Real Salt Lake, founded in 2004 and joining MLS in 2005, quickly rose from expansion struggles to championship glory, capturing the 2009 MLS Cup in dramatic fashion. Under coach Jason Kreis, RSL developed a possession-oriented style centered around playmaker Javier Morales, captain Kyle Beckerman, and goalkeeper Nick Rimando, the league’s all-time leader in wins and shutouts. The 2009 championship run saw RSL upset the LA Galaxy in a penalty shootout, securing the club’s first and only MLS Cup title. Subsequent years brought more success as Real Salt Lake reached the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final—the first MLS team to do so in the modern era—and the 2013 MLS Cup Final, narrowly falling to Sporting Kansas City on penalties. Providence provided by strikers Álvaro Saborío and Robbie Findley, defender Nat Borchers, and Rimando’s legendary goalkeeping anchored RSL’s consistent playoff runs through the 2010s. Recent seasons have seen a focus on youth development and playoff resilience, with players like Damir Kreilach, Jefferson Savarino, and Pablo Ruiz leading under coach Pablo Mastroeni, highlighted by stunning playoff upsets including a 2021 win over Seattle without recording a single shot on goal in regulation. From underdog champions to modern playoff battlers, RSL’s history blends dramatic moments, iconic players, and a devoted fan base at America First Field.
