REAL SALT LAKE vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RIO TINTO STADIUM, Sandy, Utah July 24, 2015 (WEEK 21, MLS Game #205) 9 p.m. MT (UniMás; UDN) The MLS Cup finalists from 2013 meet for a third time this season in a critical match in the Western Conference when Real Salt Lake play host to Sporting Kansas City at Rio Tinto Stadium on Viernes de Fútbol. Sporting currently hold a place in the top six in the division – with Real sitting six points out of a playoff place at the moment. Real put an end to a four-game winless run with a 2-0 home win against the Houston Dynamo last weekend, while Sporting won their third league game on the trot, a 2-1 win against the Montréal Impact at Sporting Park. REFEREE: Allen Chapman.

Olmes Garcia scored the match-winner well into secondhalf stoppage time to hand Real a 2-1 win June 21 at Rio Tinto Stadium; they played to a scoreless draw April 11 at Sporting Park.  The RSL win in the last meeting was their first against SKC since 2011, a 1-0 win Sept. 17 at Rio Tinto Stadium. SKC won two of the four meetings in between, with two draws.  Real have never won at Sporting Park, in five meetings lifetime, including MLS Cup 2013. RSL last won in Kansas City in 2009 (at CommunityAmerica Ballpark).  The teams are also now set to face each other in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal, set for Aug. 12 at Sporting Park.  Coaches record: Jeff Cassar vs. KC: P3 W1 L0 D2 … Peter Vermes vs. RSL: P10 W3 L4 D3 LAST MEETING (MLS)  Real took the lead in the 15th minute. Javier Morales lofted in a free kick from the right flank, picking out Sebastian Jaime at the back post, and he placed his header perfectly, bouncing it off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net.  Sporting pulled even a quarter-hour later. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber slipped a clever ball through to Dom Dwyer in the center of the box, and as the SKC striker kept an RSL defender on his hip, he coolly slotted home past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando.  The winner came three minutes into stoppage time through a stroke of good fortune. Morales again played provider, fighting to keep the ball in midfield and finding Garcia on the wing. He then took a touch inside and blasted a shot towards goal, with the ball bouncing off SKC defender Kevin Ellis before looping over goalkeeper Tim Melia and giving RSL all three points.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-2-3-1): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Aaron Maund, Justen Glad, Demar Phillips - Luke Mulholland (Luis Gil 70), Kyle Beckerman - Sebastian Jaime (Jordan Allen 69), Javier Morales, Joao Plata (Olmes Garcia 83) - Devon Sandoval.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia (Saad Abdul-Salaam 90) - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Jacob Peterson 75).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake put an end to their four-game winless run, defeating the Houston Dynamo 2-0 on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Real are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 26 points from 21 matches. LAST MATCH  The Real opener came in the 36th minute. Jordan Allen won the ball after a Dynamo clearance and got it to Joao Plata, who pushed it forward to Javier Morales. He then took a long-distance shot on the half-volley with the outside of his right foot, leaving Houston 'keeper Tyler Deric with no chance as the ball went in off the post.  Dynamo defender Kofi Sarkodie cleared a ball off the line just before the end of the first half, then was sent off by referee Robert Sibiga with a straight red card six minutes into the second half after coming in late on Abdoulie Mansally.  RSL put the game away in the in the 65th minute, after a well-worked one-two between Plata and Morales. Plata knifed through the Dynamo defense, picking up the return flick from Morales and burying a low shot into the back of the net from the center of the box.  RSL head coach Jeff Cassar made four changes to the team that lost 3-1 to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Justen Glad and Abdoulie Mansally came into the back four for Chris Schuler and Boyd Okwuonu, Jordan Allen started in midfield for John Stertzer and Devon Sandoval came in up top for the suspended Sebastian Jaime.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-2-3-1): Jeff Attinella - Tony Beltran, Aaron Maund, Justen Glad, Abdoulie Mansally Jordan Allen (John Stertzer 84), Luke Mulholland (Wellington Paeckart 88) - Olmes Garcia (Luis Gil 72), Javier Morales, Joao Plata - Devon Sandoval. TEAM NEWS  The win was the first for Real in league play since June 21, following two losses and two draws. It did extend their home undefeated streak to eight games in league play at Rio Tinto Stadium (3-0-5).  “It’s important to win at home. The last two games that we played at home we won like 2-0, the team’s playing better, I can see the team a little bit, we’re working hard,” said Javier Morales. “We’re fighting for each other and I think it’s very important for us right now.”  Morales netted a goal and added an assist, the second time he’s done that this season (and the fourth time he’s been involved in multiple goals in a game this year). It was the 17th time in his nine-year MLS career he’s been involved in at least one goal and one assist in the same game.  “He doesn’t surprise me. He’s taking excellent care of his body right now. He is showing no signs of slowing down right now. He’s hungry. He wants this team to do well and you can see that he is really putting everything out there for the team right now,” said RSL head coach Jeff Cassar.  Morales has assists in each of his last two games, and now has seven assists this season. The goal was his first since May 30.  Joao Plata scored his first goal of the season, his first in league play since last Sept. 19 (13 MLS games). Plata also recorded an assist, his third assist in the last four matches (all three of his assists this season).  “I think it’s going to be great for his confidence,” Cassar said. “[Plata’s] been doing a lot of the right things. He’s been getting into those positions and today was great because he came from an out wide position, came in, took somebody on and it was a fantastic finish. So we’re really happy for him and hopefully there’s a lot more to come.”  Said Morales: “For me, forwards have to score. We have to keep their confidence high even if you saw I gave him a free kick before his goal to try to score a goal, but I’m happy. I’m happy, because I think Plata the last two games worked hard. He played great and he deserved a goal. I told him right when he was coming back, and I told him, I said the injury I had in the past – it’s tough. It’s tough to come back. It’s not going to be like the first game or second game, it’s going to take a while. I think right now he’s back.”  Jordan Allen made his first start for Real in a league game since May 16, coming into a deep-lying midfield role alongside Luke Mulholland. He had made four substitute appearances over the previous five matches.  “He played fantastic. You could put him at right back and he is going to do a great job. He works on both side of the ball, both offensively and defensively,” Cassar said. “From that position where he is right now, he’s very dynamic. When there is space to be taken in the midfield, he can drive with the ball and I really like his aggression from that position.”  Justen Glad made his first league start since June 24, while Abdoulie Mansally made his first start since June 27, both coming into the back four.  “Both him and Aaron (Maund) were very good. He could have gotten on the scoresheet. But we could have went with Elias (Vasquez) tonight,” Cassar said. “Myself and the staff had full confidence in Justen coming in and doing the job. I couldn’t be more happy when people get opportunities and they seize them. He doesn’t surprise me either. When you think of solid, you think of Justen.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won their third consecutive match, defeating the Montréal Impact 2-1 on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 17 matches. LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead after just four minutes. Roger Espinoza won the ball in midfield and passed to winger Krisztian Nemeth, who crossed to a wide-open Feilhaber just outside the six-yard box. He popped the ball into the air with his left foot before turning to slot it past goalkeeper Evan Bush.  In the 34th minute, it was Feilhaber's turn to play provider -- from well beyond midfield. He sent a long, perfectly-placed through ball up the middle to a streaking Dom Dwyer, who was left completely unmarked. Dwyer raced onto the pass and first-timed the ball near-post from just outside the area on the left.  The Impact cut the lead in half just before the hour mark. Ignacio Piatti took a long diagonal ball from Calum Mallace on the left side, juked past a defender and raced in alone on goal before slipping a right-footed shot past the outstretched foot of 'keeper Tim Melia and inside the far post.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that scored the game’s lone goal for a win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber (Paulo Nagamura 74), Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson (Chance Myers 79), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Connor Hallisey 63). TEAM NEWS  Sporting have put together a three-game winning streak in league play for the first time this season. They had won back-to-back games twice earlier; they have won five games in a row in all competitions.  The win also extended the Sporting home undefeated streak to six games in league play and eight games in all competitions – matching the club record.  “We weren't great in possession, but we were really good at creating chances. Where we weren't good was possession, they were better,” Sporting manager Peter Vermes said. “We found a way to win by scoring two good goals. We should've scored at least two more goals in the first half. … We had great chances, but we weren't great in possession.”  Vermes kept an unchanged team for just the second time this season, also keeping the same group for the 2-1 loss to the LA Galaxy and the 4-4 draw with the Houston Dynamo on April 18 and 25.  “I don't think we necessarily played the way we wanted to, which didn't help our legs. I think a lot of guys got tired – I got pretty tired in the second half and had to come off – but we fought through it. Mentally we were strong and got three points. It's going to be tough the next two games,” said Benny Feilhaber.  Dom Dwyer scored his sixth goal of the season, his first since June 21, when he netted in the second meeting with Real Salt Lake.  “He does so many things besides scoring for us. He's being doing that kind of stuff since the beginning of the season and obviously last year,” said Vermes. “Obviously he was missing some chances in the beginning of the season, and that's to be expected from forwards. You get three or four chances a game, you're not going to score them all. ... If he can get three or four chances and put one or two into the back of the net, that's what we ask of him. He just goes through his thing, he's got tons of confidence.”  Said Feilhaber: “Everything he does besides score goals is very, very good for us and very necessary for how we play. When he's able to start scoring like he is now and how he has for a year and half now – maybe a little bit longer, since our MLS Cup run – then we have a very good and important player for us playing up there.”  Feilhaber collected his 10th assist of the season, now second in MLS behind Columbus Crew SC’s Ethan Finlay (11). Feilhaber has three assists over the last four games.  Feilhaber netted a goal, his sixth of the season, and the second time this season he’s had at least one goal and one assist in a league game (the fourth time in his five MLS seasons). He has four goals and six assists over the last nine matches in all competitions.  “He's been one of our most consistent players this year. I think for him personally it has so much to do with the fact that he is playing on both sides of the ball very consistently. I think that has changed his game and I also think people start to see the differences. … I value [possession] a lot. The great thing about that is Benny is starting to value it as well and that is one of the reasons why the perception of him has changed so much,” said Vermes.  Krisztian Nemeth collected an assist for a second consecutive league game, and has five goals and four assists over his last nine matches in all competitions.  On Tuesday, Sporting advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 quarterfinal win against the Houston Dynamo at Sporting Park. After Will Bruin gave the Dynamo a lead on the hour, goals from Benny Feilhaber (71), Dom Dwyer (86) and Krisztian Nemeth (88) sent SKC through.  Here’s the SKC team: Tim Melia; Chance Myers, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia; Soni Mustivar, Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza (Bernardo Anor 90); Connor Hallisey (Jacob Peterson 54), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Saad Abdul-Salaam 91+)

