SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake forward/midfielder Damir Kreilach scored his second goal of the night with a header in the second half against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The goal for Damir Kreilach was set up by a ball from Justin Meram into the box where Dami got his head on it and it went into the back of the net. That gave RSL a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute.
Another game. Another brace.

Kreilach scored his seventh goal of the season.
Just 43 seconds into the match, Kreilach got the ball inside the 18-yard box with a defender on his hip when he poked the ball with his right foot. The ball traveled far post past the keeper and gave RSL a 1-0 lead in the first minute of the match.
With Vancouver not allowed to travel outside of Canada, they are playing all of their matches at Rio Tinto Stadium. Wednesday’s match is considered a road game for Real Salt Lake.
