Real Salt Lake is headed into a major match Wednesday night and Yura Movsisyan welcomes the challenge. RSL has gotten into the knockout stages of the CONCACAF Champions League play but is down a game already. On February 24, Real lost 2-0 to Tigres and has a second chance at redemption tomorrow night.


Movsisyan, in particular, is ready for the high pressure match. Eyes will be on him as RSL needs to net two goals to go into overtime and at least finish three for the win. RSL GM Craig Waibel and a couple other RSL players believe in the Armenian forward and have faith that he will go out and do his job.
"The good thing about Yura is he loves pressure," RSL general manager Craig Waibel said. "He actually enjoys the conversation."
Defender Tony Beltan added, "I have no shortage of confidence in Yura."
