RSL demolished by expansion side LAFC at home, 5-1

Real Salt Lake was completely obliterated this afternoon by newcomers Los Angeles FC, who took the home side to task in a 5-1 rout in only their second-ever game in existence. The visitors put on an absolute clinic by way of stars like Diego Rossi, Carlos Vela, Marco Urena and Steven Beitashour to hand RSL their first loss of the season.

Mike Petke fielded almost the exact same lineup we saw last week in Dallas, with the exception of David Horst stepping in for Marcelo Silva who reportedly pulled up with a minor training injury earlier this week.
