Real Salt Lake sneak past Wilmington Hammerheads

Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake were pushed all the way to penalties by minnows the Wilmington Hammerheads in Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup fourth round action.

Second-half goals from Joao Plata and Juan Manuel Martinez helped RSL level the score at 2-2 in regular time after Mael Corboz and Justin Moose had put the Hammerheads in front.

Jeff Attinella then made the key save for Jeff Cassar's men in the shootout, before Chris Wingert converted winning penalty to help RSL progress 3-1.
