HOUSTON (Sunday, May 15, 2016) – Real Salt Lake suffered its second straight 1-0 road loss on Sunday, falling to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium. GK Jeff Attinella made two saves, but a second-half goal from Giles Barnes was the difference in the match as RSL fell to 5-3-2.
The match was originally slated to kick off at 6:30 p.m. MT on Saturday, but was delayed then postponed until noon MT on Sunday when lightning storms peppered the Houston area.
The first near-miss of the match came in the 10th minute when FW Joao Plata bent a corner kick in from the left side, nearly scoring directly off the corner kick if not for Joe Willis snatching the ball just before it cleared the goal line.
