D.C. United vs. Real Salt Lake
RFK STADIUM, Washington, D.C.
August 1, 2015 (MLS Game #214)
7 pm ET (MLS LIVE, CSN-Washington, KMYU)

D.C. United overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Philadelphia Union 3-2 in their last game. A game-winning goal from Fabian Espindola in the 79th minute capped the comeback sparked by Alvaro Saborio, making his United debut, and Nick DeLeon goals.
Real Salt Lake topped Sporting Kansas City 2-1 last weekend in a Western Conference clash. Goals from Javier Morales and Joao Plata were enough for the victory over the then Supporters’ Shield leaders.
It’s the first meeting between the two teams this season. The last time they met, Real Salt Lake won in a 3-0 rout on Aug. 8, 2014, on a goal from Plata and Chris Shuler brace, all coming in the first 24 minutes.
RSL are coming into the game on their first two-game winning streak since late March, early April, yet they still sit just outside the playoff picture in seventh place with 29 points from 22 games. D.C. United are tied with FC Dallas in the Supporters Shield race with 38 points from 23 games – although FCD have two games in hand.
