Bassi’s opening goal was followed by a beautiful setup from Héctor Herrera who passed the ball to defender Griffin Dorsey for his third goal of the season.
Real Salt Lake got a lucky break when an accidental own goal from Houston defender Erik Sviatchenko began the second half. After the rapid play and unceremonious goal, the audience was noticeably confused when the scoreboard was updated.
