Dave Checketts was working for the NBA when he fell in love with soccer while traveling in Europe. He decided he wanted to build a club in his home state of Utah, but he had no idea the obstacles and heartache he’d face.

More about Making Of A Moment

In sports, there are moments that transcend a single game. But what if we told you how that on-field moment was created?
