Real Salt Lake 4:0 Mazatlán FC: Leagues Cup Match Result

Match report

Real Saint-Lake beat Mazatlán 4:0 in the Cup League group stage on Saturday evening. Solans opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute, and by then the visitors were already on the back foot. The hosts kept pressing, and Mazatlán could only watch.

Booth doubled the lead fifty minutes in, just after the interval. Engel made it three shortly after, and the game was effectively over. Ruiz added a fourth in stoppage time, ending a barren spell for the home side.

And here's the thing — the substitutions came late. Booth came off in the sixty-sixth minute, followed by Spierings. Guilavogui and Katranis were brought on in the second half, while Katranis saw yellow before being replaced.

Mazatlán had more attacks, seventy-four to sixty-nine, but shots tell a different story. Saint-Lake hit the target eight times with five off target. The visitors managed four on target from twelve attempts, and the accuracy gap was telling.

Possession sat at fifty-four percent for the hosts, but it was the quality of the final third that mattered. Saint-Lake created two big chances against one, and the key passes showed it — twelve to eight. The result gives them breathing room in the group.
