Real are the last undefeated team remaining in MLS this season, coming off a 2-2 draw at Philadelphia Union last weekend. The Timbers are still looking for their first win of the campaign, after a 1-1 home draw with Chivas USA last Saturday. REFEREE: Drew Fischer.

Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. RSL: P3 W0 L1 D2 … Jeff Cassar vs. POR: first game REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake remained undefeated to open the 2014 season, playing to a second consecutive draw with a 2-2 result vs. Philadelphia Union on Saturday afternoon at PPL Park. RSL are in a tie second place in the Western Conference with 10 points from 6 matches. LAST MATCH RSL took the lead after just six minutes, after Union center back Austin Berry took down Olmes Garcia at the edge of the penalty area and referee Alan Kelly pointed to the spot. Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath stopped Alvaro Saborío's penalty kick -- but Luke Mulholland beat everyone to the rebound and slotted home inside the left post. Union pulled level 10 minutes after the second-half restart when Andrew Wenger opened his Union scoring account, racing on to a perfect, chipped long ball over the top from Vincent Nogueira, then controlling it with his chest before beating RSL goalkeeper Jeff Attinella. But RSL nosed back in front in the 85th minute. After the Union lines weren't completely cleared from a corner, hard work by Sebastian Velasquez got the ball to Javier Morales, and his brilliant cut-back found Kyle Beckerman to pound a shot home from the heart of the area. Yet Union had one final answer on the stroke of full-time, when Maurice Edu snapped home a header from a Cristián Maidana corner kick to provide the equalizing goal. RSL head coach Jeff Cassar made three changes to the team that played to a scoreless draw with Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park. Tony Beltran and Chris Wingert came back into the back four for Rich Balchan and Abdoulie Mansally, and Luke Mulholland started in midfield in place of Luis Gil. REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Jeff Attinella - Tony Beltran, Chris Schuler, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Luke Mulholland (Sebastian Velasquez 73), Kyle Beckerman, Ned Grabavoy - Javier Morales - Olmes Garcia (Devon Sandoval 68), Alvaro Saborio.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
TEAM NEWS Real Salt Lake are the only undefeated team still standing in Major League Soccer following the 2-2 draw at Philadelphia. It’s also the longest RSL has started a season without a loss; they won their opening four games in 2011 before suffering a defeat. “At the end of the day I am happy with a road point, I think there was three points to get, but I am happy with one, happy to stay undefeated and excited about coming home. ... I think we are going to get better and that is what really is exciting,” said RSL head coach Jeff Cassar. “We are not playing our best soccer right now, but were still getting results and that is up to me to get the guys going.” Union’s opening goal in the second half ended RSL’s shutout streak at 291 minutes, the longest this season in Major League Soccer. The LA Galaxy have a 251-minute streak alive after their 1-0 home win vs. Vancouver. “We just wanted to come out with an aggressive mentality this game. We were not talking about streaks or goalless streaks or anything like that, just talking about being aggressive and to impose our will on them and I thought we did that for the most part but we got caught, we got caught on a counter attack and we got caught on a set play,” said Cassar. Real have held the lead in three of their four drawn matches this season (one was a scoreless draw), and for the second time this season, conceded the equalizing goal in the 90th minute or later. “Kind of similar to the feeling of San Jose,” Kyle Beckerman said. “You'd take a draw before the game, but then when we're [ahead] that late in the game, we'd like to take all three. ... I think it was really important for us to get some points — pick up a win, pick up ties on the road. That's what we can build on. Said Ned Grabavoy: “Obviously it is tough to get a tie on the road usually in this league so you’re feeling good about yourself. We have had this two times in the first six games where we had leads really late in the game and we cannot seem to pick up all three points.” Álvaro Saborío failed to convert a penalty kick for just the second time in 15 attempts in league games. The first came last April 6, when he was saved by Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin. Luke Mulholland scored his second goal of the season, converting the rebound from Saborío penalty kick miss. Mulholland was making his second MLS start, his first since March 15. “We all have confidence in (Alvaro Saborio) scoring those. Penalties do not always get scored, it is important to follow it through, follow it up, and just right place, right time,” Mulholland said. “All I did was just try to redirect it back on goal fortunately enough to find the corner.” Javier Morales recorded his second assist of the season, his second in the last three matches. PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their season-opening winless streak extended with a second consecutive draw, this time a 11 tie with Chivas USA on Saturday evening at Providence Park. The Timbers are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 4 points from 6 games. LAST MATCH The Timbers took the lead after just seven minutes. Maximiliano Urruti picked up a failed Chivas USA clearance and threaded a pass to Darlington Nagbe, who sliced a pass through two defenders to Will Johnson in open space. His rolling shot from just outside the box slipped past Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. But the visitors hit for the equalizer 11 minutes from time. Following a long pass down the left wing, Leandro Barrera crossed to the far post to an open Erick Torres, who tapped in for the easiest of finishes. