Real Salt Lake closes out a stretch of six matches in 18 days Friday night against D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium. Here are three things to know about our visitors from the nation’s capital.
Goalkeepers Galore
Once upon a time, Nick Rimando won an MLS Cup for D.C. United back in 2004. For the last 10 years he has been a stalwart in goal for Real Salt Lake. As has Bill Hamid since his arrival as the club’s first Homegrown Player back in 2009. While Rimando has gone on to become the league’s all-time leader in shutouts, Hamid has established himself as one of the best young goalkeepers in the league.
