Real Salt Lake are coming off a good win over the Seattle Sounders. After an opening day loss to the San Jose Earthquakes and an early exit from CONCACAF Champions Cup, the team was in need of a win. San Diego FC have started their time in Major League Soccer by beating reigning Champs the LA Galaxy, then playing to a scoreless home draw against St. Louis City.

Time to see the best XI

The pressure of Champions Cup are long behind this team now, and with it, the schedule congestion of playing multiple games in a single week. Since RSL have not played since last weekend, their best XI should take the field. Only MacMath and Bell are listed on the injury report. Ideally we’ll see Cabral in goal, with a backline of Katranis, Vera, Glad, and Hidalgo. Eneli and Ojeda are in the middle, with Goncalves either on the left wing or at the 10, and Luna in whichever spot he doesn’t take, Marczuk at right wing, and Ajago at center forward. It’s time to see this team gel a bit more.