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes that reached a 4-4 draw with Seattle Sounders FC at Providence Park. Donovan Ricketts came back in between the posts for Andrew Weber, and Mamadou Danso started in central defense in place of Norberto Paparatto. PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell, Pa Modou Kah, Mamadou Danso, Michael Harrington - Diego Valeri - Diego Chara, Will Johnson - Kalif Alhassan (Gaston Fernandez 62), Maximiliano Urruti, Darlington Nagbe. TEAM NEWS The Timbers saw the season-opening winless streak stretched to six games – but claimed a draw for the fourth time – in the deadlock with Chivas USA. The Timbers last year led the league with 15 draws, one shy of the MLS single-season record. “We want to win. We are used to winning. So I think anything that is not a win, especially at home, is going to feel like a loss,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “When you’re on the road, you’ll swallow a draw. You’re not playing for a draw, but if you get one, it’s not a bad result at all, but at home it’s important to get three points as much as possible. We’re behind the 8-ball, obviously. There are plenty of examples of teams that started slow that have won it all.” For a third consecutive game, the Timbers allowed the tying or losing goal late in the match, with Chivas USA scoring in the 79th minute. FC Dallas hit for the winner on March 29 in the 84th minute, and Seattle scored two goals after the 85th minute.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“One of two things has to happen, you either get the second goal or you manage the game 1-0,” Porter said. “And we were able to last year win a lot of games 1-0. We won a few games where it was more than that, but the majority of the games in this sport are 1-0 one way or another. Sometimes you don’t find the second goal, and we didn’t, but we have to win that game 1-0 if we don’t.” There was a key change in central defense as Mamadou Danso started in favor of Norberto Paparatto. Alvas Powell made his second consecutive start at right back, in favor of Jack Jewsbury. I thought the back four was also much better, much tighter. I thought they did a great job, actually, over the course of the game with their box defending; they cut out a lot of crosses. It’s just unfortunate that [Erick Torres] got loose for the one, because we got punished,” Porter said. “I thought overall the defending was much better, the box defending, on set pieces and on crosses was much better. But we still have to, like I said at 1-0, keep a clean sheet so we win that game.” After missing out on the Seattle match entirely, Gaston Fernández came off the bench for the final half-hour vs. Chivas USA, in place of Kalif Alhassan. Donovan Ricketts returned between the posts following a two-match absence, one enforced following his sending-off in the 2-0 loss to Colorado on March 22. “We’re going to get a win. We’re going to get a lot of wins. But right now, things aren’t going our way, but we don’t dwell on that, we keep on playing because we’re not playing badly. The break is going to come and we are going to start winning,” said Ricketts. “ … There’s nothing to panic about, it’s a long season. Some people start good early and some people pick up late. Looks like we are the latter, we are going to pick up late, but we are going to do well.”

CASSAR ERA = 6-GAME UNBEATEN RUN:
40 days ago, RSL bench debutant Jeff Cassar became the first of the club’s three all-time coaches to earn a win in his debut, as both John Ellinger (April, 2005) and Jason Kreis (May, 2007) drew in their first-ever games ... Unbeaten through 6 MLS games for the first time ever, RSL is 2-0-4 w/ 10 points, including 4 points from a home-and-home with LA, 6 road points (W at LA, T at SJ/KC/PHI) and 4 home points (T v LA, W v TOR) ...

NEW STAFF, LOADS OF MLS EXPERIENCE:
All four of RSL’s new assistants - Daryl Shore, RSL veteran Andy Williams, former Houston Dynamo FW Paul Dalglish and former LA/SJ/HOU DF Craig Waibel - played professionally, with Shore and Dalglish both minor-league head coaches a year ago ... Combined, RSL’s coaching staff has won MLS Cup as either a player or coach a total of eight times (Waibel 4x, Dalglish 2x, Cassar/Williams 1x each) ...
EXEMPLARY DEPTH FOR RSL:
In just 6 games to open 2014, RSL boss Jeff Cassar has started 17 different players, with a total of 22 already seeing time this young MLS season ... Only DF Kwame Watson-Siriboe, MF John Stertzer, FW Robbie Findley and a trio of homegrowns - GK Lalo Fernandez, FW Benji Lopez & DF Justen Glad - who have not yet appeared ...
FAMILIARITY BREEDING CONTEMPT?:
RSL and PDX met six times across all competitions last season - including 3 times in 24 August days - RSL posting a 4-0-2 mark against the Timbers, outscoring Portland 14-8 across all competitions ...
The most complete team win in recent memory came 3 weeks ago at home, when RSL saw a pair of Alvaro Saborio goals sandwiched around a Luis Gil strike to dominate a highly-anticipated visit from Michael Bradley, Jermain Defoe and Toronto FC, winning 3-0 against the $100 million men ...
The Western Conference Final series - won 5-2 on aggregate by RSL - bolstered the burgeoning rivalry, as the 6 meetings in a single season set a new mark for RSL, which saw Seattle 5 times in 2012 in regular / postseason play, and played Columbus 4 times in MLS / CONCACAF action in 2011 ...
RSL hired Cassar as its 3rd head coach in club history back on December 18, just 11 days after falling in MLS Cup 2013 via PK shootout, and just 8 days after Kreis announced he would accept the NYCFC offer ...
RSL is unbeaten in its last 10 games against Portland - losing only the teams’ first-ever meeting 0-1 at JELDWen 3 days after dropping the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final v Monterrey - a span that includes 7 reg. season games, one Open Cup semifinal and two playoff matches ...
Cassar joined RSL back in May, 2007 as one of Jason’s first hires, the duo teammates in Dallas during the early years of MLS ... The long-time assistant and former MLS goalkeeper worked closely with Kreis and GM Garth Lagerwey to institute the club’s “Team is the Star” ethos, with his ascension consistent with RSL’s “family” philosophy ...
RSL FORM TO BE ADMIRED:
RSL enters Saturday earning at least a point in 14 of its last 15 games overall (the West Semi Leg One at LA, 0-1; MLS Cup at KC technically a tie) ... RSL has earned points in 13 of its last 15 regular-season games, dropping backto-back games at SEA and v SJ in mid-Sept. of last year ... At Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL has posted an 8-1-2 mark in its last 11 games overall in MLS action ...
