Real Salt Lake Wins 1-0 at America First Field

Burrito Goal Gives RSL Victory

Rubin's header secures 3 points on the road

Real Salt Lake (RSL) earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Club America in front of 20,729 fans at America First Field on Wednesday night.

The lone goal of the match came in the 73rd minute when Aaron Herrera delivered a pinpoint cross to Rubio Rubin, who headed the ball past Club America goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.

The win was RSL's first on the road this season and moved the team into a tie for eighth place in the Western Conference.

Rusnak's Absence Felt

RSL was without midfielder Albert Rusnak, who was serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Rusnak's absence was felt in the first half, as RSL struggled to create scoring chances.

However, RSL head coach Freddy Juarez made some tactical adjustments at halftime, and the team looked much more dangerous in the second half.

Herrera Steps Up

With Rusnak out of the lineup, Herrera was given the opportunity to start and he made the most of it.

The 22-year-old midfielder was a constant threat to the Club America defense and he played a key role in RSL's goal.

Herrera's performance was a bright spot for RSL, and he showed that he can be a valuable asset to the team.

Rubin's Redemption

Rubin has had a difficult season, but he came up with a big goal when RSL needed it most.

The 26-year-old forward has scored just two goals in 14 appearances this season, but his goal against Club America could be a turning point for him.

Rubin's goal was a reminder of his quality, and it will give him confidence going forward.

Conclusion

RSL's win over Club America was a hard-fought victory, but it was a deserved one.

The team showed great character and determination, and they were rewarded with three points.

The win will give RSL a much-needed boost of confidence, and it will help the team in their quest to make the playoffs.
