Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

You can't fault the commitment.

During Real Salt Lake's game against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night, midfielder Luke Mulholland spotted his keeper Nick Rimando collide with an opponent.

The ball was still up in the air and seemingly flying towards an unguarded net - Mulholland decided he was going to do everything in his power to keep Real in the game.

Unfortunately he got it slightly wrong.

Leaping in the air, Mulholland fails to realise that the ball is heading for the top of the bar - and he is heading straight for the post...

Fortunately he was not hurt and Real Salt Lake went on to win thanks to a 93rd minute Lmes Garcia goal.
