David Ochoa - Out against Houston Ochoa is out as an injury precaution for Saturday's clash with Houston Dynamo.

Impact Ochoa is out of the lineup for precautionary reasons. It's uncertain how long the netminder will be out, but he is clearly the number one in Salt Lake when available. It's a case of wait-and-see before Wednesday's clash with LA Galaxy for Ochoa.

David Ochoa - Collects third clean sheet in win Ochoa made one save and received one clean sheet in the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Ochoa was not tested much at all in the win Saturday. Colorado did have multiple attempts, but a majority of them were not on net to challenge the keeper. After conceding four goals and making 12 saves over the last two appearances, Ochoa was gifted the opportunity to reset. This performance does show an alarming trend though. Ochoa seems very hard to predict whether he will play poorly or great. While he is in form though, it makes sense to ride the hot hand.

Albert Rusnak - Shows very little huge win Rusnak assisted once, produced one shot (none on target), sent one cross (none accurate), took one corner and made one tackle (none won) in the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday...

Impact Rusnak was invisible for the majority of the match Saturday. The midfielder slotted into his typical position at attacking mid, but he did not support the offense or create much either. Luckily he was able to pick up another assist on the season to balance out his lack of production. Nevertheless, this performance seems more of an outlier than anything else and he should bounce back at Houston next week.

Ashtone Morgan - Clears immediate danger in win Morgan picked up one interception, made one clearance and received one yellow card in the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Morgan did little to nothing during the win Saturday. However, he very well saved the game when he cleared the ball off the goal line. This is Morgan's second appearance all season and his first start of the season. It is too hard to tell from a small sample size what he is capable of producing. However, it is worthwhile to monitor his play over the next few fixtures.

Bobby Wood - Scores first MLS goal in big win Wood scored once, took one shot (one on target), created one chance and drew two fouls in the 3-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Wood produced very little in terms of stats during the match Saturday. However, he was much more active on and off the ball than the stats indicate. This was also Wood's second ever start in the MLS and he scored a world-class goal to further the score gap. Wood did not see much success during his career in the Bundesliga and it remains to be seen what he can truly accomplish with Real Salt Lake.

Rubio Rubin - Finds form once again Rubin scored once, took one shot (one on target) and drew two fouls during the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Rubin has been in very poor form for the majority of the season. However, he seems to be picking back up where he left off at the beginning stages of the new campaign. Through his first five appearances, he had four goals, two assists, 14 shots, nine created chances and five crosses. When he dropped form in the seven matches after, he had eight shots and two crosses. When Rubin is in form, he does not shy away from anything. However, he is also opposite when he is not in form. Luckily he is rounding a corner and while the boot is hot, it is all systems a go.

Damir Kreilach - Creates beautiful assist in 3-0 win Kreilach assisted once, produced one shot (none on target), created two chances, took one corner, made two tackles (two won) and received one yellow card in the 3-0 win over Colora...

Impact Kreilach was pure magic in the win Saturday. The midfielder dominated and he was easily the most influential on the game. His stats may suggest otherwise, but he controlled the flow both on and off the ball. Kreilach also managed to pick up his fourth assist of the season with a beautiful outside of the boot pass. Outside of his shooting volume, he does not provide much. Nevertheless, Kreilach remains one of the more important pieces for Real Salt Lake.

Damir Kreilach - Takes three shots against Galaxy Kreilach took three shots, but didn't steer any on target in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Kreilach also created two chances in addition to his shot attempts, although he didn't help directly lead to any of his club's goals. He also made two clearances, drew a foul and committed a foul of his own. Kreilach only has two goals in his last six games, but he has been solid overall with seven goals and four assists (one secondary) through 13 appearances this season. Real Salt Lake will host Colorado at home Saturday.
