One Red Card Rewrote The Match: Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake 2:1
A 2-1 scoreline reads like countless other results, but this one was decided in a single moment, midway through the first half. Everything Portland Timbers did after that point owed less to any specific plan and more to a plain numerical fact — for nearly sixty minutes, they had one more player on the pitch than Real Salt Lake did.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many players are in Real Salt Lake's current squad?
30 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 7, midfielders — 11, attackers — 9.
How often do Real Salt Lake's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 1 match — average Crime Index 36, with 0 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
Across its 4 reviewed matches, Real Salt Lake averages just 29% Crime Index — one of the lowest figures among MLS clubs on this site. Even the club's single most anomalous match, a 1-2 road loss to Portland Timbers, only reaches 36%, an unusually low peak for a club at this level.
Finishing runs slightly below the model
Across the 5 matches with calculated xG, the club generated 7.86 expected goals and scored 7 — a small, non-critical shortfall. Combined with the low Crime Index volatility, that points to a team whose results have almost always tracked the quality of play.
One of the more predictable MLS clubs in the database
That combination of a low average and a modest peak makes Real Salt Lake a rare example of stability on the site: even the Portland loss reads as the logical outcome of an off night rather than an anomaly.