JAIME RETURNS FROM RED CARD EPIDEMIC:

Returning Friday v KC from a one-game suspension is RSL’s 2015 leading scorer and red-hot FW Sebastian Jaime, whose late ejection in the July 11 1-3 loss at Colorado sidelined the man who had scored in 4 of the previous 5 home games (shut out July 14 v LA) across all competitions and in 5 of RSL’s last 7 games overall ... Also missing fieldside in the 2-0 win over Houston was RSL head coach Jeff Cassar, who was apparently dismissed following that Rapids loss two weeks ago in Denver ... RSL now leads MLS with 7 reds in 21 games, matching the club’s season-record 7 set in 2013, 2011 and 2009 ...

Friday marks the third meeting of the season - the clubs drew 0-0 back on April 11 at Sporting Park - as well as a preview of next month’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal, as RSL travels to KC on Wednesday, August 12 ...

Orlando City icon Kaka saw straight red on July 4 after apparently stomping on Morales’ leg after bowling him over just before halftime, the first RSL opponent to be ejected this season, while Dynamo MF Luis Garrido was tossed after his 2nd yellow in the 54th minute last Saturday ...

HEATING UP AT HOME:

HOME-COOKING IMPERATIVE AT RIOT:

RSL enters Friday’s match seeking a third consecutive win for the first time in 2015, as last week saw goals from MF Javier Morales and FW Joao Plata - each of whom assisted on the others’ goal - in support of a Jeff Attinella clean sheet as RSL defeated Houston, 2-0, Saturday night ... That win came on the heels of last Tuesday’s 1-0 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal win over the starstudded LA Galaxy, as Attinella stoned a point-blank Steven Gerrard chance and DF Aaron Maund headed home his first-ever professional goal in the 87’ to send RSL to the August 12 LHUSOC Semifinal ... This week’s win improved RSL to 11-10-1 (1-0 PKs) all-time in the tourney, with an 11-3-0 home mark ...

For RSL to vault itself back into the Western Conference race, it will need maximum points in each of its remaining 6 reg. season home games, starting Friday v KC ... The six draws already at home through 10 games equal the club’s all-time season high, set in 2006 and 2008 ... Since the beginning of 2008, RSL boasts an 93-19-39 mark in its last 151 home games (all comps) in that span, during which it has outscored opponents by 163 goals (273-110), with a 74-14-36 reg. season mark (224/91), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 5-2-2 playoffs (11/4), as well as an 8-2-0 Open Cup mark (21/10) ...

DEFENSE ON LOCKDOWN:

RSL enters Friday having conceded just one goal in its four July home games - a 4’ strike by Kaka on July 4 as the club extended its active shutout streak to 266 minutes last Saturday ...

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY FRI JULY 24

9:00 PM MT

WRAPPING UP HOMESTAND:

Friday night marks the conclusion of a stretch that sees RSL play 9 home games out of 11 overall in June and July, Jeff Cassar’s club posting a 5-0-3 mark at Rio Tinto Stadium leading into the July 24 Kansas City match ... Three of the five wins have come in Open Cup, while RSL has dropped both road games during this stretch - 0-1 with 9 men on June 24 at NYRB, and blowing a 1-0 lead in final 10’ with another red July 11 at COL for a 1-3 loss ...

MAESTRO MORALES CELEBRATES #200:

Last Saturday, RSL maestro Javier Morales made his 200th MLS reg. season appearance, becoming the FIFTH RSL player to hit 200 ... Morales joined a group that includes Nick Rimando (241), Kyle Beckerman (221), Nat Borchers (205) and Chris Wingert (204) ... Morales now has a franchise-high 17 game-winning assists (tied with Captain Kyle Beckerman) and 72 assists overall to go with his 41 goals, the Argentine MF responsible for nearly 25% of the club’s all-time 456 MLS goals, despite missing all of the 2005/06 seasons and most of both 2007 & 2011 ...

CUP REMATCH SETS UP BUDDING RIVALRY:

RSL faces Sporting Kansas City Friday at Rio Tinto Stadium, the second Utah-based rematch of MLS Cup 2013 between the clubs ... In its last visit to Utah, RSL saw FW Olmes Garcia slot home a deflected shot in the 93rd minute for an emotional - and therapautic - RSL win, one which included FW Sebastian Jaime’s firstever goal for the club ... Back in July 2013, Peter Vermes’ club won 2-1 in Sandy in disputed fashion, the fiery match ultimately determining which team would later host that year’s Cup ... Since RSL lost the frigid shootout at Sporting Park on Dec. 7, 2013, it has gone back to Kansas in each of the last two seasons to earn points in 0-0 draws ...

ALL-TIME HISTORY v SPORTING/WIZARDS:

By virtue of the June 21 stoppage-time victory, RSL now owns a 6-8-5 MLS regular season record and just a 7-86 record across all competitions against Kansas City ... The clubs have faced off 11 times across all competitions in Utah, with RSL posting a 6-3-1 home record against the club, RSL’s 3rd-weakest home mark against any club (2-3-1 against Chicago and 4-3-2 against Columbus) ... Back in 2009, Kansas City was the first visitor to win a regular-season match at Rio Tinto Stadium, riding two Josh Wolff goals in a May victory that was RSL’s last loss prior to a 37-game unbeaten home streak in all comps (4/27/11, 0-1 to Monterrey) ... Kansas City’s last visit prior to this year - back on July 20, 2013, RSL lost 1-2 in the 97’ on Ike Opara’s header snapped an 11-game unbeaten run for the Claret/Cobalt across all competitions (6-0-2 MLS, 3-0-0 in Open Cup) that had seen RSL outscore its opposition 30-9 ... That loss nearly two years ago was also’s RSL last loss to an Eastern Conference team - home or away - prior to the 4-0 loss suffered by RSL at New England back on April 25 of this year ...

DOUBLE DISAPPOINTMENT:

2013 will forever be remembered in RSL lore for the frigid PK shootout at Kansas City in MLS Cup 2013 just 7 weeks after losing the home Open Cup Final to D.C., becoming the only team out of 11 all-time to have advanced to both the USOC and MLS Cup Finals, but winning neither ...

