Seven years ago today, I witnessed what became my least favorite match at Rio Tinto Stadium.
It’s probably the worst match I’ve ever seen in person, and I’ve seen some real stinkers from Real Salt Lake over the years.
A match RSL was not just widely expected to win, but a match with a result that seemed nearly inevitable.
A match for which I still haven’t watched the highlights.
The 2013 U.S. Open Cup.
Real Salt Lake facing D.C. United. One of the teams, competing for the Supporters’ Shield. The other, at the bottom of the table.
