Real Salt Lake opens up Rio Tinto for the first home match of the 2016 MLS season to host the Seattle Sounders. Hoping to secure their first win in front of home fans, RSL will hope to revenge last year’s season finale in which they were trounced 3-1 by the Sounders at CenturyLink field. Having already lost their first match, RSL will attempt to make things difficult for the Sounders as they work towards taking the initiative in the series early.