MLS CUP 2013 REMATCH AT SPORTING PARK:

“RSL Family” is still pained at memories of its frigid shootout loss at MLS Cup 2013 in Kansas City, remembering a trio of shots that hit Jimmy Nielsen’s woodwork - Robbie Findley, Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales - as well as a 2nd Alvaro Saborio goal disallowed due to offsides and an Aurelien Collin challenge on a Findley breakaway that could have seen a 2nd yellow on the centerback ... Saborio put the Claret-and-Cobalt on top in the 52nd minute, firing a 20-yard half volley home past Nielsen ... Morales thought he had put RSL up 2-0 when a chip beat Nielsen but skipped off the post just prior to Sporting KC‘s equalizer in the 76th minute, when Collin buried a FW Graham Zusi corner kick from 10 yards out ... After regulation and extra time left the sides tied at 1-1, the teams entered a penalty kick shootout ... The sides traded goals and misses until the 10th round, when Collin buried his penalty for SKC before former RSL DF Lovel Palmer sent his spot kick off the crossbar to give SKC the shootout by a 7-6 margin ...

DEFENSIVE HIGH POINT v SKC:

While RSL was able to secure a 0-0 draw at KC in April one of three road clean sheets for the club in 2015 - that early-season game marked RSL’s last road shutout, to go with six clean sheets at home (4 in MLS play, 2 in Open Cup) ...

ATTINELLA CLEAN SHEET:

Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Houston saw RSL GK Jeff Attinella tally his fifth career win and his fifth career clean sheet in MLS action, a 20-game sample over the last three seasons in spot duty behind perennial MLS GK of the Year candidate Nick Rimando ... All-time, Attinella brings a 7-8-6 career mark into his next match, with 6 clean sheets and having faced 8 penalty kicks (stopping 2) ... Attinella’s previous MLS W this season was the 2-1 victory v TFC back on March 29, prior to his trio of Open Cup wins ... Attinella’s 2013 trial by fire saw him endure bizarre games remembered for stoppage-time drama or PKladen matches such as RSL’s home loss against KC (Opara, 97+), the subsequent 4-3 road loss at NY (Sabo hat trick, two Espindola PKs, McCarty stunner at the death), the comeback 3-3 draw at Portland (Grossman heroics) and the “reserve” 1-0 win at Vancouver 3 days before the Open Cup final ...

MAUND CONTINUES HOT STREAK:

Last week began with 4th-year DF Aaron Maund scoring the dramatic 87’ game-winner against LA in the Open Cup Quarterfinal for his first-ever professional goal, a highlight that overshadows how the preseason #4 centerback has played all but 6 minutes in RSL’s last 12 games across all competitions entering Friday ... During this stretch - which has seen preseason starters Jamison Olave and Chris Schuler miss games due to injury or suspension, Elias Vasquez out due to international duty and Maund paired with youngsters Phanuel Kavita and Justen Glad, RSL is 5-4-3 and has allowed 12 goals in as many games ...

GLAD, ALLEN HONORED BY CHIPOTLE:

Earlier this week, RSL saw two of its young contributors - DF Justen Glad and M/F Jordan Allen - recognized for their 2015 development and invited to next week’s Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game in Denver ... Due to a hamstring injury suffered late in last week’s 2-0 win over Houston, Allen has been removed from the game against the Club America U-20s, but Glad will still participate in the All-Star festivities ...

PLATITA OPENS 2015 MLS ACCOUNT:

Morales’ game-winner against Houston - a nominee for this week’s MLS Goal of the Week - was set up by a Jordan Allen defensive play and a Joao Plata assist just before halftime ... Plata opened his MLS account 20 minutes into the second half on a sweet give-andgo with Morales in tight space in the Dynamo penalty box, weaving through several defenders and slotting the insurance goal home ... Plata - who broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot back on January 29 in a non-contact turf incident on the first day of preseason - scored the equalizer back on June 16 against Sounders 2 in Open Cup play, and has seen chances in recent weeks at Colorado and vs. LA narrowly miss, chances that were converted in his breakout 2014 season, when the young, diminutive Ecuadorian led RSL with 13 goals ...

NEW ACQUISITION SILVA MUST WAIT:

Last Thursday, RSL traded its all-time leading scorer, FW Alvaro Saborio to D.C. United in exchange for M/F Luis Silva ... Saborio and his Costa Rican National Team were eliminated from the Gold Cup days later, while Silva arrived in Salt Lake last Saturday but did not dress against Houston due to a nagging hamstring injury ... Silva - who trained intermittently this week - and RSL travels to D.C. in the club’s first post-All Star match on Sat., August 1 to face Saborio, the club’s all-time leader in goals, game-winners, hat tricks, multi-goal games and several other attacking categories ... Saborio owns 79 goals scored in 149 career matches with RSL in MLS, playoff, CONCACAF and Open Cup play ...

LONG AUGUST BARNSTORMING TOUR:

The late June cross-country trip to Red Bull Arena marked the only time RSL will have departed the Mountain Time Zone between May 30 and July 24, for a run of 9 home games out of 11 from June 7 - July 1 ... To climb up the West standings and insert itself into the playoff conversation, RSL will need to improve upon its now-dismal 2-6-2 road mark this season ... Away from Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL has been outscored 6-16 by opponents ... RSL will rack up more than 10,000 miles with its August 1 trip to D.C., continuing on midweek to Guatemala to kick off CCL play and then return to the opposite side of the continent with an August 8 date in Vancouver, prior to the August 12 Open Cup semifinal in Kansas City ... Add in July 29 All-Star in Denver on the heels of the Gold Cup for USA icons Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando and a potential August 11 Open Cup date, and you have a frequent flyer’s mileage dream scenario ...

CCL DRAW PLACES RSL IN NEW TERRITORY:

Back on June 1 in Miami, RSL was drawn into Group G of the 24-team 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League tourney, alongside Santa Tecla FC (El Salvador) and Municipal (Guatemala), clubs RSL has never faced hailing from countries foreign to the Claret-and-Cobalt in its two previous CCL iterations ... RSL’s quartet of home/ away matches will be played Aug. 4 @ MUN, Sept. 15 @ TEC, Sept. 24 v TEC and Oct. 20 v MUN ... The trials and tribulations of RSL’s congested schedule - evident in a 7-game May and the June/July march through league and Open Cup play - will continue this Fall with a return to CCL play ...

DOWN TO 9 MEN FOR 4TH TIME EVER:

RSL has now played 400 games across all competitions in its 11-year history - 341 MLS reg. season, 21 MLS Cup Playoff, 22 Open Cup and 16 CONCACAF Champions League - and has been reduced to nine men in a game just four times, including twice this year ... June 24 in New York was the most recent occurrance - the list: Feb. 22, 2011 (CCL) @ Columbus - 0:0 T (Beltran/Borchers) April 21, 2012 (MLS) @ San Jose - 1:3 L (Olave/Espindola) April 18, 2015 (MLS) v Vancouver - 0:1 L (Olave/Saucedo) June 24, 2015 (MLS) @ Red Bulls - 0:1 L (Morales/Phillips)

SQUAD ROTATION TO THE EXTREME:

Thanks to DF Justen Glad’s recent success and last month’s Open Cup inclusion of rookie DFs Phanuel Kavita & Boyd Okwuonu, boss Jeff Cassar has played 27 members of the 2015 RSL roster - all but one, GK Lalo Fernandez - with 25 seeing at least one start in the first 24 games across all competitions so far this season ...

LIGHT AT END OF DEFENSIVE TUNNEL?:

RSL’s central defense has been hit hard by injury and international duty ... Just 2’ into the June 7 home match against Colorado, veteran DF (and former Red Bull) Jamison Olave suffered an upper groin strain, forcing him out ... RSL’s other starting CB, veteran Chris Schuler (knee) returned last week for the first time since April 5 in San Jose, opening the door for starts in 11 of 13 matches for 22-year old Guatemalan international Elias Vasquez ... Vasquez - who went the full 180’ in Guatemala’s 1-0 aggregate World Cup qualifying win over Bermuda last month - was not available June 16 - 30 due to visa issues, leaving Jeff Cassar with DF Aaron Maund - who has started 9 MLS + 3 Open Cup matches this season - and one of two homegrown rookies in the other spot, Phanuel Kavita or Justen Glad ... Kavita, the former 4-year Clemson starter and 2-year captain of the Tigers’ elite program, made his RSL debut in the June 16 Open Cup match, the former Brighton H.S. and RSL Academy product joined by right back Boyd Okwuonu in the duo’s first-ever RSL matches ... Okwuonu did well July 11 in Colorado in his MLS starting debut ...

