Pereyra's 89th‑Minute Equalizer Earns Minnesota a 1-1 Draw at Real Salt Lake
The stoppage‑time goal preserves a draw that leaves Minnesota winless in eight and underscores RSL's strong home form with rookie Sergi Solans leading the attack.
Overview
- At America First Field on Saturday, Sergi Solans put Real Salt Lake ahead in the 82nd minute and Joaquín Pereyra leveled in the 89th after a long goal kick and a Marcus Caldeira flick.
- Goalkeeper Drake Callender delivered the long clearance that started the equalizer, finished with six saves, and recorded his first career MLS goal contribution on the play.
- Substitute Marcus Caldeira again proved decisive by nodding the flick‑on that set up Pereyra, continuing a hot week that included two assists in Leagues Cup play.
- Minnesota remains without a win in eight straight matches, a streak that leaves coach Cameron Knowles facing tough selection choices despite late resilience.
- Real Salt Lake's home form stays strong and 23‑year‑old rookie Sergi Solans continued his productive season with his eighth goal, while Zach Booth's early exit with an apparent injury is a developing availability concern.
