Real Salt Lake (RSL) achieved a significant 1-0 victory against the Portland Timbers, marking their first MLS win in Portland since 2017 and ending the Timbers' 10-game home unbeaten streak.

This win also ended Portland's eight-year drought of regular-season victories at home, highlighting a major milestone for RSL.

The victory included RSL's first back-to-back clean sheets of the season and their first three-game winning streak in over a year, signaling a strong defensive and offensive turnaround.

Currently on a five-game unbeaten streak since June, RSL is just one point shy of playoff qualification as they approach the All-Star break.

Head coach Pablo Mastroeni praised Goncalves for his improved performance and credited the team's collective mindset for their recent success.

Diogo Goncalves scored the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute, his second goal in three games after an 11-match scoring drought, providing a crucial boost for the team.

Looking ahead, RSL is preparing to face FC Cincinnati, the second-place team in the Eastern Conference, in their upcoming home match.
