HERRIMAN, Utah – With his team trailing 3-1 late in the game, Real Monarchs midfielder Josh Heard converted on a pass off a corner kick to cut the deficit in half in the 84th minute.
Receiving a low, bouncing corner kick entry pass, Heard turned and fired a shot on frame and smoked it past Fresno goalkeeper CJ Cochran for the goal.
It was the first goal of the season for Heard.
