Just two days after holding their own against Manchester United, Real Salt Lake will face off against the Portland Timbers in an important league game — their first since the 6-2 thrashing of LA two weeks ago.
RSL (6-12-2, 20 points) currently sits in ninth place after grabbing the full three points at the StubHub Center, lifting themselves out of dead last in the Western Conference. An impressive display from Jefferson Savarino, Albert Rusnak, and the rest of the gang gave RSL fans some hope going into the Gold Cup break that this would be the caliber of team they’d see for the rest of the season.