UNSUNG HERO AT RIGHT BACK:

Veteran RSL DF Tony Beltran has earned the start in 121 of the club’s last 139 games across all competitions on the right side of the back four ... The RSL “Iron Man” - part of a 3-man outside back rotation with Chris Wingert and Robbie Russell prior to RSL’s trade of Russell to D.C. United prior to the 2012 season - has remained injury-free and playing at a high level, usually seeing days off only in exhibition or Open Cup play, or sometimes succumbing to a rotation during 3-game weeks ...

INTERNATIONAL DUTY COMES TO A CLOSE:

RSL’s two longest-tenured players - GK Nick Rimando & MF Kyle Beckerman - bounced between Club and Country for much of June prior to departing for USA Gold Cup duty on June 28 ... The duo should return to the Mountain Time Zone Sunday, Kyle to Utah and Nick to Denver for the MLS All-Star Game ... RSL saw M/F Jordan Allen depart on May 17 and return just a month ago due the U.S. U-20 participation in the FIFA Youth World Championship in New Zealand, and a month ago saw DF Boyd Okwuonu included in Andi Herzog’s U.S. U-23 selection at the presigious Toulon tournament, as RSL will see several players represent their countries this Summer ... Two RSL defenders - Elias Vasquez (Guatemala) and Demar Phillips (Jamaica) - also left in early July for Gold Cup, Demar returning Monday and Elias getting back to Utah on July 13 ... Phillips’ replacement, DF Abdoulie Mansally, traveled to South Africa and back with The Gambia in African Nations Cup qualifying in mid-June, while former RSL FW Alvaro Saborio missed the June 21 Kansas City game

RIO TINTO STADIUM

SANDY, UT

due to an unexcused absence on the eve of reporting to Costa Rica’s Gold Cup camp, just weeks after playing in Madrid against Spain in the June FIFA friendly window ... Olympic qualifying is just around the corner, with a pair of RSL men - MF Luis Gil and DF Boyd Okwuonu - figuring heavily in U.S. U-23 coach Andreas Herzog’s plans ... Gil has worn the captain’s armband in 2015 for that side, but remained with RSL instead of heading to Toulon in late May ... As if those nine players weren’t enough to lose time in June/July, RSL DF Justen Glad and M/F Sebastian Saucedo are prominent figures in the U.S. U-18 setup, but could have RSL / MLS / Open Cup opportunities very soon due to all the international duty ... Saucedo departed earlier this month a U.S. U-18 camp, causing him to miss the July 11 trip to Colorado, but he was called back for Tuesday’s Open Cup match against LA as well as this weekend v HOU, dressing but not playing in either ...

BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK XI SELECTIONS:

For just the third time in 2015, RSL boss Cassar rolled out the same XI in back-to-back games against Portland and Orlando ... RSL actually saw the same XI in 3 consecutive matches in early May for the only time in 143 games since early 2012, culminating in the loss at MTL on May 16 ... For years, often due to injuries, multiple competitions and the demands that national team duties place on the club’s roster, RSL often sees its bench depth contribute ... A year ago, RSL saw the rarity of the same XI in back-to-back games just 4 times in 2014 (39 total games) ... In its Cup-participant season of 2013, RSL started the same XI in consecutive 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) prior to games 8 and 9 that year ... 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’ ...

CONCACAF OLYMPIC QUALIFYING ROAD TO RIO FINISHES AT RIOT:

A month ago, CONCACAF and U.S. Soccer announced that RSL’s Rio Tinto Stadium home will host the region’s 2015 Olympic Qualifying Semifinal and Final doubleheaders, to be held Oct. 10 / 13 ...

BECKERMAN MOVING UP THE CHARTS:

RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman - who should return to MLS play on August 1 at D.C. United - returned to the Claret-and-Cobalt June 27 for his Gold Cup sendoff after missing the previous Wednesday’s trip to NY due to yellow card accumulation ... Beckerman - who earned the league’s annual one-time “Good Behavior Initiative” caution reduction earlier this year after 3 games on the cusp of suspension - actually moved into the all-time MLS yellow card lead with the June 21 caution ... Beckerman now has 82 yellow cards in his 15-year, 371game career, one more than his formerly-dreadlocked teammate/mentor at MIA/COL, Pablo Mastroeni ... Beckerman entered the season as the MLS all-time leader in fouls committed, now with 558 in 371 games ... KB5 started his 340th career MLS game on June 27, good for 5th all-time and just one start shy of GK Joe Cannon ... Becks is now just 8 games played, 21 starts and 2520 minutes shy of matching Steve Ralston for the league’s all-time service records for field players, as only GKs Kevin Hartman, Nick Rimando and Cannon have seen more minutes than the dreadlocked USMNT stalwart ...

BECKERMAN, RIMANDO TOP TWO ACTIVES:

Despite their current Gold Cup inclusions and their World Cup departures a year ago, 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: 34,903; Beckerman: 30,508), games played (NR: 386; KB: 369) and games started (NR: 386; KB: 340) ... With the late May starts in LA/VAN, Beckerman moved past former teammate Jeff Cunningham into sole possession of 4th place all-time in games played (371) ... RSL’s captain is only 8 games away from becoming Major League Soccer’s lone all-time games played leader amongst field players, trailing Steve Ralston (378) in that category ... Beckerman now places fifth in starts (340, one behind GK Joe Cannon and 32 behind Ralston) and minutes played at 30,508 (223 behind GK Joe Cannon, and 2,524 behind Ralston, approximately one full season away from playing more minutes than any field player in MLS history) ... Now in their 16th MLS campaigns, the Rimando/ Beckerman duo have shared a locker room in 10 of those years (MIA 2000-01; RSL 2007-present) ... Rimando - the lone man on RSL’s current roster to have played with Jason Kreis on the Wasatch Front, during the first four games of 2007 - recently moved into 2nd place all-time amongst MLS appearance leaders, his 386 career games ahead of Steve Ralston (378), next on Beckerman’s target list ...

With the June 21 W against KC, Rimando earned his 102nd win in an RSL uniform, the 168th of his 16year MLS career ...

THE PENALTY KICK DENIAL KING:

On June 7 v. Colorado, RSL GK Nick Rimando again displayed his flair for the dramatic, denying yet another opposing PK attempt ... This time, Dillon Powers was the victim, becoming the NINTH shooter denied in the last 13 attempts against the #WalloftheWasatch ... All-time, Rimando opponents have failed on 26 of 70 attempts in his 16-year career, including 17 of 40 tries since his move to RSL in 2007 ... Rimando has started in every one of his 386 career appearances in goal, winning MLS Cup in 2004 with United and in 2009 with RSL – came into MLS with the Miami Fusion ... 16 of his 121 career shutouts have come against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado, the highest total vs. one team ... In descending order: Colorado (15), Chicago/ Chivas/San Jose (10 each), Red Bulls (9), New England (8), Columbus/DCU/LA (7 each), KC (6), Dallas/Houston/ Seattle/Portland/Toronto (5 each), Philadelphia/ Vancouver (2 each), Montreal, NYCFC and Tampa Bay (1 each) ...

SABORIO SCORING EQUALED RSL SUCCESS:

On the strength of virtually any FW Alvaro Saborio goal, RSL was 43-6-13 all-time / all comps when he scores, the tally on May 23 his 79th goal in 159 career games for the Claret/Cobalt ... 63 of those goals have come in MLS reg. season play, with 43 at home and 20 away ... However, RSL has fared well in Sabo’s absences as well, posting a 28-14-10 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 … RSL went only 22-38-26 when Sabo plays and does not score ... In 6 seasons of service to RSL, Sabo scored a club-record 25 game-winners and had 16 multi-goal matches (21 and 13 in 128 MLS games) ...

WASATCH WALL REWRITES LEAGUE ANNALS:

Now in the midst of his 9th season with RSL, Rimando trails only the recently-retired Hartman in most league GK categories; Rimando needs just 13 wins to overtake Hartman for the all-time lead, along with 111 saves, 31 games and 2,378 minutes … The shutout record came mid-2014, with wins and the games/saves/minutes marks likely in 2016 (barring injury or extended absence) … 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 also just passed Ralston a month ago to move into sole possession of #2 all-time in MLS games started (386, Hartman all-time leader with 411) ... Rimando also 2nd all-time in minutes played with 34,903 (Hartman all-time leader with 37,260) ...

