With only six reg. season games remaining, RSL needs to maximize its home record to pull back into the Western Conference postseason race, looking to improve upon its 11-4-3 (W-L-T) mark on Utah soil across all competitions this year.<\/p>\n In Saturday\u2019s 2-1 loss at Philadelphia, RSL welcomed the return of several players from injury, international absences and visa issues, as Juan Manuel Sanabria<\/a> (Uruguay), Saba Lobjanidze<\/a> (Georgia), Kobi Henry<\/a> (Trinidad), Luc de Fougerolles<\/a> (Canada \/ visa), Zach Booth<\/a> (hamstring) and Ariath Piol<\/a> (Achilles) all featured. Lobjanidze scored his third goal in the last six matches for RSL, assisted by Canadian World Cup standout de Fougerolles, who became all-time RSL player No. 245 in the Club\u2019s 22-year history, and the ninth player in RSL annals to register an assist in his Club debut.<\/p>\n Real Salt Lake has won three of its last four against the Earthquakes on Utah soil, with San Jose last winning in Sandy in 2024. All-time at what is now America First Field, RSL boasts eight wins and three draws against five losses against the Earthquakes, who lead the all-time overall series between the clubs, with 15 wins and seven draws against 13 RSL wins, dating back to the Utah side\u2019s 2005 expansion season.

Nineteen-year-old Academy homegrown Aiden Hezarkhani<\/a> scored just two minutes into the match for the early lead \u2013 boosting RSL to 57W-12L-22T all-time when scoring first in five-plus years during the Pablo Mastroeni era \u2013 while 2026 RSL Golden Boot leader Sergi Solans<\/a> scored a pair of second-half goals, increasing his 2026 total to 15 goals across all competitions, and 11 in MLS action, extending his all-time Club rookie record. Solans\u2019 brace enabled him to become just the sixth collegiate rookie in the 31-season history of Major League Soccer to score 10 or more goals in his first professional season. The emphatic victory snapped RSL\u2019s record 13-game winless run in MLS action dating back to May 16, as well as an overall five-game home drought dating back to August 11 against Liga MX side FC Juarez.<\/p>\n
