Diego Luna scored two pivotal goals in Real Salt Lake's 3-1 victory over San Diego FC, helping the team snap a two-game losing streak.

Luna opened the scoring just before halftime with a solo effort, showcasing his skill by intercepting a pass and striking the ball into the corner of the net.

His second goal came from the penalty spot, confidently converted into the bottom left corner after a handball was called against a San Diego defender.

This match also marked a significant milestone for RSL's coach Pablo Mastroeni, as he achieved his 100th career coaching win.

With this victory, Real Salt Lake improved their season record to 4 wins, 6 losses, and 0 draws, currently placing them 10th in the Western Conference.

RSL's goalkeeper Rafael Cabral made six crucial saves during the match, helping secure the win against San Diego's goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, RSL's Brayan Vera suffered an injury in the first half after a collision with San Diego's goalkeeper and had to exit the game.

San Diego FC, despite a strong performance with 18 shots, fell to a record of 4 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws in their inaugural MLS season.

Luna, who is both the reigning MLS Young Player of the Year and a 2024 MLS All-Star, received praise from Mastroeni for his leadership and performance.

With seven goal contributions in ten matches, Luna is on track to surpass his previous career highs, projecting to score 17 goals and provide seven assists this season.

Looking ahead, Real Salt Lake will face the Vancouver Whitecaps on May 3, 2025, marking the beginning of a challenging stretch with six of their next eight games played away from home.

As of April 28, 2025, Luna has been named to Major League Soccer's Matchday 10 fictional XI for the third time this season.
