HERRIMAN, Utah (Wednesday, June 9, 2021) – Real Monarchs (1-3-2, 5 points) earned their first win and clean sheet of the season in a 2-0 victory over Sacramento Republic FC at Zions Bank Stadium.

Despite trailing in possession, the Monarchs led in shots on goal in the first half and two goals from Iloski gave the home side the lead at the break.
