on a few occasions, but staunch defending from RSL’s back line thwarted any scoring opportunities before they threatened goal.
