Real Salt Lake dropped a 2-0 result against western conference rivals Sporting Kansas City thanks to goals from Johnny Russell and Gerso. The good news? RSL still moves on to the knockout round regardless of results. The lowest they can finish in group D is third place, and the lowest they can finish overall would be the fourth-place wildcard team, which sees them move into the round of 16 no matter what happens between Minnesota and Colorado tonight.
This morning’s game saw a few changes in the lineup especially with Albert Rusnak being forced out due to injury.