REAL SALT LAKE v PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY APRIL 19 2014
7:30 PM MT
TOUGH SLATE TO KICK OFF 2014:
2014 sets up with a difficult schedule for RSL from the outset, with 4 of its first 6 games and 6 of first 10 on the road … Early home games include perennial power Los Angeles, the new-look, star-studded Toronto FC and West rival Portland … Once the first 1/3 of the season is complete, RSL will likely lose 3 impact starters (Rimando, Beckerman, Saborio) to World Cup play, and have to use its depth – potentially the best in MLS – to navigate mid-May to late July, including (hopefully) multiple Open Cup dates, before have a completely healthy, rested and ready team for the stretch run starting July 30 …
LEG ONE REWIND :: ROARING BACK AT RIOT:
The Timbers return to Rio Tinto Stadium for the first time since last November’s 4-2 RSL win in Leg One of the 2013 Western Conference Finals, witnessed by 17,000+ who bought tickets in the 72-hour turnaround from the LA series win for RSL’s first-ever Sunday home game ... After conceding a 14’ free kick to former teammate Will Johnson, RSL ran off a run of four unanswered goals in 47 minutes to take commanding control of the series against Portland, prior to a spectacular header at the death by Timbers sub Frederic Piquionne that narrowed the margin at “halftime” to 4-2 ... The 4 goals scored by RSL in the first leg was the highest total in a 90-minute MLS playoff game since Chicago scored 4 at DC in an East Semi in 2005 … San Jose famously scored 5 goals in 96 minutes against LA in 2003, while the high-scoring 2002 MLS Cup Playoffs saw 4 occasions where 4 or more goals were scored by one team in 90 minutes (LA had 5 against KC in their Semi series) ...
ROLLIN’ 4X4 v TIMBERS - AGAIN:
The four goals by four different players - DF Chris Schuler, FW Robbie Findley, FW Devon Sandoval and MF Javier Morales - marked the 2nd time last season that RSL saw a 4-2 win over Portland at Rio Tinto Stadium with a goal-scoring quartet ... Back on August 30, 2013, RSL saw four goals by four different players in the 4-2 home win (MF Luis Gil, FW Joao Plata, Morales & FW Alvaro Saborio), a feat also accomplished by RSL in U.S. Open Cup play (a 5-2 home win over Charleston - Plata, Morales, Sandoval & MF Khari Stephenson) ... RSL saw 4 different players score in the same game three times in the 2010 season, including most recently on Sept. 15 in a 4-1 home CCL win over Toronto (Saborio, Beckerman, Olave & Paulo Junior) ... Back in April, 2009, RSL saw 6 different players score in the 2nd half of a 6-0 home win over NE, in the most prolific and diverse scoring period in club history ...
RIO TINTO STADIUM SANDY, UT
CHOPPING WOOD vs. TIMBERS:
The team truly is the star when it comes to Real Salt Lake’s success against Portland, as nine different RSL players scored against the Timbers in 2013 alone, and 10 current Claret-and-Cobalt players have scored against Portland in their career ... Not surprisingly, RSL’s most prolific scorer against Portland is Saborio, who has seven goals and one assist in seven games against the Oregon side ... RSL maestro Morales has also been excellent against Portland, posting four goals and five assists in 10 meetings against the Timbers ... And it’s not just all about the goals – seven different RSL players had assists against Portland in 2013, and eight current RSL players have assists against Portland all-time ... Here’s a full breakdown of current RSL players with goals and/ or assists against the Timbers: Alvaro Saborio: Javier Morales: Robbie Findley: Kyle Beckerman: Joao Plata: Luis Gil: Cole Grossman: Devon Sandoval: Chris Schuler: Ned Grabavoy: Nat Borchers: Chris Wingert:
7 goals, 1 assist – 7 games 4 goals, 5 assists – 10 games 2 goals, 1 assist – 6 games 1 goal, 4 assists – 9 games 1 goal, 4 assists - 6 games 1 goal, 2 assists – 9 games 1 goal – 1 game 1 goal – 2 games 1 goal – 4 games 1 goal – 10 games 1 goal – 11 games 1 assist – 10 games
THE MYTHICAL “FIRST-CHOICE XI”:
That depth regularly gets a chance to shine through at RSL, due to injuries, multiple competitions and the demands that national team duties place on the club’s roster ... A year ago, RSL started the same XI in back-to-back games only 4 times in 45 games across all competitions ... Then-boss Jason Kreis started the same XI in consecutive games to open 2013, did it again 13 games later in v. SJ & LA in early June, the team’s last such occurance (incl. playoffs) ... RSL rolled out the same XI just 4 times out of 46 games across all competitions in 2012 ... How rare are back-toback lineup duplicates for RSL? It happened only once in 45 games in 2011 (Aug 6/13) and just twice in 41 games in 2010 (June 25/July 2; July 31/Aug 7) ... Kreis fielded his “first-choice” starting XI for only 59 minutes in all of 2012 - back on May 5, a 2-1 home win over New England, a victory marred by the Will Johnson red card in the 59’ ... That occasion - the first of the year and only time in 34 MLS games in 2012, besides the July 31 CCL match at Herediano - came on nearly the one-year anniversary of the last regular-season occurance, May 7, 2011, when RSL saw Javier Morales chopped down from behind and lost until late Sept. with a horrifically broken ankle ...
REAL SALT LAKE v PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY APRIL 19 2014
7:30 PM MT
ONE GAME AWAY FROM EVEN ALL-TIME:
Should RSL win Saturday, the club’s all-time MLS regular-season mark would reach .500 at 108-108-77 ... Should RSL attain the “even” mark in MLS game 293, it would mark the first time since the club was 3-3-2 back in 2005 that RSL owned a .500 winning percentage ... RSL dropped to 32 games below .500 on May 24, 2008, after a 1-2 loss at Dallas, the club’s low-water mark in terms of overall record ... RSL went 8-5-8 the rest of the way to earn a playoff berth, knock out #1 seed Chivas and even host the West Final that season ...
