Salt City FC Ep. 24: RSL is winning, and Real Monarchs are streaking
Real Salt Lake picked up a 1–0 win over Minnesota United FC, snapping a two-match win streak following a disastrous road trip to Texas.
But they aren’t the only members of the organization winning — the Real Monarchs are 12–1–0 and just set a USL all-time record with nine consecutive victories.
“I have an unbelievable team. We have to realize that we have a young MLS team; this is not a USL team,” Monarchs captain Sebastian Velasquez said after the club’s historic win. “We train at an MLS level, against the first team sometimes, and we’ve shown that we can compete at that level. Our season is showing it.”
The win snapped Orlando City SC’s eight-match win streak set in 2014, and the club doesn’t plan on losing for a while. They’ll head to Arizona to face Didier Drogba and Phoenix Rising FC on Saturday.
Listen to the full interview with Velasquez and go-ahead goal-scorer Taylor Peay on episode 24 of the Salt City FC podcast, linked above.
