The Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake are aiming for the glory of a second consecutive win as the USL opener is on a roll. The Baymen swept the Colorado Rapids with a 4-0 record, with American striker Jordan Morris scoring twice, the biggest highlight of the match. Despite the absence of Peruvian shot-stopper Raul Rediaz due to injury, the Baymen's victory was an eye-opening one. The icing on the cake was the debut goal of new Brazilian striker Hiba.
Midfielder Ludlow, known as the "golden left foot", is crucial to Real Salt Lake's offense, not only penetrating the opponent's defense, but also bringing great pressure on the back line. In the unfavorable situation of Real Salt Lake, Zuston Kitt and Damien Darcy scored twice in the last 20 minutes to win 2-1 against Vancouver Whitecaps, showing the tenacity of fighting spirit.
At the beginning of the season, Real Salt Lake lost their top scorer Saji Ogodua, and their attacking power was in trouble for a while. Whether they can rise up in the new season depends on whether Shah Valentino, Anderson Zulio and Jostean Meilan can fill the scoring gap.
I, a former goalkeeper, know a lot about forwards. In my opinion, McMuff has been perfect, and his defense, along with Zuston Kitt and Marcelus Schwarz, will play a key role in this game. If Raul Rediaz can return from injury in time, the Baymen will be even more threatening on the offensive end.
The Baymen delighted their fans with a home win last time out and are confident that they will continue their winning momentum and beat Real Salt Lake in this match to add to their record.