ALL-TIME GOAL +/- TRENDS POSITIVELY:
It took 265 all-time regular-season matches, but the May 19 4-1 victory @CHV last year put RSL’s all-time aggregate goal differential in MLS play deep into positive territory at the conclusion of a game, the club scoring 341 goals all-time while conceding 338 ... The May 8 loss @MTL by 2-3 score returned the club’s all-time ledger back to even, after the first-ever foray into +1 territory 3 days prior with the 2-1 win @NE ... Back on Sept. 21, 2011 in a 3-1 win at Red Bull Arena in New York, RSL briefly got its goal +/- head above water, but a late Joel Lindpere goal dropped the side to even, three days before a 1-4 road loss at D.C. United ... When Jason Kreis took over RSL four games into the club’s third season in 2007, the differential was minus-43, eventually dropping as low as minus-57 after a loss at Dallas in May, 2008 ... It took 160 regular-season matches, but RSL finally made up the difference ... The 3-0 win v TOR on March 29 allowed RSL to set a new all-time +20 high-water mark, surpassing the +17 originally set last Aug. 30, in a 4-2 win v PDX, and matched in this season’s opening day 1-0 win @ LA ...
RIO TINTO STADIUM - THE FORTRESS:
RSL concluded the 2013 campaign with 3 consecutive wins at home, including 2-goal postseason victories over both Los Angeles (2-0 aet, reversing an 0-1 first leg deficit) and Portland (4-2 first leg, en route to 5-2 aggregate series win) to earn the West’s MLS Cup 2013 berth ... RSL was winless in its prior three games at Rio Tinto Stadium, dropping one-goal games at home to San Jose (Sept. 21, 1-2 loss) and D.C. United (Oct. 1, 0-1 loss in Open Cup Final) before earning a 1-1 draw v Dallas on Oct. 5 in a game that saw RSL play with only 10 men for the final 75 minutes ... While the Open Cup Final loss at home last season was the club’s 4th home setback across all competitions, the team went 16-4-4 a year ago (50 GF / 24 GA) ... RSL boasts a 77-16-24 mark in its last 117 home games dating back to the beginning of 2008, the first full season under GM Garth Lagerwey ... In that span, RSL has outscored opponents by 138 goals (224-86), with a 60-12-26 reg. season mark (180/68), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 5-1-1 playoffs (11/4), 5-2-0 Open Cup (16/9) and 2-0-1 int’l exhibition (5/2) ... All-time, RSL is now 75-31-39 in MLS regular-season play during 9+ seasons at home, outscoring opponents 240-140 ...
RIO TINTO STADIUM SANDY, UT
BECKERMAN, RIMANDO TOP TWO ACTIVES:
Entering Saturday’s match, RSL GK Nick Rimando and MF Kyle Beckerman rank first and second, respectively, amongst active MLS players in all-time regular season minutes played (Rimando: 31,653; Beckerman: 27,093), games played (NR: 350; KB: 331) and games started (NR: 350; KB: 302) ... Both players have played in MLS since 2000, when both debuted for the Miami Fusion ... Now in their 15th MLS campaigns, the duo have shared a locker room in 10 of those years (MIA 2000-01; RSL 2007-present) ...
SABORIO BACK TO LEAD RSL:
RSL FW Alvaro Saborio - the team’s all-time leading scorer with 71 goals in 121 games across all comps for the Claret/Cobalt - scored three goals in consecutive weeks at home against LA and TOR to open his account on the young MLS season ... Despite playing in just 16 MLS games last season, Saborio scored 12 goals for a league-leading strike rate of 0.75 per game ... Saborio also had 2 goals in 3 Open Cup games ... “Mr. Clutch” for RSL, Saborio has 18 gamewinners and 13 multi-goal games among the 103 league games that have seen his 55 goals, the highest scoring rate in league history for players with 75 or more career MLS games …
RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:
RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, usually leads RSL to victory when finding the back of the net ... Despite the heartbreak of MLS Cup 2013, RSL still owns a dominating 37-6-11 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... Entering his 5th year, Saborio joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s 10year, 345-game history across all competitions ... In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 71 goals in 121 games, w/ 22 game-winning goals and 16 multi-goal matches (18 and 13 in 102 MLS games) ... Prior to last year’s Aug. 18 1-2 L v DAL, the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, June 20 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ... RSL is only 20-28-21 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 17-8-6 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …
VETERAN CONTINUITY LEADS YOUNG CORE:
RSL’s 2014 roster is split into two factions as the club seeks to capture the elusive hardware from a year ago, as Cassar’s locker room boasts 11 players who have called RSL home for 5 or more years ... They are: Rimando (8 seasons), Beltran (7), Wingert (8), Beckerman (8), Borchers (7), Findley (6), Grabavoy (6), Morales (8), Gil (5), Schuler (5), Saborio (5) ... On the flipside, RSL also boasts a young group of 10 players who are aged 22 or younger, many of who will see extensive time in MLS, especially when Saborio, Beckerman and Rimando are tabbed for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil this Summer ... They are: Velasquez, Plata, Sandoval, Gil, Salcedo, Lalo, Allen, Garcia, Lopez & Glad ...
REAL SALT LAKE v PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY APRIL 19 2014
7:30 PM MT
LONGEST ACTIVE POSTSEASON STREAK:
RSL’s current streak of 6 consecutive MLS Cup Playoff berths is the longest active run of postseason competition, with only NE having a longer run of 8 consecutive years and NY 6 since 2000 ... Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ...
RAREFIED AIR OF SUSTAINED SUCCESS:
The Sept. 29 win last year @ VAN put RSL at both the 15win and 50-point plateaus for the FOURTH consecutive season, something no MLS club had accomplished in the post-shootout era (LA Galaxy 2010-13 joined RSL with a late-season win over Montreal) ... D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 teams, as well as Los Angeles Galaxy 2010/11/12 joined RSL 2010-12 as the only teams to have put together three straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...
GUNNING FOR YET ANOTHER FINAL:
New RSL boss Jeff Cassar and crew look to emerge from this season by not only advancing to the club’s 9th Conference, League or continental title, but bringing home elusive hardware ... Since the 2008 campaign – the first full season under former head coach Jason Kreis and GM Garth Lagerwey, RSL’s record in final games/series: Year Final Result 2008 West Final vs New York L, 0-1 2009 East Final @ Chicago T, 0-0 (5-4 PKs) MLS Cup vs Los Angeles T, 1-1 (5-4 PKs) 2010 -2011 CCL Final v Monterrey T, 2-2 / L, 0-1 West Final @ Los Angeles L, 1-3 2012 -2013 Open Cup Final v D.C. United L, 0-1 West Final v Portland W, 4-2 / W, 1-0 MLS Cup at Kansas City T, 1-1 (6-7 PKs) 2014 ???
