Real Salt Lake beats Sounders 2-0 behind Forster Ajago, Rafael Cabral and own goal | Sports

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Real Salt Lake used a first-half own goal to grab the lead, Forster Ajago scored his first career goal late in the second half and Rafael Cabral notched a clean sheet in his second MLS start with a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Saturday. Real Salt Lake (1-1-0) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 8th minute of its home opener on an own goal by Seattle defender Nouhou Tolo. An own goal by Sounders defender Yéimar Gomez Andrade in the third minute of second-half stoppage time allowed Charlotte FC to escape with a 2-2 draw last week in a season opener in Seattle. That’s where the score stood until Ajago took a pass from Diogo Gonçalves in the 79th minute and found the net for some insurance. Ajago scored in his first start and second appearance this season. He did not have a hand in a goal while making three starts and 12 appearances as a rookie last season for Nashville SC. Cabral finished with three saves in posting his first shutout in his second start in the league. The 34-year-old allowed four goals in a road loss to the San Jose Earthquakes to

Aggies fall flat again in loss to Rams | Sports

For a second consecutive outing, Utah State played arguably its worst game of the season with a 93-66 loss to Colorado State on Saturday afternoon. The 27-point undressing followed a 17-point defeat at Boise State on Wednesday and marked the largest margin of defeat in a conference game for USU since 2008. It pretty much goes without saying that at every point, in any category, Utah State found itself out-matched. And it began early. Colorado State jumped out to a 10-0 lead — the first of what would eventually be the first of five runs of 8-0 or better for the Rams. The blitz set the tone from which Utah State had no response and no recovery. “Just totally outclassed, outplayed, outcoached,” USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said of his team’s performance. “This is on the whole entire organization. It felt like (Colorado State) came for the knockout blow early in the game and they knocked us out. So, disappointed on a lot of fronts.” Among the many areas of high-level success the Rams showcased was 3-point shooting. They made 14 of 21 attempt from distance, marking the first time in more than four years that Colorado State has made 14
