Real Salt Lake are coming off an impressive comeback win over their main rivals, the Colorado Rapids. They gave up 2 goals in the first 20 minutes before scoring 2 goals in the first half. They then gave up another goal to give Colorado the lead, but stormed back to win 5-3.

Today they play 12th place FC Dallas. Dallas’ start to the season hasn’t been great, having had a 7 game streak with 5 losses and 2 draws. They’ve started to right the ship, with 2 wins, a draw, and a loss in their last 4 games. With the famous Dallas support, can RSL continue their unbeaten run in the Big D?

An attacking identity

For many years, RSL were known as a defensive team, with the attack being a near afterthought. This year, that narrative has switched entirely. RSL’s attack is the best it’s been in a decade and Chicho Arango is 2 goals clear the next top scorer in the league. Luna and Gomez are firing on all cylinders and that’s earning the team real points.
