April 29, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Real Salt Lake News Release
HERRIMAN, Utah – Real Salt Lake (3-2-4, 13 pts, 6th West) returns home this weekend, welcoming long-time rival LA Galaxy (5-2-1, 16 pts, 3rd West) Saturday afternoon. All-time, RSL is 9-5-8 (W-L-T) in MLS regular-season play on Utah soil against the Galaxy, with a 2-0-1 MLS Cup Playoff / U.S. Open Cup mark at home against the original MLS side. In 2009, RSL famously outlasted a star-laden Galaxy side at the MLS Cup final in Seattle, winning a shootout tiebreaker to bring the State of Utah its first major-league professional sports championship since the early 1970s.
Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni’s side has not won since March 19, a 2-1 home victory over Nashville, a span of five games in League play and six overall, as the Claret-and-Cobalt were bounced unceremoniously from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on April 20 at home. Last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Portland closed out an injury-filled season-opening stanza that saw RSL play six of its first nine games on the road, while Saturday’s home match against the Galaxy now opens a stretch that sees Rio Tinto Stadium host five of the next eight and eight of the next 12 at home. Mastroeni has used 24 players already through nine games this season, with the primary MLS transfer window closing middle of next week.
Saturday’s match will be broadcast locally via KMYU (12 over the air, 22 satellite and 643 HD on cable), with streaming on the KSL Sports App, as well as ESPN700 AM radio. Spanish-speaking fans can tune in on KBMG Latino 106.3 FM, La Gran D 102.3 FM and KTUB 1600 AM for the local radio broadcast.
