With Real Salt Lake’s preseason match against Sporting Kansas City ending in a drab 0-0 draw, it can be tempting to assume a few things.
Perhaps the defense was good. Maybe the opposition defense was also good. Maybe it was a tense match with a lot of back-and-forth.
Both of those first two things are true. The third, not so much. Sporting Kansas City ruled the roost until the 60th minute, when they made wholesale lineup changes, and it was mostly a defensive affair for RSL supporters. Which is fine, but some extra excitement was needed.
