Player ratings

Morgan Guilavogui was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Real Salt Lake promote Brenden Wright from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Brenden Wright has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Juan Manuel Sanabria

7.25, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Real Salt Lake had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The manager makes an example of Nick DePuy

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Point won or two lost for Real Salt Lake?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against FC Dallas? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The dugout
