After taking the lead in the first half, Real Salt Lake had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Minnesota United when the Loons scored in the 87th minute of their game Saturday at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn.
Real Salt Lake’s Chicho Arango, coming off a hat trick last week against St. Louis, scored on a header in the 24th minute to give RSL a 1-0 lead. Andres Gomez set up the goal by playing a ball across the face of the goal.
But Minnesota’s Tani Oluwaseyi scored the equalizer in the 87th minute.
Minnesota’s Joseph Rosales was sent off on a red card late in the game, but RSL was unable to capitalize.
RSL is now 3-2-2, sitting in third place in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference, while Minnesota is 3-1-2 and in fourth place.
Real Salt Lake returns home to host the MLS Cup-champion Columbus Crew on Saturday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m.