IMPROVING ON RECENT SUCCESS:
A year ago, RSL ended up one bounce of a ball away from each of the championships that compose the American treble - Supporters Shield (3 pts off), Open Cup (lost final at home) and MLS Cup (lost PK shootout on road) ... Last year’s club set new marks for goals scored (57), road goals (26) and tied the 2012 mark for road wins (6) and road points (22) ... In 2012, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchisehigh 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-pergame average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2013 saw RSL establish a club mark for goals scored, 2nd only to NY in 2013 ...

SCORING RECORD SHATTERED iN 2013:
Despite the Sept. 13 shutout suffered at Seattle - the first time in 23 games across all comps that RSL failed to find the back of the net - and scoring just 4 goals in its last 7 reg. season games, RSL still owned a Westleading 57 goals scored on the reg. season, 10 more than 2012 ... RSL finished with a +16 goal difference, 9 shy of the league and club mark set by RSL back in 2010 (+25) ... The 23-game scoring streak (including 19 straight in MLS play) nearly tripled the club’s previous record (8 games) for avoiding the shutout ...
WALL OF THE WASATCH NICKY RIMANDO:
RSL GK Nick Rimando preserved the 3 points in opening day’s 1-0 road win at Los Angeles by denying a Robbie Keane PK during stoppage time, the 12th denial in 38 spot attempts for RSL opponents (Rimando 11 for 36, Garlick 1 for 2) ... Rimando, who was named MLS Player of the Week for 2014 Week One, also made 8 other saves on the night, many of the spectacular variety ... Nicky extended his all-time MLS PK “denial” record to 20 career stops, holding opposing PK takers to just 41-for-61 against the former DC/MIA and current RSL netminder ... A year ago, Rimando also saved a stoppage-time PK on May 8 at NE against Saer Sene to preserve a road win, with that saved PK the 2nd in a span of 4 games for Rimando - he stopped Mejia in the first half of the April 20 1-0 win over Chivas ...
PLATITA WITH THE SILVER TOUCH:
Playing at an all-star caliber level during the first 3 games of the season, one of RSL’s two former Toronto FC players - diminutive FW Joao Plata, now in his 2nd season with RSL - has 2 goals and 2 assists, could return Saturday after a moderate left hamstring strain suffered in the 28th minute against LA on March 22 ... Plata - often a spark off the bench - started the first 3 games for Cassar alongside running mate Alvaro Saborio, the Ecuadoran now owning 22 starts in 32 alltime appearances for RSL ... All-time, Plata now has 9 goals and 15 assists in MLS play, with 5g/8a for RSL and 3g/5a for Toronto (201112) ... The 22 year old FW also had 2g/2a for RSL in Open Cup play a year ago ...
WHO’S MANNING THE MIDDLE?:
The biggest surprise to Cassar’s first two lineups was the inclusion of DF Aaron Maund - another Toronto castoff - into the centerback rotation alongside veteran Nat Borchers ... Maund, now in his 3rd MLS season (2nd with RSL), made his 5th and 6th all-time starts for the Utah side at LA and at SJ, before suffering a hamstring injury in the 70th minute on March 15 ... Maund gave way to 20-year old homegrown DF Carlos Salcedo, who most expected to occupy the starting slot until the April return for injured DF Chris Schuler (ankle), who enjoyed a spectacular postseason last fall ... However, Maund demonstrated calm and maturity throughout preseason, to go along with his unique blend of size, speed, strength and aerial ability ...
REAL SALT LAKE v PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY APRIL 19 2014

SCHULER STEPS UP ON BACK LINE:
RSL allowed just 19 goals in Schuler’s 21 MLS regular season and MLS Cup Playoff appearances in 2013, good for an average of 0.9 goals per game ... By contrast, the Claret-and-Cobalt allowed 26 goals in the 18 MLS games Schuler missed last year due to stress fractures in his foot, yielding a 1.44 goals against average ... So far this season, a similar split seems to be borne out, as the club allowed 3 goals in 2 games without the 25-year old centerback, compared to just 3 goals in 360 minutes upon his return to the lineup ...
CAPTAIN BECKERMAN 20th TO 300:
“KB5” is the seventh player in MLS history with RSL ties to hit 300+ appearances, joining the following as former/ current Claret-and-Cobalt players in the exclusive club (active members of the club in red): FW Jeff Cunningham (365) GK Nick Rimando (350) - RSL GK MF Chris Klein (333) MF Andy Williams (332) - RSL Assistant Coach MF Kyle Beckerman (331) - RSL Captain MF Carey Talley (315) FW Jason Kreis (305) Beckerman will crack the league’s all-time top-10 in games played this year, likely reaching 5th this year, passing Andy Williams (332), Chris Klein (333), Pablo Mastroeni (334), Tyrone Marshall (337), Jaime Moreno (340) and Joe Cannon (342) ... Beckerman is now 7th all-time in games started with 302 (passing Jay Heaps at 299), should catch Chris Henderson (304) in 6th and close friend Pablo Mastroeni (316) at 5th later this year ...
