The last two weeks were not great for Real Salt Lake. The DC United game was an unmitigated disaster; a 5-0 loss that saw RSL earn two red cards. The LAFC match had a lot of positives and Real Salt Lake were so close to a point on the road, but fell 2-1 with a late red card then stoppage time goal. FC Dallas have 7 points from 4 games (2-1-1) and RSL have 4 points in 4 games (1-2-1). This week, Real return home and hope come out with all three points.
In many ways the LAFC game was a success.
