A bit after 7:10 p.m. Saturday, Rio Tinto Stadium should turn deep red.
In tribute to Real Salt Lake's star midfielder Javier Morales, who suffered a gruesome ankle injury in last Saturday's game against Chivas USA, the team is making available for download red signs bearing Morales' number 11.
The instructions that come with the sign read:
"Please hold this sign up during the 11th minute (when the clock reaches minute 10) during tonight's match. The goal is to salute Javier Morales as he recovers from surgery and let him know he is in our thoughts."
The Tribune's Michael C. Lewis reports that Chivas' Marcos Mondaini, who delivered the late tackle that shattered Morales' ankle, will be suspended for four games and will be fined $1,250. "The Disciplinary Committee determined that Mondaini's tackle was reckless and endangered the safety of his opponent," an MLS statement said.
RSL's match against the Houston Dynamo is set for Saturday at 7 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium, 9300 S. State St., Sandy.
