Both teams started slowly, as nobody scored in the opening 45 minutes in Sandy. Real Salt Lake didn’t let that stop them from taking a lead into the break, with Anderson Julio finding the back of the net in the third minute of stoppage time. Julio’s seventh goal of the season was unassisted.

The Claret & Cobalt took their one-goal lead into the second half and didn’t waste time increasing the advantage. Briaian Ojeda capitalized on a set piece, finding Philip Quinton for a left-footed shot that beat Aljaz Ivacic in goal.

RSL outshot New England 20-8 and 10-2 on frame, despite the Revolution controlling 56 percent of possession. Both teams received a yellow card in the match.
