New York City, Real Salt Lake play to scoreless draw

SANDY, Utah — Luis Barraza saved four shots in goal for New York City FC and Zac MacMath made one for Real Salt Lake as the two clubs played to a scoreless draw on Saturday night.

NYCFC (4-7-6) earned its first road point in the series after losing on its first three tries.

NYCFC is 0-5-3 in its last eight matches. The club's only longer winless streak was an 11-match skid in 2015 — its first season.
