A few highlights from Salazar’s profile:
Official for 2009 All Star Game at Rio Tinto Stadium in Which Everton defeated the MLS All Stars on penalty kicks.
Center Official for 2011 MLS Cup Final.
I believe Salazar tends to be a bit of a “mixed bag’ when it comes to managing a game. He’s a veteran official and doesn’t mind being the center of attention for a match. He’s also not afraid to hand out cards like candy. We will see how RSL fans like him managing tonight.Salazar resides in Bakersfield, CA.
