In a game that has been oversimplified by almost every single national outlet, Real Salt Lake came away from Rio Tinto Stadium with a very important three points on Saturday vs Colorado.
Coming into the match Real Salt Lake was finding form in front of goal and held an undefeated record despite some early troubles finishing matches; while Colorado entered with probably the tightest defense in the league, only allowing 2 goals all season before Saturday. An offense finding it’s form vs a defense that had found theirs. Add on top of that a bitter rivalry with 10 years of history and this match was bound to be a hard fought affair.