BACK TO 3 GAMES ABOVE .500 ALL-TIME:

The 2-0 win last Sat boosted RSL’s all-time MLS regularseason mark back to 3 games above .500, three months after reaching a 11-year cumulative high of 6 games over with the April 5 road win at San Jose ... Attaining the “.500” mark last year in MLS game 293 allowed the club to call itself “even” for the first time since May 2005, with a 3-3-2 mark early in its history ... 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 +/- DIFFERENTIAL TAKES HIT:

It took 265 all-time regular-season matches, but the 4-1 victory @CHV in May 2013 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 ... 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.

BECKERMAN RETURNS TO SET TONE:

7 CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON CAMPAIGNS:

Despite a midsummer 0-4-2 (all competitions) record without its Captain last year, RSL has now posted a 7-77 mark in 2013/14/15 without Beckerman, with the 15year veteran away on USA duty ... Since winning MLS Cup 2009, RSL is 17-17-14 without its Captain in MLS reg. season, CCL and Open Cup action (2-2-2 this season, winning July 1 + 18, drawing on both June 7 / July 1 and losing June 24 / July 11) ...

Los Angeles holds the overall mark of 10 straight seasons from 1996-2005, while RSL’s current mark matches Dallas (1996-2002) and trails the New England Revolution’s post-shootout era record of 8 seasons (2002-09), most of those years coming when 8 teams out of 10 or 12 advanced ...

One of RSL and MLS’s true “Iron Men,” Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman was rewarded in the offseason with a new contract extension and a DP-level deal ...

Beckerman stayed behind from this year’s USMNT January camp - despite the upcoming Gold Cup - in order to set the tone in RSL’s preseason, with the glut of new faces and implementation with the 4-3-3 formation ...

CASSAR STARTS STRONG IN 2014:

A year ago, RSL boss Jeff Cassar was the first head coach since the league’s 1996 inaugural season to go undefeated in his first 12 MLS matches at the helm, as RSL went 6-0-6 out of the gates in March/April and May, losing at SEA on May 30 ... The 12 games unbeaten to open a head coaching career for Cassar also matches a league record, as the 1996 Galaxy manager Lothar Osiander set the standard ...

A year ago, 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 firstever games ...

RSL SEASON XI:

RSL concludes the Summer of its 11th season in club history still navigating an unprecedented amount of change - for this club - despite the return of 19 players from a year ago and eight of 11 starters (gone are DF Nat Borchers / DF Chris Wingert / MF Ned Grabavoy) from a team that went 15-8-11 last year, finishing 3rd in the West behind LA and Seattle, qualifying for the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League and extending its playoff streak to 7 seasons, the longest active run in MLS ...

RSL has advanced to the MLS postseason for the 7th consecutive season - the longest active run in MLS and a league-high in the “expansion era” (post-2005) ...

Four current RSL players - GK Nick Rimando, DF Tony Beltran, MF Kyle Beckerman & MF Javier Morales as well as Jeff Cassar and Andy Williams - have been a part of all 7 postseason runs ... Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ... RSL has surpassed both the 15win and 50-point plateaus for the FIFTH consecutive season, something only the 2010-14 LA Galaxy have also accomplished in the post-shootout era ... D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 team was the only previous team to have put together 3 straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...

CONSISTENTLY ELITE IS RSL:

In 2013, 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) ... That 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 ...

WINDS OF CHANGE SWEEP OUT VETS:

Suddenly gone in the most recent offseason are former perennial starters Borchers, Wingert and Grabavoy, each of whom helped establish the “Team is the Star” culture at RSL, implementing the ethos established by former head coach Jason Kreis – now with NYCFC – and general Manager Garth Lagerwey – now with Seattle ...

RIO TINTO STADIUM

SANDY, UT

WORLD MARKET FINDS UTAH:

Also departed are former reserves GK Josh Saunders (NYCFC), Kwame Watson-Siriboe (NYCFC), Sebastian Velasquez (NYCFC), Cole Grossman (Staebek, Norway), Carlos Salcedo (Guadalajara, Mexico), FW Robbie Findley (Toronto FC) and Rich Balchan (Tampa Bay NASL) ...

Arriving for 2015 to make Cassar’s squad younger, more athletic and potentially more diverse formationally as the club seeks new facets in its attack with 4-33 experimentation, are international reinforcements recruited by Cassar’s coaching staff: Brazilian MF Wellington “Pecka” Paeckert (who played 4 seasons at NASL Ft. Lauderdale, including two under current RSL goalkeeping coach Daryl Shore, the former Strikers boss in 2012-13), Jamaican DF Demar Phillips (Aalesunds, Norway, and a JAM National Teammate of current RSL coaches Andy Williams and Tyrone Marshall), and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez (Dorados, Mexico) ...

RETURNING ICONS:

CONCACAF, FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY:

The continuity, stability and excellence emblematic of RSL returns once again with Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando, Major League Soccer’s active leaders in minutes, appearances and starts, among other categories ... The active U.S. National Team duo are joined in Jurgen Klinsmann’s 2015 pre-Gold Cup setup by young starlet Luis Gil, who earned his second-ever cap on Feb. 8 in a 2-0 win against Panama ... Also back for 2015 are several other long-time RSL faces, including playmaking MF Javier Morales – the “maestro” – as well as DF Chris Schuler, DF Tony Beltran, and FW Alvaro Saborio, the club’s all-time leading scorer in both MLS play and across all competitions ... Back in the locker room after two years away in at Red Bull New York is DF Jamison Olave, the imposing Colombian centerback who played at RSL from 2008-12 ...

FINALS ABOUND IN ODD-NUMBERED YEARS:

Since the 2008 campaign – the first full season under former head coach Jason Kreis and GM Garth Lagerwey, authors of the “Team is the Star” ethos - 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 -2015 ???

By virtue of last year’s regular season, RSL has again gained entry into CONCACAF Champions League play, where the tiny club from a flyover state in the black hole that is the Mountain time zone once famously carried the MLS flag all the way to the 2011 CCL Final, losing by a goal at home in a match that required only a draw that could have catapulted it to the FIFA Club World Cup ...

Several of the region’s standouts now call Utah home, as Jamaica back Demar Phillips and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez join a team that already has Costa Rica sniper Alvaro Saborio and several U.S.A. internationals, including Beckerman, Rimando, hopefuls Schuler and Gil, as well as Tony Beltran, who sought to reprise his 2013 Gold Cup role ...

ACADEMY STARS EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE:

2015 is expected to be a big year for a pair of RSLArizona academy products, as Jordan Allen and Justen Glad – each signed by RSL in 2014 – suffered through injury-marred rookie campaigns in MLS ... Allen is known for his versatility, athleticism and technical skills, seeing minutes in each of RSL’s first two games a year ago before suffering an ankle then an ACL injury that sidelined him for the season following microfracture surgery ... Glad eschewed a full ride at Stanford to sign his MLS deal last May, earning acclaim for his speed of thought and quick adjustments across the back line in reserve games, before a late-season meniscus tear ...

LOCAL TIES THAT BIND RSL ROSTER:

DF Phanuel Kavita attended high school in Salt Lake City (Brighton H.S.) and is a product of the club’s Arizona youth academy in Casa Grande, while DF Boyd Okwuonu was thrilled to be drafted by RSL after brother Willie completed his four-year career as a running back at Weber State University in Ogden, UT ... While Kavita is the club’s first SLC-born academy product to earn an RSL contract, he becomes the second Utah native inside of six months to gain a true “homegrown” distinction, as Park City native Sebastian Saucedo – an 18-year old FW in the United States U-18 National Team setup – left the academy last Fall, his MLS contract going into effect on Jan. 1, 2015 ...

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY FRI JULY 24

9:00 PM MT

Adolfo “Fito” Ovalle is the most recent local signing, as the Layton, UT-born Chilean U-20 star bypassed a Univ. of Maryland full ride to sign a homegrown deal with RSL this season ... Last week, RSL’s USL side, Real Monarchs, signed Provo-born Maikon Orellana, an El Salvadoran National Team player ... The Monarchs already have former Alta High School FW Garrett Losee in the mix ...

