Real Salt Lake started brightly, but it wasn't good enough from the team to earn a point on the road against Vancouver Whitecaps. Here are three things I learned from this match.
Luca Moisa (and Aiden Hezarkhani)
I was very concerned that Luca Moisa was starting this match — not for anything about Moisa (aside from his age) but more that the state of the roster and injuries therein demanded a start for a 17-year-old. My concern was quickly put at ease: Moisa at no point felt like he was just a body filling the position. He held a greater percentage of possession for RSL than any other player save Justen Glad, held an 88% passing success rate, and was well-involved defensively. It absolutely justifies further minutes, and as his development continues, perhaps starting minutes in Leagues Cup wouldn't be amiss.
