Losses or draws this week would not eliminate RSL from the playoff race, but two wins could go a long way in all but securing its spot.
SALT LAKE CITY — The game of soccer comes down to "moments," Real Salt Lake head coach Pablo Mastroeni preaches. His team now has a pair of crucial moments to seize this week.
RSL has been firmly in the playoff race since going undefeated in MLS play during June and July, but the race is tightening. RSL can earn 6 points this week with a pair of home wins, but therein lies the challenge. Most of RSL's success earlier this season came on the road when it set a franchise record with six wins away from home in its first 11 road matches.
The other home game, after the two this week, is against Kansas City in between the trips to LA. Kansas City is currently tied with Dallas just below the playoff line.
