Real Salt Lake snapshot

Real Salt Lake have had an inconsistent start to the 2025 campaign. Their Concacaf Champions Cup ended with a disastrous home loss to Costa Rican side Herediano, conceding two goals in the final 20 minutes (including a 99th-minute penalty kick) to blow a home lead and crash out of the competition.

In MLS play, they've also been up-and-down. They haven't won consecutive matches this season, bouncing back from a two-match losing streak with a professional win over the LA Galaxy last week, who have been the worst club in MLS this season.