RIMANDO THE SHUTOUT KING - ALMOST:
Rimando needs just 3 more shutouts this season to become Major League Soccer’s All-Time leader in the category, trailing Kevin Hartman (112 clean sheets) with his 110, of which 74 have now come in the RSL Claretand-Cobalt ... Rimando – now in his 15th year as an MLS standout who has started in every career appearance in goal, and who won MLS Cup in 2004 with United and in 2009 with RSL – came into MLS with the Miami Fusion ... A comparison of Rimando’s various MLS stints:

SET PIECE WOES DOOM RSL at PHILLY:
RSL Capt Beckerman would have added a GWG to the list above, but the club lost the Union’s Maurice Edu on a 90’ corner kick to settle for a 2-2 draw at PPL on Saturday ... Beckerman’s apparent game-winner came in the 86th, when Velasquez won a ball deep, found Morales, with the Maestro’s magic cutting through the defense and finding Beckerman ...

MULHOLLAND REBOUNDS ... LITERALLY:
Newcomer Luke Mulholland scored the opening goal last week at PHI, slamming home the rebound of a saved Saborio PK in the 6th minute ... The goal was the firstyear RSL player’s 2nd of the young season, his initial goal also coming on a rebound of a saved shot at San Jose ... The former two-time NASL Best XI man also had a third strike mysteriously disallowed in the opener on March 8 at LA ...
TICO SABO WITH RARE MISFIRE ON PKS ... :
RSL’s all-time leading scorer Alvaro Saborio has suddenly missed 2 of his last 3 spot kick attempts, with his 8’ PK attempt back in April 2013 saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ... The Costa Rican int’l buried one on March 29 against TFC ‘keeper Julio Cesar, but saw his 6’ effort last Saturday at PHI saved by Zac MacMath to drop his all-time MLS PK mark to 13-for-15 in MLS games to go along with his 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League for RSL ... RSL’s last PK miss prior to Sabo’s a year ago was 12 attempts earlier, as FW Robbie Findley saw his spot kick on Sept. 9, 2010, saved @SEA by GK Kasey Keller in an eventual 0-0 draw ... All-time, RSL is now 36-for-42 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013/14) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...
... BUT OPEN CUP HISTORY STAYS PERFECT:
With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in last year’s June 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...
RIMANDO CLEAN SHEET / ASSIST COMBO:
In a home match v VAN on May 4, 2013, RSL took the early 2nd-half lead when GK Nick Rimando watched a Nigel Reo-Coker free kick sail over his goal and quickly restarted play with a pinpoint goal kick, finding FW Joao Plata wide right 60 yards upfield ... Plata took a few touches and sent a cross onto the head of MF Luis Gil for the U.S. U-20 star’s second tally of the season ... The game-winning assist was Rimando’s 4th of his career and the 7th all-time helper in his now 15 seasons ... However, May 4 v VAN marked only the second time the veteran combined a shutout - the 102nd of his career with a game-winning assist (8/8/09, 1-0 v SEA) ...
RIO TINTO STADIUM SANDY, UT
MORE ON THE RIMANDO RECORD HORIZON:
Now in his 8th season with RSL, Rimando trails only the recently-retired Hartman in most league GK categories; Rimando needs 28 wins to overtake Hartman for the all-time lead, along with 233 saves, 67 games and 5,608 minutes … The shutout record should come this season, with wins and games possibly coming in 2015, and the saves/minutes marks likely in 2016 (barring injury or extended absence) … Current San Jose ‘keeper Jon Busch is the only active GK who can potentially threaten the Hartman/Rimando thresholds in each category in the next 5 years or so … Rimando is 4th all-time in regular season games played with 350 ... Should pass Cunningham (365) for third, and get close to Ralston (378) for 2nd this season; Hartman all-time leader at 416 ... Rimando also 3rd all-time in games started with 350, could pass Ralston (372) this season (Hartman all-time leader with 411) ... Rimando 3rd all-time in minutes played with 31,653 and will likely pass Ralston (33,143) for 2nd this year (Hartman all-time leader with 37,260) ...
RIMANDO REWRITING RSL/MLS RECORD BOOKS:
RSL GK Nick Rimando made his 200th career MLS regular-season appearance for the Claret/Cobalt last Oct. 19 in Portland, becoming the first player in the club’s nine seasons to reach the bicentennial mark ... Rimando also has 15 CONCACAF, 19 playoff and 3 US Open Cup appearances for the team, which acquired him from New York just prior to the 2007 season ... Former RSL MF Andy Williams - the team’s Head Scout in 2012/13, now an assistant coach - was the previous appearance leader for RSL, with 189 games played from 2005-11 for the Utah club, while current Captain Kyle Beckerman, DF Nat Borchers and DF Chris Wingert each have 170+ reg. season games played for the club ... Rimando’s win March 29 v TOR gave the perennial MLS GK of the Year candidate and everyone’s “homeboy” 87 RSL wins - the club only has 107 - and a total of 74 clean sheets for the Utah side ...

FINDING BACK OF THE NET AWAY:
The shutout suffered two weeks ago at Kansas City was only the second “donut” in the club’s last 17 road regular-season games, also dropping an 0-2 decision at Seattle in mid-Sept. ... RSL has scored 30 goals in the other 15 road games surrounding that setback in the last calendar year, posting a 6-3-6 road mark, one which includes several high-scoring results: a pair of 3-3 draws (at POR, at SJ), 2-4 (at LA), 3-4 (at NY) and 2-3 (at MTL) losses, as well as 3-0 (at DAL) and 4-1 (at CHV) wins ...
TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROAD:
Last week’s draw at PHI extended the club’s fine recent road form, earning points in 9 of its last 11 across all competitions away from home, dating back to midAugust of last year ... RSL (+3) and its 2013 MLS Cup Playoff opponents Portland (+5) and Kansas City (+3) were the only trio of teams to own a positive goal differential away on the road last year, with an MLS-high 26 road goals (just under 50% of the season total) scored by RSL ... 22 of RSL’s 56 points last year were earned from a club-record-tying 6-7-4 road mark, with 2012 and 2013 each setting a new club record for road points for the historically road-weary side ...
