Cristian Arango gave Real Salt Lake the lead for good when he took a pass from Ruiz and scored his first goal of the season in his first career match with the club. Arango tallied 30 goals over the past two seasons for Los Angeles FC.

Ruiz picked up another assist in the 41st minute on defender Justen Glad’s fourth netter of the campaign to give RSL a 2-0 lead at halftime.

Jefferson Savarino scored for a fifth time this season, using assists from Bryan Oviedo and Andrew Brody in the 78th minute to make it 3-0. Anderson Julio’s third goal of the season came off a final assist from Ruiz, completing the scoring in the 89th minute.

Pedro Gallese saved two shots for Orlando City.

The all-time series sits at 2-2-3. RSL’s previous win in the series was a 2-1 victory at home in April of 2019.

Real Salt Lake travels to play Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. Orlando City travels to play Atlanta United on Saturday.
