Impact Luna supplied the assists for two of the four Real Salt Lake goals Wednesday as they would march on to defeat Sporting Kansas City by a margin of 4 - 3. Included in Luna's repertoire was a sumptuous outlet ball from his own half that split the Kansas City backline and created a one-one-one situation with the keeper. Luna has now started in eight successive league matches. Over that span, he's scored twice and provided three assists.

That's now two goals and one assist over the last three starts for the forward, who could be set for a breakthrough campaign if able to keep it up over the upcoming weeks.

Back on bench Luna (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Kansas City.

Impact Luna is back on the bench for Saturday's match, after missing two weeks with a calf injury. The winger has been a consistent piece of the first team, and a starter, more often than not. Fidel Barajas has done well in his place but Luna will likely start once more when fit.

Out to face Union Luna is out for Saturday's match against Philadelphia, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Luna will not be an option for the weekend, as he has been ruled out after picking up a calf issue against Chicago in the club's last match. He has started in six of his eight appearances this season, so this will force a change, with Fidel Barajas likely taking his place. Luna's next chance to return will be against Sporting Kansas City on May 4.

Real Salt Lake has steadily incorporated Luna into the lineup over the previous two seasons, doubling his number appearances in 2023 from that of 2022. Luna has responded positively to the challenge, as he managed seven goals and one assist over his 26 appearances (17 starts) in 2023. Luna also appears to be adding to the diversity of his game, having already attempted 10 crosses in 2024 after attempting just 22 in all of 2023.
