Photos: Real Salt Lake overpowers Portland to snap 2-match skid
Zavier Gozo and Diego Luna each scored a goal in the first half to help Salt Lake to a 2-0 win over the Timbers, snapping a two-match losing skid and keeping pace with the top of the West.
Zavier Gozo and Diego Luna each scored a goal in the first half to help Salt Lake to a 2-0 win over the Timbers, snapping a two-match losing skid and keeping pace with the top of the West.
With the win, Real Salt Lake inched up to sixth place in the Western Conference with 19 points on a 6-3-1 record, including a 5-1 mark at home.
After Gozo opened the match with a stunning goal — and equally stunning handspring celebration — Luna set a milestone with his third goal in five appearances for Salt Lake.
The 23-year-old U.S. international totaled his 50th goal contribution in 101 appearances in a Salt Lake uniform, numbering 25 goals and 25 assists as he tries to maintain his case for Mauricio Pochettino’s U.S. squad at the 2026 World Cup on home soil.
Photographer Tyler Staten was at Luna’s milestone match. Here’s are some of his favorite flicks.
