Damir Kreilach scored the deciding goal in a 2-1 win for Real Salt Lake over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.
Real Salt Lake's Justen Glad, middle, is congratulated after scoring a goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps during the second half of an MLS soccer match Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“I think we had a pretty nervous start to the game on both sides of the ball,” RSL coach Pablo Mastroeni said. “I think there was a lot of doubt in every pass. ... I think in the second half we trusted in the game plan, we trusted in each other and the guys executed and played a wonderful second half.”
The goal was significant for Kreilach, RSL’s captain, who missed most of last season with a back injury.
