Houston • Last season, Real Salt Lake could have been described as a middle-of-the-road goal-scoring team. The 55 goals it scored wasn’t the worst performance in the league — or even just the Western Conference — but it wasn’t the best.
It’s arguable, however, that the 55 number is better than advertised because RSL played without a so-called true striker in 2018. So coming into this season, with the signing of Sam Johnson and the bevy of attacking options that coach Mike Petke has at his disposal, Real has some interesting decisions to make throughout the season.
