“Responded to last week's drubbing at LA with a comprehensive and professional home win. The best part? The play of Homegrowns Jordan Allen (who made the Team of the Week) and Justen Glad. Both are starters, and both are proving to be legit difference-makers.”

“Real Salt Lake got right back into the groove after last week’s loss to the Galaxy, coming back for a 2-1 home win over Houston Dynamo. Jordan Allen scored a magnificent goal and had a lot to do with Yura Movsisyan’s winner. Nick Rimando came through with his usual array of amazing saves, including one made with his face.”

“After seeing their unbeaten start come to a crashing end against the Galaxy, RSL got back on the positive side of things with a 2-1 win over Houston. Nick Rimando remains a marvel.”
