PORTLAND — A goal by Jordan Allen in the 83rd minute for Real Salt Lake erased a 1-0 deficit versus the Vancouver Whitecaps and kept RSL undefeated in preseason play.
After a scoreless first half in which RSL outshot the Whitecaps 10-4, Vancouver reached the scoreboard in the 70th minute on a bendy right-footed shot by Yordy Reyna.
Allen’s goal came off a feed from Joao Plata as Plata crossed midfield. Allen received the ball on his chest, got into position and beat Vancouver goaltender Paolo Tornaghi for the equalizer.
