RSL got the response it needed, the Royals kept rolling, and the Boot Room goes solo this week.

With Kayla out sick, Giles rides solo for a slightly delayed episode covering Real Salt Lake’s dominant 2-0 win over the Portland Timbers, the club’s first clean sheet of 2026, and standout performances from Diego Luna, Zavier Gozo, Rafa Cabral, and Noel Caliskan.

Then we shift to the Utah Royals, who stayed hot with a 2-0 win over Houston Dash, extended their shutout streak, and continued one of the best runs of form in club history behind big performances from Cloé Lacasse, Mina Tanaka, Courtney Brown, Kate Del Fava, and Mandy McGlynn.
