TALKIN REAL: RSL sets new club record in entertaining, unpredictable game in Kansas City

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — RSL has set a new club record with a 15 game unbeaten streak, so why do they need to make a major move during the summer transfer window? Injuries, improving younger players, possible transfers and designated players roster spots all play into the story line. Brian Dunseth explains on this edition of Talkin' Real.

Also, a clearly exhausted Pablo Mastroeni offers post game thoughts on his club tying the second longest unbeaten streak in MLS history after a dramatic 4-3 win at Sporting Kansas City. The streak now includes an improbable 3-3 draw at FC Dallas, a wild 4-3 win at Sporting Kansas City and an unlikely 5-3 rally and victory over Colorado at home.

Dunny also watched Diego Luna carve up Sporting KC and believes the 20 year old should be headed to the Paris Olympics to represent the United States.

Also on this edition of Talkin' Real DJ and Dunny focus on the playoff race in the west. After a wild 4-3 win at Sporting Kansas City, first place Real Salt Lake is now three points clear of LAFC and the LA Galaxy in the western playoff race. LAFC has a game in hand on both RSL and the Galaxy. The Galaxy visit Utah Saturday and with a victory they would move into a tie for the top spot in the west. The teams met in Southern California earlier this season and the Galaxy scored at the death to salvage a point with a 2-2 draw.

RSL returns home on Saturday, June 22nd to host the Los Angeles Galaxy at 7:30 at America First Field. The Utah Royals are back in action Friday June 21th at 6pm Mountain Time when they play in Orlando. The Royals return home June 29th to face the Portland Thorns.

Watch Talkin' Real every Thursday at 10:35pm on KMYU and at 1:15am on KUTV2.