MORE ROAD PERSPECTIVE:
The draw at PHI moved RSL’s all-time MLS reg. season road mark to 32-77-38 (.349; 151 GF / 231 GA) through 147 all-time road contests in League play … RSL was only 4-24-5 away prior to Jason Kreis taking over in May, 2007; since that time, RSL’s MLS road mark is slowly rising at 28-53-33, meaning that RSL earns a road point more than 50% of the time since that change ... In the first 3 seasons with Jason at the helm, RSL was only 6-26-11 on the road ... Since RSL won MLS Cup 2009, the club has posted a 22-26-22 mark on the road; only LA (26 wins), KC and SEA (24 each) have been more successful away from home ...
HISTORIC ROAD WINS A YEAR AGO:
On July 13 of last year, RSL weathered the early storm at Dallas to record a 3-0 road win, breaking its “Texas Hex” to win on Lone Star soil for the first time ever in 23 attempts, courtesy of a Javier Morales game-winning goal, heroics from Josh Saunders and Jeff Attinella in the net and insurance strikes from Ned Grabavoy & Olmes Garcia ... RSL ended last year with wins in 5 of its last 10 away from home (at TOR, at CHV, at NE, at DAL and at VAN, with only stoppage-time stunners at MTL and at NY shocking RSL), also snapping its Canadian “donut” during the stretch, winning on June 29 in Toronto ... RSL has still never won in Philadelphia (4 draws), Washington, D.C. (9 MLS or Open Cup attempts) or Houston (0-8-1 all-time) ... RSL travels to Houston on May 11 of this year, attempting to rectify ... The team mark of 6 road wins in each of the last two years is one better than in 2011, exceeding the four achieved in 2010, more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons …

JEFF CASSAR
7:30 PM MT
HEAD COACH
ALL-TIME RECORD: 1-0-1 (MLS) COLLEGE: Florida International ‘96 HOMETOWN: Livonia, MI APPOINTED: Dec. 18, 2013 PRONOUNCIATION: KUH - sarr AS A PLAYER: Played 11 seasons as a goalkeeper for Dallas, Miami and New York from 1996-2006 ...
Former MLS GK Jeff Cassar joined the Real Salt Lake technical staff on May 24, 2007, exactly three weeks after his former teammate Jason Kreis assumed the head coaching duties for NYCFC. Under Cassar and the entire RSL Technical Staff, goalkeeping and defensive performances at Real Salt Lake have established new standards for Major League Soccer. The 2010 season was a record-setting campaign, as the RSL goalkeeping contingent of Nick Rimando and Kyle Reynish allowed just 20 goals across 30 league games –surpassing the previous low of 23 season matches. Rimando was recognized as an MLS All-Star for his work with Cassar, and was one of three finalists for 2010 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. Reynish shone well for a young player in his limited Open Cup, regular-season and CONCACAF action spelling Rimando, a testamentto the manner in which Cassar’s experience deftly guides netminders at various career stages. Cassar has been involved in Major League Soccer since the league’s inception in 1996, spending 11 seasons between the posts for three squads from 1996-2006 before retiring to become FC Dallas’s goalkeeper coach in January 2007. During his career with Dallas (1996-97, 2003-06), Miami Fusion FC (1998-2001), and the MetroStars (2002), Cassar made 79 appearances (76 starts), posting a 1.76 goals against average, a 28-36-10 record, and recording 13 shutouts. Prior to his entry into the college and professional ranks, the Michigan native appeared numerous times for the U.S. U-18, U-20, and Olympic National Team programs. Mr. Cassar also appeared in five MLS Cup Playoff contests while with the Fusion and helped a pair of squads – the 2000 Fusion and 2005 FC Dallas teams – reach the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. In addition to his MLS experience, Mr. Cassar also spent time with English sides Ipswich Town and Bolton Wanderers following the 2002 season before returning to Dallas in the summer of 2003.
GM GARTH LAGERWEY
HEAD COACH
COLLEGE: Duke ‘94 HOMETOWN: Elmhurst, IL APPOINTED: September, 2007 AS A PLAYER: Played 5 seasons as a goalkeeper for Kansas City, Dallas and Miami from 1996-2000 ...
Trained as an attorney, Lagerwey oversees all aspects of the soccer team’s off-field business, conducting Real Salt Lake’s personnel acquisitions, managing the team’s salary and operations budgets and cultivating the reserve team and youth development programs. Named RSL’s second-ever General Manager on Sept. 19, 2007, the former MLS GK has worked tirelessly to transform both the team and management cultures of the organization, overseeing one of the most remarkable competitive turnarounds in modern American sports. Under his direction over the last 7 years in Utah, RSL has evolved from league laughingstock in 2007 to MLS Cup Champions just two seasons later. Since moving into Rio Tinto Stadium in October, 2008, Real Salt Lake has won one MLS Cup, advanced to another, played in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, advanced to four of the last six MLS Conference Finals, become the first American side to win a CONCACAF Champions League group and the first team from either the U.S. or Canada to advance to the CCL Final. With annual aspirations to compete across multiple competitions, RSL has long valued contribution throughout the entire roster, with 26 players starting at least one league game in the 2013 season. Currently built for international success, Lagerwey and RSL currently boast the longest-tenured core in MLS history, as 11 players will kick off at least their fifth season together on opening day. Five of those 11 arrived in 2007, the same year Lagerwey arrived – GK Nick Rimando, MF Javier Morales, DF Chris Wingert, FW Robbie Findley and MF and current Captain Kyle Beckerman. The following year, DF Tony Beltran was drafted while DF Nat Borchers was brought to the U.S. from foreign shores. Rounding out the list are 2009 acquisition MF Ned Grabavoy and 2010 pickups FW Alvaro Saborio, DF Chris Schuler and MF Luis Gil.

