Real Salt Lake reduced to 9-men, fall 5-0.
JP Chunga recaps RSL’s trip to the DMV.
Well that didn’t go well. The struggles against DC-in-RFK translated to struggles against DC-in-Audi Field. The loss snapped Real Salt Lake’s two game winning streak against DCU. Nick Rimando’s final trip to his former stomping grounds ends in a 5-0 defeat. Wayne Rooney beat Rimando from the spot. Jefferson Savarino earned his first red card of his MLS career in first half stoppage time; Marcelo Silva received his second career sending off.

It’s red. Can’t kick a dude in the face no matter how short he is. #DCvRSL

Watching Wayne Rooney completely tear apart #RSL, I’m reminded of our report on @TheAthleticSCCR last year that laid his contract out in unprecedented detail. Wazza is making some walking-around money tonight, folks. #DCU #MLS https://t.co/iRyD2pwmAh pic.twitter.com/yWtwnuRndH
