SANDY, Utah – Albert Rusnak and Real Salt Lake didn’t waste any time getting their first goal of the game against San Jose on Saturday afternoon.
In the ninth minute of the first half, Albert Rusnak got the ball that was headed out of the box by San Jose. Rusnak passed the ball to Damir Kreilach, who quickly got the ball back to Rusnak, who slipped the ball into the back of the net. It was basically the give-and-go in basketball.
It’s the ninth goal of the season and the 39th of Rusnak’s career in a Real Salt Lake uniform.
