Real Salt Lake 1 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4
August 29, 2021; BC Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Real Salt Lake (7-8-6, 27
points); Vancouver Whitecaps FC (6-7-8, 26 points)
Man of the Match: Midfielder Anderson Julio proved to be a spark off the bench,
scoring his fifth goal of the season and his third as a second-half substitute.
Julio’s shot was just one of two shots on goal for Real Salt Lake on the night.
Telling Stat: For the first time this season Real Salt Lake allowed their
opponent to score four goals. Prior to Sunday’s game the only time the team had
allowed more than two goals was against Portland Timbers at Providence Park,
where it fell 3-2. Tonight’s match was the first game where Real Salt Lake has
lost by more than one goal.
What You Missed: Real Salt Lake was led by
Interim Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni following the departure of Freddy Juarez
just two days before the game. Additionally, 17-year-old goalkeeper Jeff
Dewsnup made his first Major League Soccer gameday roster.
What’s Next: The Club returns home to face FC Dallas at Rio Tinto Stadium on
Saturday, September 4, at 6:00 p.m. MT. The two teams previously played to a
2-2 draw at the home of FC Dallas, thanks to a late-game equalizer from Damir
Krealich. Real Salt Lake is currently undefeated in their last five matches at
home, including four victories during that span.
