May 15th features a match where Real Salt Lake hosts Austin at Rio Tinto Stadium in a clash of the Major League Soccer. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, a perfect day for football. Real Salt Lake sits at 5th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Nashville SC. Dave Romney scored the first goal for Nashville SC in the 63rd minute, then Charles Sapong added another in the 2nd minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from L. Haakenson At the end of 90 a dissapointed Real Salt Lake couldn’t manage to score, and Nashville SC took the shutout win. Real Salt Lake is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while austin is fresh off their 0-1 loss against LA Galaxy. Marky Delgado struck first for LA Galaxy in the 6th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Austin couldn’t manage to score, and LA Galaxy took the shutout win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Austin should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Both Maximiliano Urruti and Sebastián Driussi have been the hottest scorers for Austin in the last five each having scored 3 goals. Damir Kreilach and Justin Meram are the top scorers for Real Salt Lake in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