LEAVING POINTS ON THE PITCH?:

The March 29/April 5 win streak almost didn’t happen though, as the 88’ goal conceded to TFC man Jackson a month ago reminded RSL fans of the club’s difficulty in 2013/14 in holding a lead ... On 11 occasions a year ago, RSL conceded a lead and ended up with a late draw or loss ... The Sounders’ Andy Rose scored a late game-winner in mid-Sept. @SEA for the first stoppage-time decider that left RSL with no points, but late equalizers conceded last season @ SJ, v VAN, @ PHI, @ CLB, v NY each resulted in disappointing draws left bitter tastes in Claret/Cobalt mouths ... The script flipped at Chicago last year on May 3, with the late Plata/Saborio heroics reversing an 0-2 deficit to capture the full 3 points ... What will ‘15 hold in store? ... In 34 MLS games last season, the club trailed just 413 minutes out of a possible 3,060, for an average of just 12’ per game, according to Peter Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau ... RSL scored first in 21 of its 34 games in 2014, posting a 13-3-5 mark when finding the back of the net first ... Only fellow West playoff sides LA (avg. of 14’ trailing per game) and DAL (avg. of 16’) were in RSL’s stratosphere ... RSL has already trailed for 424 minutes this season ...

2015 DEBUT FOR 22-y.o. FW “PLATITA”:

RSL FW Joao Plata made his long-awaited 2015 debut back on May 23 - just a minute v NYCFC officially, and 38 minutes at LA on May 27, before starting and going 70’ on May 30 in Vancouver ... Prior to an 83’ performance on June 21 in the win against Kansas City, “Platita” had gone the full 90 in each of his two previous matches, June 7 v COL (0-0) and June 16 v Sounders 2 (2-1 W), the diminutive Ecuadoran scoring the 2nd-half equalizer and then assisting on Javier Morales’ game-winner ... Plata’s 2015 got off to an awfully unlucky start, breaking the fifth metatarsal of his left foot on the first day of preseason in a non-contact turf injury, an unwelcome malady after RSL bought the player outright in the most recent offseason with a DP-level contract ... The lightning-fast Ecuadoran led RSL with a teamleading 13 goals a year ago, his opportunity seized when FW Alvaro Saborio suffered a similar injury in Costa Rica’s 2014 World Cup prep ... All-time, Plata now has 21 goals and 20 assists in MLS play, with 17g/15a for RSL and 3g/5a for Toronto (2011-12) ...

The 22 year old FW also has 3g/3a for RSL in Open Cup play in 2013/15, moving him into a tie with Kyle Beckerman, Jason Kreis, Andy Williams and Devon Sandoval for the club’s all-time Open Cup scoring lead ...

RARE OCCURANCE FROM PK SPOT:

Last July 4 v NE, RSL was awarded and converted 2 penalty kicks in the same game, only the 3rd such occasion in team history (RSL has seen its opponents awarded 2x on 6 occasions) ... Javier Morales and Joao Plata each converted from the spot as part of RSL’s 7-for-8 conversion rate last year on PKs (Morales 4-4, Plata 1-1, Saborio 2-3) ... The lone imperfection - an early attempt for Sabo @PHI last April - was rescued by a Luke Mulholland rebound goal ...

RARE MISFIRE ON PKS ... :

RSL’s last PK miss prior to Sabo’s 2014 effort at PHI 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 41-for-47 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) ... With Javier Morales (now 2-for-2 after the July 1 PK v Portland) converting from the spot, RSL continues its perfect 7-for-7 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... With Joao Plata (1-for-1), other RSL players to have attempts in LHUSOC are: Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

UNBEATEN CENTER-BACK PAIRING:

With the offseason salary-cap move of long-time vet DF Nat Borchers to Portland, RSL brought back another icon from the club’s glory days - Colombian DF Jamison Olave - to pair with mainstay Chris Schuler, who assumed Olave’s starting spot with the 2012 move of Olave to New York Red Bulls three seasons ago ... Olave and Schuler had posted an unbeaten 4-0-0 mark for the team when starting together in 2010/11 in the diamond 4-4-2 setup, prior to the 2-0-2 start this season in the club’s 4-3-3 look ... While the 6-0-2 mark is a small sample size, the Olave/ Borchers combination achieved a 40-21-27 mark from 2009-11 by comparison ... Schuler expected to return any day now, but Olave will be out until mid-September ...

Several new faces are seeing time in the Claret-andCobalt in the first 1/2 of this 2015 season, as MF Jordan Allen, FW Devon Sandoval, MF John Stertzer, DF Aaron Maund and now DF Phanuel Kavita and MF Pecka are seeing time ... Sandoval saw his 3-game run on the scoresheet end May 27 in LA, after the providing game-winning assists on May 9 at Chicago and May 23 v NYCFC, to go along with his MLS Goal of the Week in the 1-4 loss at Montreal on May 16 … RSL is averaging 1.3 goals per 90 minutes with the third-year man out of New Mexico on the field (13 games played, 6 starts), compared to a 0.5 average when he is on the bench … 23 players to have started a game for RSL this year in the club’s first 21 games this season, as DF Justen Glad made his first XI debut last weekend … RSL boss Jeff Cassar has given 27 players LEAGUE minutes this year, meaning everyone on the roster except GK Lalo Fernandez has seen MLS time after both DF Phanuel Kavita & DF Boyd Okwuonu saw minutes in last month’s 2-2 draw v Columbus ... 3rd-year MF John Stertzer found the back of the net with the May 23 game-winner at home vs. NYCFC, the 58th player in RSL’s 11-year, 125-player history to have scored at least one goal for the Claret-and-Cobalt ... FW Sebastian Jaime later became the 59th - who will be #60? ...

ALL-TIME RSL OPEN CUP SNAPSHOT:

This year’s trio of home wins over Sounders 2, Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy have vaulted RSL’s all-time record in Open Cup (or Cup-related MLS play-in matches) to 11-10-1 (PK win = draw), scoring 40 goals while also conceding 36 … All 11 wins have come at home, while the PK win came at San Jose in 2010 ... Against lower-division teams, RSL is now 6-3-0 in Open Cup action ... RSL defeated Charleston in 2013 at home, while losing 4-6 at Minnesota in 2005 (despite a Jason Kreis hat trick) before defeating the USL Virginia Beach Mariners 2-1 at home in 2006 and the Wilmington Hammerheads 2-0 in 2011, prior to the 2012 1-3 loss to the Minnesota Stars FC … Each of the 2005, 2006 and 2013 games against USL/NASL clubs went 120 minutes after being tied in regulation … The this year’s foray through the tourney marks the 4th occasion - joining 2006, 2011 and 2013 - that RSL has advanced to the Quarterfinal Stage of the tournament, with the June 26, 2013 win over Carolina marking the first time in 100 years that a Utah side has progressed to the Semifinal stage, at Kansas City on Wed., Aug. 12 ... In prior iterations, RSL was eliminated by MLS Western Conference rivals Colorado Rapids (2006, 0-2 at RiceEccles Stadium) and FC Dallas (2011, 0-2 at Pizza Hut Park) ...

SANDOVAL RISES TO OPEN CUP CALL:

RSL’s leading scorer in the 2013 run to the #USOC100 Final was then-rookie FW Devon Sandoval, who had 3 goals in his 4 Open Cup matches ... Sandoval’s 3 goals in as many games that year ties him with Captain Kyle Beckerman for the club’s active lead, while Andy Williams and Jason Kreis also scored 3 times in Open Cup-affiliated games ... Joao Plata has joined that group this year, while Javier Morales has as well ... RSL had 13 goals scored / 6 goals allowed in that 2013 run, its deepest ever ... Alvaro Saborio, Joao Plata and Khari Stephenson each scored 2 goals in 5 games en route to a crushing home loss in the centennial final to D.C. United, one of the historically worst sides in MLS history ...

ANOTHER CRUSHING HOME CUP FINAL:

On October 1, 2013, RSL’s 0-1 loss in the 100th LHUSOC Final was eerily reminiscent of 0-1 home losses in the 2008 West Final and the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final, the Utah club unable to overcome late first-half goals despite dominating possession, hitting posts and dictating tempo ... That year’s loss came in RSL’s 13th HOME elimination game (out of 14) in the club’s six-year history at Rio Tinto Stadium, advancing only once each in CONCACAF Champions League and Open Cup annals (prior to 2013) ... RSL had failed to win in 3 MLS Cup Playoff elimination games at home, prior to the 2013 West Semi win over LA Galaxy ... Buoyed by the 2013 and 2015 Open Cup matches, RSL now has a 10-5-2 home record in elimination games ...

