Real Salt Lake Wins their First Game - 1-0 over the Colorado Rapids
Real Salt Lake. I get a chuckle every time I say that. Something about a European tradition in the middle of Mormon country. Even the club was trying to get the local folks into the right way of saying it. Their first regular season win happened!
Real Salt Lake won in a 1-0 match against the Colorado Rapids. Brian Dunseth scored the goal in the 81st minute with an assist from Clint Mathis.
The owners were hoping for 25,000 fans and they had 25,787 show up. Wow. This is professional soccer and the stands were packed.
There was even a name associated with this match called the Rocky Mountain Match. Talk about something really taking off!
