Two clubs in opposite conferences of MLS will do battle today in a league match between Real Salt Lake and the Montreal Impact. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 p.m. ET will be held at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah and can be live streamed here.
Poor form has plagued both clubs in recent weeks. For Montreal, it's a three match losing streak that the team must snap if it hopes to return to the playoffs in 2014."It's hard, it's difficult, because you're always looking forward to the next game, and you say this is the moment," Impact head coach Frank Klopas said (via MLS's official website). "But it's just games like this [against the Columbus Crew] that you feel like you've got to get something out of it, and we're not."
Heath Pearce added: I'm at a loss for words. We have to find a way to keep going, whether its going our way or not. It feels like we've been swimming against the current since the start of the season. It's a really tough time."