THE COIN *WAS* THE STAR?:

That Oct. 1, 2013 U.S. Open Cup Final was RSL’s 5th consecutive home match in the tourney, the club earning the right to host by a series of fortuitous coin flips at US Soccer HQ ... Prior to the Semifinal win over Portland, RSL had defeated a series of visiting lower-division elite en route to the semi v PDX, defeating Atlanta (3-2 aet), Charleston (5-2 aet) and Carolina (3-0 in regulation) ... Last year, RSL lost coin-flip decisions to create the road trip to Atlanta, while this year’s hosting rights were awarded in the newly-adopted draw process ...

THE RING IS THE THING:

While Real Salt Lake might not have seen much success during its first 10 runs in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the “RSL Family” - specifically the current Technical Staff - has lifted the coveted Dewar Trophy 11 times before, with a 12th title won by an active player … RSL President Bill Manning won the Open Cup trophy as a player with the 1991 Brooklyn Italians, despite a 29’ red card in the final match ... Current Head Coach Jeff Cassar (along with assistant Ted Eck, former manager Jason Kreis and former GM Garth Lagerwey) were members of the 1997 U.S. Open Cup-winning Dallas Burn … Current RSL assistant coach Daryl Shore won 3 USOC titles with the Chicago Fire as their GK coach in 2000, 2003 and 2006 ... One of Shore’s players in 2003 – MF Andy Williams – is now an assistant on Cassar’s staff … Cassar’s newest hire, assistant coach Tyrone Marshall, also owns a trio of Open Cup rings, emerging victorious in 2005 with the LA Galaxy and in both 2009 and 2010 with Seattle Sounders FC ... Finally, RSL Technical Director Craig Waibel won an Open Cup title in 2001 with the LA Galaxy at the outset of his MLS playing career ... Outside back Abdoulie Mansally is the lone player on the current RSL roster to have won an Open Cup, back in 2007 with the New England Revolution ...

ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE OPEN CUP, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK:

Dating back to 1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest cup competition in United States soccer and is among the oldest in the world … Open to all affiliated amateur and professional teams in the United States, the annual U.S. Open Cup is a 100-year-old single-elimination tournament … The U.S. Open Cup is similar to domestic cup competitions popular throughout Europe, South America and the rest of the world … Cup competitions, which usually run concurrent with a country’s league season, are open in the early stages to any club that can qualify, giving local amateur teams a chance to compete against the best teams a country has to offer … This year again guarantees the “David vs. Goliath” match-ups tournament fans have desired, as all 16 U.S.based MLS teams entered the 91-team tournament proper in the 3rd round and took on survivors from the NASL, USL and amateur ranks … Since its inception in 1996, Major League Soccer teams have won 18 of the last 19 U.S. Open Cup titles, with Seattle Sounders FC falling just short 3 years ago of becoming the first-ever team to win FOUR consecutive titles, as Sporting Kansas City hosted and won in extra time over Seattle in 2012 (Seattle did win a coveted 4th title in the tourney last year over Philadephia) …

For only the fifth time since 2006, RSL participates in the official Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tourney, after failing to emerge from MLS qualifying rounds in 2007-10 … As has been the case in recent years, the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champion receives entry into the 2016/17 edition of CONCACAF Champions League … Five wins to enter CCL marks path of least resistance ...

2013 OPEN CUP REWIND:

Throughout the summer two years ago, RSL won a series of coin flips at U.S. Soccer headquarters in Chicago, allowing the then-9th-year MLS club to host each of its first three matches in the tourney against lower-division competition ... The 3-0 victory back on June 26 against Carolina propelled RSL to an August 7 semifinal match against Portland ... Earlier in the tourney, RSL won, 3-2 (aet), over visiting Atlanta back on May 28 and again on June 12 with a 5-2 comeback win over Charleston ... RSL had never previously advanced past the Quarterfinal stage of the 100-year old tourney ... In 2012, RSL was upset at home by the NASL Minnesota Stars FC, 1-3, after purchasing the rights to host from the lowerdivision club ... Jason Kreis called that setback “the most embarrassing moment in club history” ... The rundown:

OCT 1 FINAL: RSL 0 : 1 D.C. UNITED:

A seeing-eye cross(?)/shot from RSL preseason trialist Lewis Neal in first-half stoppage-time proved the difference for D.C., who won its third Open Cup title and, in the process, secured a spot in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League ... RSL generated most of the offense on the evening, outshooting D.C. 18-6 and holding possession nearly 70 percent of the time, D.C. weathering the onslaught with some timely stops and a handful of fortuitous bounces ... In the 59th minute, RSL midfielder Sebastian Velasquez got free in the United box and got off a left-footed shot that clanged off the crossbar after a slight D.C. deflection, resulting in a corner kick ... RSL threatened again in the 71st minute, when after a lengthy back-and-forth in the box, Nat Borchers finally headed a shot that went just wide ... A similar scenario happened 10 minutes later when an Álvaro Saborío shot was saved just over the crossbar by Bill Hamid ... United’s goalkeeper stayed under fire to the very end, saving a Devon Sandoval bicycle kick in extra time and watching a Saborío header hit the crossbar right before the final whistle ...

AUG 7 SEMIFINAL: RSL 2 : 1 PORTLAND:

In what many (rightfully) thought might have been a preview of a 2013 MLS Cup Playoff Series, RSL defeated the Portland Timbers on August 7 in the Open Cup Semi to advance to the Oct. 1, 2013 Final ... RSL’s all-time leading scorer FW Alvaro Saborio headed home a Kyle Beckerman cross in the 7’ to give the home side an early lead ... After some Nick Rimando heroics kept Portland at bay just before half, RSL saw its lead doubled in the 78’ through substitute Joao Plata ... Portland playmaker Diego Valeri pulled one back early in stoppage time, but RSL held on for the 2-1 semifinal win before a record-setting crowd of 14,742 - the highestattended US Open Cup semifinal game in modern pro era history (1995-present) ...

JUNE 26: RSL 3 : 0 CAROLINA:

DF Tony Beltran, DF Chris Wingert and FW Alvaro Saborio scored for RSL, which won its 6th straight game (a streak eventually extended to 11) - across all competitions ... RSL controlled from the very start, holding the lion’s share of possession against a Carolina team that was content to drop 10 – and occasionally 11 – players behind the ball ... RSL had the game’s first chance in the 11th minute, Captain Kyle Beckerman picking up a loose corner kick outside the 18 on the left side, taking a touch and curling a wonderfully shaped shot toward the top-right corner ... The ball looked ticketed for the back of the net, but RailHawks GK Akira Fitzgerald came up with a big stop to keep things scoreless ... Beltran scored the second goal of his professional career to put RSL up 1-0 in the 35’ ... The right back picked up a loose ball outside the box on the right side, took a touch and let fly, rifling a low shot through the Carolina defense, past Fitzgerald and inside the far post ... Beltran nearly added a second in the 44th minute, collecting a ball in the right side of the area before cutting back onto his left foot and curling a 10-yard effort toward the top-left corner that Fitzgerald saved fantastically ... Wingert got the better of Fitzgerald in the 51st minute to put RSL up 2-0, as the veteran left back collected a ball on the left side, dribbling it onto his right foot and hitting a shot that deflected off of a RailHawks player, past a wrong-footed Fitzgerald and into the net ... The strike was just the second of Wingert’s professional career and his first in Open Cup play ... RSL came agonizingly close to making it 3-0 in the 64th. MF Javier Morales curled in a corner from the right side and Saborio ran onto it, powering a header off of the near post from five yards out ... Saborio wasn’t so cruelly denied in the 85th, when he flicked a header home to make it 3-0 ... Grabavoy started the play, slipping substitute FW Olmes Garcia through on the right wing ... The 20-year-old Colombian took a touch and curled a gorgeous cross into Saborio, who beat a Carolina player to the ball and flicked a fantastic header inside the far post from the top-right corner of the six ...

rebound bounced directly to Paterson, who slotted home easily from eight yards out with his first touch. The Claret-and-Cobalt came out strong in the second half, nearly pulling a goal back through captain Kyle Beckerman on two different occasions in the 55th minute ... Beckerman collected a ball in the center of Charleston’s third and ripped a 30-yarder that flew past Battery GK Odisnel Cooper and bounced off the left post ... RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis made a double substitution in the 63rd minute, bringing FW Joao Plata on for DF Aaron Maund and inserting MF Khari Stephenson for Velasquez ... The changes made an immediate impact, with Plata in particular livening things up for the Claretand-Cobalt with dynamic on-the-ball runs down the left wing ... Real Salt Lake pulled back a goal three minutes after the double switch, with Sandoval heading home a DF Tony Beltran cross in the 66th minute ... Beltran played a very nice ball from the right wing to the back post and Sandoval did the rest, rising over his man and nodding his header across the face of goal and inside the right post ... RSL continued pushing after the goal, with Plata eventually earning a penalty in the 78th minute after he was chopped down in the left side of the area by a Battery defender ... The Ecuadorian attacker buried the ensuing spot kick in the 79th, sending Cooper the wrong way before drilling the penalty into the top left corner to tie the game at 2-2 ... Though it came close a few times in regulation, the Claret-and-Cobalt would have to wait until extra time to find the winner ... Sandoval put the Utah side on top for good in the 96th minute, heading home a Plata cross to give RSL the 3-2 lead ...

