With Chad Barrett’s shot through the Alashkert FC goalkeeper’s legs on Friday afternoon to give Real Salt Lake a stoppage-time win in its eighth match of training camp, preseason officially came to a close. In a journey that saw the club fly to three separate locations and play clubs from four different countries, RSL finished with a 2-1-5 record and a much clearer picture of how the club will play in 2017.
All told, seven different players scored for RSL, including two goals apiece from Barrett, Yura Movsisyan and Jordan Allen. Head Coach Jeff Cassar was able to blend newly-acquired talent with returning stalwarts throughout camp.
