It was in the waning days of last summer that produced one of the most iconic moments of Real Salt Lake’s 2016 campaign. A brace from Yura Movsisyan launched RSL into third place in the Supporters’ Shield race and won the Rocky Mountain Cup for the hosts. It appeared as this would be the catalyst to finish the season strong, with only seven matches to go.
Nearly seven months later, the star Armenian striker provided another goal on Saturday, but it was not enough to quash the current 0-7-4 win-less streak and save head coach Jeff Cassar’s job.
