RSL earns exhibition game tie

Real Salt Lake tallied a pair of second half goals from Freddy Adu and Duke Hashimoto to draw 2-2 Thursday with Spanish Segunda Division club Rayo Vallecano.

The draw improves RSL's preseason record to 3-3-2, with three Madrid-based games and three U.S. games remaining prior to the April 7 home opener at Rice-Eccles Stadium vs. FC Dallas.

Rayo Vallecano pressed early and forged a two-goal lead by halftime before RSL regrouped in the second half, dominated possession down the stretch and fought back with two goals in the final 14 minutes to earn the draw.

Rayo lead the Spanish Segunda B league and are headed towards a 16-team playoff with their sights set on one of four promotion spots to the Spanish Second Division.

Their lineup featured several key players who have propelled their success this season, which has included knocking out defending champions Espanyol.

REAL SALT LAKE LINEUP: Nick Rimando (Chris Seitz 46); Jack Stewart, Eddie Pope, Danny Torres, Jean-Martial Kipre (Chris Lancos 63), Chris Klein, Kenny Cutler (Duke Hashimoto 63), Carey Talley, Freddy Adu, Jeff Cunningham (Andy Williams 46), Luis Tejada (Kyle Brown 73).
