For the first time this season, Real Salt Lake has won consecutive games.
RSL beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0 on Saturday night in Sandy, getting its second straight victory and stretching its unbeaten streak to four games.
William Agada scored in the 42nd minute after a corner kick from Pablo Ruiz, and RSL (7-10-4) held on to beat the Dynamo (7-10-5) for the second time this season.
RSL goalkeeper Rafael Cabral made four saves to earn the shutout. Cabral is the only player who has played every minute for RSL this season.
Both teams had 17 shots in the game, while RSL had a 5-4 advantage in shots on goal.
Agada, acquired from Sporting Kansas City in a trade on May 23, scored his second goal for RSL. He scored his first for the club at Austin on May 28
All-Star midfielder Diego Luna returned to RSL’s lineup after playing for the U.S. men’s national team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. The U.S. lost to Mexico last weekend in the championship game.
Last week, RSL beat St. Louis City SC 3-2.
Real Salt Lake is set to return to action Wednesday (8:30 p.m. MDT, Apple TV) at Portland — the only road game for RSL in an eight-game stretch — before returning home for a game next Saturday (7:30 p.m., Apple TV) against FC Cincinnati.
