Chicho Arango rose up in the 72nd minute and headed home a sure-fire shot into the corner of the goal to end a five-match losing streak at LAFC.
That's all it took, and now Real Salt Lake trails just St. Louis in the Western Conference standings with three games to go.
Chicho Arango rose up in the 72nd minute and headed home a sure-fire shot into the corner of the goal to end a five-match losing streak at LAFC and to give RSL its first win on the road against the reigning champs since the 2018 playoffs. The header came on the receiving end of a first-time cross from Rubio Rubin, who entered the match just two minutes earlier. The defense held the Los Angeles powerhouse scoreless on the evening and RSL set a new franchise record with its seventh road win of the season.To add insult to injury, LAFC let Arango go after last season's MLS Cup campaign and ended up on the wrong end of a revenge game for the new RSL MVP.
The odds did not favor RSL heading into the match, with the money line at +450 for the Claret and Cobalt after a long streak of losses at BMO Stadium. The win moves RSL 2 points clear of fifth-place Houston as the team tries to finish in the top four and guarantee a home playoff game. Next up for RSL is the regular season home finale against Kansas City on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. MDT.Caleb Turner covers Real Salt Lake as the team's beat writer for KSL.com, in addition to his role where he oversees the sports team's social media accounts.
