  "account": "Real Salt Lake secured a 3-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City in a match held in Kansas City, Kansas on Saturday night. Morgan Guilavogui was the star of the game, finding the back of the net twice while Sergi Solans contributed a goal as well. Rafael Cabral made one save for Real Salt Lake (10-14-6).\n\nGuilavogui's first goal came in the 11th minute, when he slipped a shot from near the right end line past goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland and into the back post. His second goal arrived in the 61st minute, following a first-touch shot off a deflection from Noel Caliskan. This was Guilavogui's first career multi-goal game in his first MLS season.\n\nSergi Solans scored the third goal in the 14th minute, helping Real Salt Lake extend their lead. Taylor Calheira was the only goal scorer for Sporting Kansas City, netting a goal in the 26th minute. Sporting had a losing record of 6-20-4 in the season, which made them the first team eliminated from contention for the 2026 MLS Cup playoffs. Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, went into the match with a 22-point haul this season, which was the fewest in the league. Montreal, with a goal differential of minus-24, had the worst record in the league, just ahead of Sporting Kansas City with a minus-39 differential.",
