Sporting Kansas City
A highly competitive Western Conference clash is on the cards as Real Salt Lake host Sporting Kansas City. The Royals are eager to put an end to their three-game losing streak, knowing another setback could seriously harm their playoff hopes. The hosts face some squad limitations, with DeAndre Yedlin serving a one-game suspension, while Bonilla, Brown, and goalkeeper MacMath are all sidelined with injuries. Sporting Kansas City also have selection issues, with defender Zorhan Bassong banned for this encounter.
The Wizards will be determined to respond after a narrow 2-1 defeat to Austin last time out, and their attacking approach suggests they will not come to sit back. Given both sides are desperate for points, a free-flowing contest is expected, with plenty of opportunities created at both ends. Salt Lake usually thrive in front of their home crowd, but Sporting’s pace and direct play on the counter could easily cause problems. All in all, a lively contest is on the horizon.
Highlighted Team (Real Salt Lake):
Real Salt Lake joined Major League Soccer in 2005 as an expansion team of the league and four years later they won their first MLS Cup. The Royals faced star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game at Qwest Field in Seattle and Jason Kreis’ troops defeated David Beckham and Co. on penalties.
In 2013 Real Salt Lake made it to the MLS Cup final for the second time in the club’s history, but they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City on penalties this time out. The Royals participated in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2011 as well, but Monterrey of Mexico eventually won the title. Real Salt Lake footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white.
The likes of Clint Mathis, Jeff Cunningham and Eddie Pope are some of the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Jeff Cunningham scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in the league for the Royals.
