RSL concedes another late goal in 1-1 draw at Austin
AUSTIN (ABC4 Sports) – For the second straight week, Real Salt Lake gave up a goal in the final minutes, but this time RSL was able to earn one point in a 1-1 draw at Austin FC Wednesday night. RSL scored its first goal of the season off of a set piece when Diego Luna's free kick found Willy Agada, who headed in his first goal with Real Salt Lake in the 67th minute. Advertisement It appeared Real would be able to take the full three points, but in the 93rd minute, Diego Rubio headed in a pass from Žan Kolmanič to tie the game at one. RSL (4-9-3, 15 points) continued its streak without a win that has grown to six contests, dating to a 3-1 decision on the road vs. San Diego FC on April 26. Vancouver erases 2-goal deficit in 3-2 win over RSL 'They were sending seven guys in the box, and we just didn't execute on one of them the right way,' said RSL head coach Pablo Mastroeni. 'Unfortunately, it just takes one moment in football, and we were really unfortunate we weren't able to come away with the three points.' Advertisement Real Salt Lake surrendered a goal in the 89th minute on Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver. Austin ended up with four shots on goal to three for RSL, with three of the Verde's chances coming in the final seven minutes. Austin had the match's first scoring chance in the 22nd minute when Osman Bukari worked hard to get the ball deep into the zone before passing to Brandon Vazquez, whose header clanged off the crossbar and out of harm's way. RSL's Pablo Ruiz tested Stuver in the 26th minute with a low percentage shot from just outside the box that the Austin keeper gobbled up. The Verde's Jon Gallagher countered with his team's first shot on goal in the 31st minute, challenging Rafael Cabral with a left-footed shot that was easily saved. Advertisement The sides combined for 12 shots in the first half, seven of them by the visitors, and each produced just one shot on goal. Step By Step: Diego Luna's steady rise earns USMNT Gold Cup call-up 'I think it's a really good performance to build on,' Mastroeni said. 'I think they're rallying around the the difficult moments, the suffering that we're going through, and still performing away from home at a really, really high level.' RSL next heads to L.A. to battle the Galaxy Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Real Salt Lake closes out road swing against winless defending MLS champions LA Galaxy
SANDY, Utah (ABC4) — Real Salt Lake will look to snap a six-match winless streak on Saturday night as they face off against the reigning MLS Cup champions, the LA Galaxy, at Dignity Health Sports Park. RSL aims to rebound after late collapse in Austin Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Austin FC was another frustrating result for Real Salt Lake, who led until injury time before conceding on a corner kick header. The draw extended their winless streak to six matches (0W-3D-3L) and left the team searching for answers heading into the final leg of a tough road stretch. Diego Luna leads Real Salt Lake attack Midfielder Diego Luna continues to shine, leading the team with 8 goals and 4 assists. He bagged both goals the last time RSL faced the Galaxy in a 2-0 victory at America First Field. Advertisement Additional contributions have come from Dominic Marczuk and Diogo Gonçalves (1 goal, 2 assists each), while new arrival Willy Agada netted his first RSL goal in Austin off a Diego Luna free kick. Homegrown striker Zavier Gozo also opened his account recently with a goal against Vancouver. RSL injury report and player updates RSL will be without midfielder and captain Emeka Eneli for at least the next several weeks due to a foot injury. 2024 MLS All Star center back Justen Glad will miss at least the Galaxy match after suffering a concussion midweek against Austin FC. Designated Player Diogo Gonçalves, recently back in training from a heel issue, did not travel with the team after head coach Pablo Mastroeni expressed disappointment in his training performance. He remains in Utah to continue his recovery. LA Galaxy still searching for first win of 2025 The defending MLS Cup champions are enduring a nightmarish title defense. LA Galaxy are winless through 16 matches (0W-4D-12L), most recently falling 1-0 at home to San Jose Earthquakes. Despite their struggles, the Galaxy still feature high-profile attackers like Christian Ramirez (4 goals, 1 assist), Marco Reus (3 goals, 4 assists), and Diego Fagundez (3 goals)—all capable of punishing mistakes. Advertisement Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. MT at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The match will be broadcast on Apple TV+ via MLS Season Pass. Bonus Match: Real Monarchs vs Ventura County FC Real Monarchs, RSL's MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, will also be in Southern California this weekend, taking on Ventura County FC (LA Galaxy's NEXT Pro side) on Sunday at 8 p.m. MT.

Galaxy beat Real Salt Lake 2-0, snap longest winless streak to start a season in MLS history
CARSON, Calif. -- Lucas Sanabria scored his first goal in MLS, Joseph Paintsil added his first goal of the season and the LA Galaxy beat Real Salt Lake 2-0 on Saturday night to snap the longest winless streak to start a season in MLS history. The Galaxy (1-12-4) — the defending MLS Cup champions — were winless in 16 straight and had a minus-23 goal differential during that span. Novak Micovic finished with four saves and the 23-year-old had his — as well as the Galaxy's — first shutout of the season. RSL (4-10-3) is winless in seven consecutive games dating to a 3-1 win at San Diego on April 26. The 21-year-old Sanabria put away a one-touch finish — set up perfectly by Matheus Nascimento's feed — into a wide-open net to open the scoring in the 17th minute. It was the first goal contribution in MLS for the Nascimento, a 21-year-old rookie. Paintsil ran down the left side onto a long ball played ahead by Gabrial Pec, cut inside to evade a defender near the corner of the area and then slipped a shot inside the back post to make it 2-0 in the 55th. LA is unbeaten (5-0-4) in nine straight home matches against Real Salt Lake since 2017.