DAN BARLOW
Barlow, the longest-tenured member of the RSL Technical Staff, was hired 2 months prior to former boss Jason Kreis. Barlow has transformed RSL into one of the fittest clubs in MLS, taking advantage of the home venue’s altitude and managing minutes under the demands of the long domestic season and grueling international travel. Under Barlow’s evolving technique and guidance, RSL players see their fitness routines and nutritional intakes constantly monitored, even during the brief offseason between campaigns. In season, weights, resistance and aerobic programs are installed to ensure peak performance during the long and often arduous MLS season, which usually sees RSL also competing in concurrent tournaments, such as CONCACAF Champions League and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

LAST MATCH RECAP Midfielder Will Johnson scored his first goal of the season, finishing with a team-high five shots, and the Timbers extended their MLS-club record regular-season, home unbeaten streak to 19 consecutive matches with a 1-1 draw against Chivas USA at Providence Park on April 12. Johnson provided the Timbers with a 1-0 lead early in the match, converting a well-placed low shot inside the far left post following a pinpoint through pass at the top of the penalty box from midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe in the seventh minute. Portland maintained the lead until the 79th minute when Chivas USA netted the equalizer off the foot of forward Erick Torres, who finished a Leandro Barrera pass from close range.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. Currently, the Timbers have compiled an MLS-club record 19-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park. For the 2014 season, the stadium’s capacity was expanded to 20,814.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turnaround season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33). Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to Portland’s 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in MLS in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a first-year head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm. Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Timbers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships, five MAC tournament titles and five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12). Porter set multiple NCAA records while at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12. Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and he spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain and a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, and four NCAA tournament appearances. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.
PORTLAND TIMBERS AT REAL SALT LAKE SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 2014 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Saturday’s match marks the first of three regular-season meetings between the Timbers and Real Salt Lake in 2014. The two clubs met six times across all competitions during the 2013 season, going toe-to-toe three times during the regular-season, meeting in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals and squaring off in a two-legged series in the Western Conference Championship. In 2013, the two teams played to two draws in three games, a 3-3 deadlock at Providence Park on Aug. 21, 2013, and a scoreless draw in the regular-season home finale at Providence Park on Oct. 19, 2013. Real Salt Lake took a 4-2 win at Rio Tinto Stadium on Aug. 29, 2013, when Portland, trailing by one goal, went down a man following a straight red card to midfielder Ben Zemanski moments before halftime. In the first match of 2013, despite a late goal from Diego Valeri, Real Salt Lake beat Portland, 2-1, on Aug. 7, 2013 in the semifinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The Utah side then won both legs of the teams’ Western Conference Championship series, earning a 5-3 series win on aggregate.
LAST TIME VS. REAL SALT LAKE The Timbers gave Real Salt Lake all it could handle, but fell 1-0 in Leg 2 of the Western Conference Championship of the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs on Nov. 24, 2013 at Providence Park. With a first-half goal, Real Salt Lake defeated the Timbers 5-2 in the two-game, aggregate-goal series to advance to MLS Cup 2013. The Timbers run in the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs came to end, capping the club’s most successful season in MLS since joining the league in 2011. The Timbers were the first club since Real Salt Lake in 2008 to reach the conference championship in its postseason debut.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT REAL SALT LAKE SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 2014 SCOUTING REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake came under the direction of new head coach Jeff Cassar for the 2014 season. Cassar, a former assistant coach for Real Salt Lake, replaces longtime head coach Jason Kreis, who took the head coaching job at 2015 MLS expansion club New York City FC following last season. The Claret-and-Cobalt reached the 2013 MLS Cup Final, their first trip to the championship game since winning it all in 2009, losing on penalty kicks to Sporting Kansas City. The Utah side has started the season on a six-game unbeaten run, winning two matches and drawing four. Following a late game-winning goal against the run of play for a 1-0 season-opening win over the LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake conceded two goals in the final five minutes for a 3-3 draw against San Jose, drew 1-1 in another match against the LA Galaxy, beat Toronto FC 3-0, fended off 10-man Sporting KC for a scoreless draw and conceded a late goal for a 2-2 draw against Philadelphia last weekend. Forward Alvaro Saborio leads the team with three goals, while Joao Plata, Kyle Beckerman and Luke Mulholland have each scored two goals.
THE IRONMAN Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started 54 straight league games for the club dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In his fourth year with the team, Nagbe has appeared in 73 of the team’s 74 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 MLS season. Nagbe became the first Timbers MLS player to reach 100 appearances for the team, hitting the century mark on April 5 against Seattle Sounders FC. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader in goals (17) and appearances (101).
CREATING CHANCES According to Opta, midfielder Diego Valeri (14) and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe (13) each rank among league leaders in total scoring chances created through six games. San Jose midfielder Shea Salinas leads the league with 18 chances created.
UPCOMING MILESTONES With a start on Saturday, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts will mark his 140th career MLS appearance and start. Ricketts has played 45 matches for the Timbers since joining the club in August 2012. Ricketts is also on track to cross the 4,000 career minutes played threshold as a Timbers MLS player in the second minute of Saturday’s match against Real Salt Lake. Midfielder Will Johnson is set to make his 155th career MLS appearance on Saturday. The Timbers captain has appeared in 34 games for Portland since 2013, previously making 114 career appearance for Real Salt Lake from 2008-12 and six appearances in 2005 for the Chicago Fire. Defender Jack Jewsbury’s next goal will mark his 25th career MLS goal. Jewsbury has scored 10 of his 24 career goals with the Timbers, making 93 appearances for the club since 2011.
AMONG LEAGUE LEADERS Timbers midfielders Will Johnson and Diego Valeri rank among league leaders in total shots, each with 18 apiece.

Heading into Saturday’s match, Chara has appeared in 93 matches for the Timbers.
Timbers head coach Caleb Porter currently ranks second all-time among MLS head coaches for highest winning percent with a minimum of 34 games coached. Porter’s .588 winning percent (14-7-19 career record), places him second on the all-time list behind LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena (161-9855, .600) and just above former LA Galaxy and New York MetroStars head coach Octavio Zambrano (80-55-8, .587).
