SANDY, Utah (Tuesday, May 29, 2018) – Real Salt Lake (5-6-1, 16 pts, 8th West) returns home Wednesday night to continues its Major League Soccer campaign with a 7:30 p.m. MT kickoff against West rival Houston Dynamo. The midweek matchup at Rio Tinto Stadium kicks off a run of three straight in Sandy, where RSL has won four consecutive games at home this season, and comes on the heels of an early-season stretch that has seen RSL play five of its last seven on the road since early April.
At the world-class Utah venue affectionately known as “The RioT,” RSL has enjoyed a prominent home-field advantage since building its permanent home in Sandy, boasting a dominant 110-27-44 mark in the world-class venue since opening in October, 2008.
Over the holiday weekend, RSL captured its first road win of the year at Seattle, riding Nick Rimando’s 140th career shutout and the first-ever MLS goal from homegrown academy product and Utah native Sebastian “Bofo” Saucedo, a curling blast in the 60th minute. Saucedo’s heroics came in a game that saw four other RSL Academy homegrowns in Mike Petke’s starting XI – DF Justen Glad, DF Danny Acosta, DF Brooks Lennon and FW Corey Baird – while another, DF Aaron Herrera, made his MLS debut as a substitute, becoming the ninth different player to debut for the Claret-and-Cobalt in 2018.
