SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake midfielder/forward Damir Kreilach scored the first goal of the night for RSL in their road clash with the Portland Timbers.
In the 41st minute, the ball was served into the box when a Portland defender headed the ball towards the keeper. The keeper couldn’t corral the ball, allowing Damir Kreilach to tap the ball into the back of the net.
That cut Portland’s lead to 2-1 in the first half. It’s the 11th goal of the season for the MLS All-Star.
