Stephen Sunday’s first season in the Claret and Cobalt is a misleading one on paper. He appeared in just 15 of the 34 regular season games for Real Salt Lake (all of them starts), and tallied just a single goal (against Seattle in the second game of the season). The team also had a goal differential in those 15 games of just +1.
But don’t let those points detract from the overall truth.
Sunny’s added more to this team than many other additions over the last few seasons. Prior to his June 22nd injury (one where a head-to-head collision with New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles which resulted in multiple facial fractures), RSL was 8-4-3 with a +1 goal differential.
