June 3, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Real Salt Lake News Release
HERRIMAN, Utah – Real Salt Lake (7-3-4, 25 pts, t-2nd West) travels this weekend to Vancouver, B.C., Canada, in Major League Soccer’s lone fixture during this international hiatus (5:00 p.m. MT kickoff). RSL is seeking its first four-game MLS reg. season win streak since June, 2013, while also looking to extend the most prosperous run of road success in Club history, as Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni’s side has earned nine results in its last 13 away games (5-4-4, W-L-T) dating back to late last season.
A victory Saturday would pull Real Salt Lake to within one point of Major League Soccer’s Supporters Shield race, the pace currently set by West leaders LAFC (9-3-2, 29 pts, 1st West). Also, newly-acquired MF Diego Luna, the highly-regarded 18-year-old USA U-20 playmaker just added from El Paso Locomotive (USL Championship), could make his RSL/MLS debut on Saturday, becoming the 28th player used by Mastroeni and staff in the first 15 games this season.
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
All-time, on the artificial surface of B.C. Place, RSL is just 2-10-1 (W-L-T) against the Whitecaps (4-7-2, 14 pts, 12th West), who actually called Rio Tinto Stadium home for half of the 2021 pandemic-affected season. RSL last won in Vancouver on its final day of the 2019 season, riding a Damir Kreilach goal for a 1-0 victory.
Last Saturday’s dominant 3-0 RioT win over visiting Houston marked RSL’s third-consecutive victory, one which extended RSL’s 2022 home record to 5-0-1 (W-L-T) – matching the best-ever home start in the Club’s 18-year history (2010, 2016). Saturday’s win also marked Real Salt Lake’s quickest-ever accumulation of 25 points (14 games),…
