Real Salt Lake Players to Watch

The next three players are considered key to Real Salt Lake's offensive attack and will be of utmost importance for them to win. Forward Jefferson Savarino (#10) is a fundamental piece for the team because of his experience. He is a great player who takes advantage of his speed and strength to score. Another key player for the team is Andres Gomez (#11) who plays in the midfield position and is a player with a lot of assisting skills. He is another player with a lot of experience and who has played against Real Salt Lake multiple times so he will be key to defeating them. Finally, goalkeeper Zac MacMath (#18) is one of the best goalkeepers in the MLS, his height allows him to save almost any ball and is very important so that his team does not concede a goal on Sunday.
