Anderson Julio strikes against Dallas

Dallas hosted RSL at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas on Saturday, May 25.

In the 73rd minute, Julio gave Pablo Mastroeni what he was looking for after the manager inserted the forward into the game in place of Diego Luna late in the second half.

Julio rocketed a shot on frame and pulled Real Salt Lake within a goal of Dallas.

It was Julio’s third goal of the season. He entered the contest with two goals on 15 shots this season.

RSL entered the match atop the Western Conference standings with an 8-4-2 record and 28 points this season. Dallas came into the contest owning a 3-3-6 record.
