Real Salt Lake History v. FC Dallas
Real Salt Lake will have plenty of motivation when it heads to Pizza Hut Park this weekend, most notably because FC Dallas leapt past the Utah side and into second place in the Western Conference standings last weekend. Also on RSL’s collective mindset will be the team’s past visits to North Texas, as all nine trips to face Dallas have ended in defeat, including a heartbreaking 1-2 loss in the first leg of last year’s Western Conference Semifinals that helped pave the way to a 2-3 aggregate series defeat for the Utahns. RSL’s all-time mark against Dallas in regular season and post-season play stands at 6-12-2 heading into the weekend.
In last year’s regular season meetings it was FC Dallas ending Real Salt Lake’s then-club-record 10-match undefeated streak via a 2-0 win in Frisco on July 17 before the Claret-and-Cobalt got revenge in Sandy on Oct. 16, their own 2-0 win snapping the Hoops’ MLS-record-tying 19-game regular season unbeaten run. Real Salt Lake fell one game shy of equaling that record just a few weeks ago when its 18-game undefeated streak in League play – which began immediately after last July’s loss in Frisco – came to an end in Portland on April 30.
