RSL has come back from deficits multiple times this season. But against Monterrey, the opportunities they got garnered no goals and Salt Lake lost 3-0.
Monterrey's German Berterame celebrates with Erick Aguirre after scoring against Real Salt Lake during the first half of a Leagues Cup soccer match Wednesday.• From a competitive standpoint, Real Salt Lake’s performances in the Leagues Cup have been night and day., their Major League Soccer rivals, 3-0 on Saturday. But on Wednesday, against a Monterrey team that has only played three Liga MX games so far, they fell behind early and couldn’t recover.
Salt Lake’s reflection comes during a competition that plenty of fans think a Liga MX team should win by default because the Mexican league is considered a cut above MLS. Monterrey may have proved that latter idea right Wednesday with how sharp it looked against an RSL team that hadn’t lost a game in months. That’s not all that surprising when considering Monterrey had the best record in its league last season.
“Those are the details that, maybe in an MLS game, they don’t score those goals,” Mastroeni said. “But at that level, with the players they had on the field, it was something that we haven’t seen — that rhythm they played with when they made those passes and when they countered us.” RSL’s loss, however, might amount to nothing. The team can still advance to the knockout stage of the Leagues Cup based on goal differential. So the only real consequence is having to start another unbeaten streak, which stood at 11 matches — including U.S. Open Cup and MLS play — before Wednesday night.“We take it on the chin, we move on and hopefully we keep playing like we have been,” defender Justen Glad said.
