RSL History v. Revolution
After getting off to a rough start in the series against New England, Real Salt Lake has taken control in recent seasons, its 5-1-1 record since 2008 helping RSL to a 6-4-3 overall mark against the Revolution. That ledger includes three straight victories, including RSL’s 2-0 triumph at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough earlier this season back on April 9, a game in which Collen Warner collected a pair of assists on goals from Chris Schuler (27’) and Paulo Jr. (47’) Rio Tinto Stadium has served as New England’s house of horrors, as Real Salt Lake has outscored the Revolution 11-0 in their two previous visits to Sandy – a franchise record-setting 6-0 pasting on June 25, 2009, and a 5-0 shutout in last season’s Independence Day Celebration on July 2.
