Bobby Wood scored his second goal for the club when Jony Menendez sent in a perfect ball from the far right side of the attacking area. The ball, seemingly magnetized to Wood’s head, bounced off Bobby perfectly and past Brad Stuver, putting the home side up 1-0 about 10 minutes before the half.

Real Salt Lake had plenty of chances throughout the second half, bringing their attacking play to Austin while coming close a handful of times. Stuver stood on his head to keep the home side off the score sheet.
