The 2018 version of Real Salt Lake’s offense was all over the place. It scored 12 goals in two weeks at one point, while also giving up at least three goals in 10 games, including the playoffs. It was fourth in the league in shots on goal during the regular season, but also had the worst goal differential of any playoff team in either conference.
Through seven games of the 2019 season, those trends appear to have continued and look slightly worse. While RSL has played well in spurts and is coming off a win over Orlando City SC in which it put away its most goals in open play, the team still ranks at the bottom of Major League Soccer in several key offensive categories.
