SANDY, Utah (Thursday, October 18, 2018) – Real Salt Lake (14-12-7, 49 points, 6 West) earned a statement-making 4-1 victory over New England Revolution on Thursday in the regular season home finale at Rio Tinto Stadium. The win moves Head Coach Mike Petke’s side four points clear of the playoff line with one match remaining in the 2018 regular season.
The match began just as RSL wanted as it got the go-ahead goal just four minutes in when MF Nick Besler earned his first goal in Major League Soccer when he slid to knock in a low cross from FW Corey Baird.
