In an edge-of-the-seat thriller at the BMO Field (Toronto, Ontario) on 1st of July, Real Salt Lake edged out Toronto with a clinical 1-0 victory. The fan commentaries on social media showed the palpitating excitement of this Major League Soccer encounter.

The first half of the game saw both teams locked in a goalless deadlock. It was only in the 90+2' minute that Anderson Julio managed a breakthrough for Real Salt Lake, breaking Toronto's resistance. His goal unequivocally gave the visitors their hard-fought victory and sent Toronto's hope smashing to the ground.

The performance of the Toronto team left some fans unimpressed, with one such fan sarcastically comparing the performance to 'ball watching'. The result was evidently frustrating for the home squad followers.

On the other hand, Real Salt Lake supporters couldn’t contain their joy. Their shock and immense joy at stealing three points was palpable.

As far as team changes went, substitutions were made from both ends. Toronto made key replacements with J. Marshall-Rutty, D. Kerr, L. Stefanovic, Alonso Coello, and A. Akinola stepping in. On the Real Salt Lake side, B. Hidalgo, A. Julio, I. Paul, B. Jacquesson, and B. Oviedo were brought in.

The game was managed by T. Dunfield for Toronto and P. Mastroeni for Real Salt Lake, while M. de Oliveira held the game's reins as the referee.

Toronto will be looking to bounce back when they take on Orlando City, while Real Salt Lake will aim to maintain their momentum versus the same team as they meet them next.

Despite the close encounter, what gave Real Salt Lake the edge in this particular game was Anderson Julio's late goal. A last-minute stab that resulted in Real Salt Lake's victory. His clinical finish was, no doubt, the game's biggest high-octane moment.