Real Salt Lake almost made it 4-0 on several occasions in the dying minutes but couldn’t quite find the goal ...

Stephenson added to RSL’s lead in the 105th minute ... The powerful Jamaican collected a Morales pass in the middle of Charleston’s third, unleashing a trademark rocket into the top right corner to double the Claretand-Cobalt’s advantage ... Morales iced the game in stoppage time of the first period of extra time, coolly converting a penalty kick that Sandoval earned to put RSL up three ...

JUNE 12: RSL 5 : 2 CHARLESTON:

MAY 28: RSL 3 : 2 ATLANTA:

Real Salt Lake advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on June 12, scoring five unanswered goals – including three in extra time – to defeat the USL Pro Charleston Battery 5-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium ... RSL fell behind early, giving up two goals in the first 20 minutes ... Charleston opened the scoring in the 16th minute when FW Dane Kelly ran behind the defense and collected a long ball on the left wing, dribbling into the box before curling a 15-yard right-footer past diving RSL GK Josh Saunders and inside the far post ... Things went from bad to worse for RSL just two minutes later, with Battery MF Nicki Paterson tapping home a rebound to put Charleston up 2-0 in the 18th ... MF Quinton Griffith made the play, collecting a ball in the right side of the area and smashing a low drive off the left post ... The

Against the Silverbacks, RSL saw an early Kyle Beckerman goal (3’ - assist by Javier Morales), but conceded to Atlanta in the 87’ to force a pair of 15-min OT periods ... RSL scored twice in the first period, as rookie FW Devon Sandoval (98’) and another first-year RSL player, MF Khari Stephenson (101’) gave the home side some breathing room, before Atlanta scored in the 121+’ for the final margin ... RSL looked like it would cruise early, with Beckerman putting the Claret-and-Cobalt on top just 3 min into the game ... The Claret-and-Cobalt captain got on the end of MF Javier Morales’ corner kick at the left post, flicking his header home from six yards to put the Utah side on top ... Head Coach Jason Kreis’ side continued attacking after going up, registering decent looks in the 10th, 18th and

24th minutes before generating a golden opportunity in the 26th ... Morales had the chance, collecting FW Robbie Findley’s smart square ball at the top of the box and carrying it past an Atlanta player and into the right side of the area ... The Argentine playmaker had a 1-v-1 with Silverbacks GK Joe Nasco but couldn’t take advantage, chipping a shot wide of the far post from eight yards ... The game settled down after Morales’s chance, with both sides struggling to create opportunities in the extremely rainy conditions ... The next good chance didn’t come until after halftime, with RSL FW Devon Sandoval heading a Findley cross on goal but off of a diving Nasco in the 51’ ... RSL generated decent looks in the 75th, 77th and 81st minutes, but couldn’t quite find an insurance goal; that came back to haunt the Claret-and-Cobalt in the 87th minute, when FW Kellen Gulley – on-loan to Atlanta from the Chicago Fire – equalized for the Silverbacks ... Gulley collected a square ball on the break from fellow substitute FW Ruben Luna just outside the RSL box, turning on goal and curling a shot that RSL GK Josh Saunders got a finger to but couldn’t keep out ... Real Salt Lake dominated the first period of extra time, scoring twice in three minutes to build a 3-1 lead on the Silverbacks ... Sandoval put RSL up 2-1 in the 98th, putting the exclamation on a beautiful move that saw Morales slip FW Joao Plata in on the left side for a low cross that Sandoval slid home from five yards ... Substitute MF Khari Stephenson added a third for RSL in the 101st minute, absolutely slamming a half-volley into the top right corner from 20 yards for his first goal in a Claret-and-Cobalt uniform ... Substitute Atlanta MF Pablo Cruz pulled one back for the Silverbacks in the 121st minute, curling a ball into the top left corner from eight yards out in the right side of the box ...

IN SEARCH OF A TROPHY:

In its history, Real Salt Lake has now registered a 1010-1 all-time Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup record (39 GF / 36 GA) in the competition’s games/qualifiers across 2005-15 … That record includes five MLS “play-in” games: the June, 2010 1-2 (aet) loss at D.C. United; that April’s 3-3 draw (5-3 PKs to advance) at San Jose; the 1-4 road loss at expansion Seattle to the eventual Open Cup champions in 2009; and 2008’s 4-0 home win over then-expansion Earthquakes and the subsequent 0-2 loss @ Columbus …

rundown

RSL’s

2012: RSL knew a week out that it would face the

winner of minor-league foes Des Moines Menace (PDL) and Minnesota Stars FC (NASL), but was pulling for a Des Moines victory in order to host the match ... However, Minnesota won in PKs and was set to host before selling the rights to the match back to RSL ... A crowd of 17,221 came to Rio Tinto Stadium that night, a record for a non-Final U.S. Open Cup attendance, but went home disappointed as RSL dropped a 1-3 decision despite 90-minute performances from six prominent RSL players - Nat Borchers, Jamison Olave, Chris Wingert, Jonny Steele, Luis Gil and Ned Grabavoy - as well as Kyle Reynish, Paulo Junior, Yordany Alvarez and Emiliano Bonfigli ... Terakazu Tanaka played 45 before making way to Tony Beltran, while Sebastian Velasquez came in at 53’ to provide offensive spark ... Ultimately, RSL was doomed by conceding a 3’ goal to Kevin Venegas on a poor clearance from Reynish ... Luis Gil equalized in the 29’ on an assist by Grabavoy, and RSL had two chances in the 38’ to go up - first a Paulo Jr. breakaway was snuffed by MN GK Van Oekel, then Grabavoy’s one-timer on the rebound was tipped over the bar ... In the 44’, Olave was adjudged to have handled a cross into the box, and the resultant PK conversion gave the Stars a 2-1 halftime lead ... Despite outshooting the Stars 21-14 on the night and owning a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks, RSL saw the minorleague club ice the game in the 58’ when Simone Bracalello hit a long-range blast from outside the area for the 3-1 final margin ...

2011: Jason Kreis’ team opened the 98th LHUSOC tourney at home against the Wilmington Hammerheads, winning 2-0 on late first-half goals by Tony Beltran and Jean Alexandre ... The Beltran goal was the fourth-year defender’s first in an RSL uniform in any competition since being drafted 3rd overall by the Claret-and-Cobalt in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, the former UCLA Bruin still looking to snap a 91-match scoreless streak to kick off his career in MLS action ... An impressive crowd of 7,620 came out on short notice, the tournament’s largest attendance prior to the Seattle Semifinal at Century Link ... The club’s reward? - a Quarterfinal trip to Pizza Hut Park in Dallas, where it had never won ... After RSL controlled the balance of play in the MLS encounter just three days prior at Rio Tinto Stadium, it was FC Dallas taking similar control at home in the Open Cup Quarter, outshooting RSL 7-1 in the first half en route to a 1-0 lead at the break ... The Dallas advantage would come via a dead ball opportunity by Jair Benitez, who curled a 30-yard free kick straight out from goal into the upper right corner and past diving RSL GK Kyle Reynish in the 18th minute ... RSL would come out of the locker room with renewed

energy, and came close to leveling the match in the 54th minute when FW Fabian Espíndola’s left-footed bender for the far left post missed a foot wide ... Off the ensuing goal kick it was Jackson running onto FW Eric Alexander’s flick-on header and past the last RSL defender before sending a perfectly-weighted chip over Reynish and under the crossbar to double the Hoops’ lead at 2-0 ... From there the home side would effectively put a chokehold on the contest, with RSL MF Collen Warner’s audacious volley from the edge of the area that struck off the crossbar in the 74th minute counting as the visitors’ best chance to mount a comeback ...

2010: Despite entering the year as the defending MLS Cup Champions, RSL was forced on the road to pursue Open Cup hardware due to its 11-12-7 regularseason MLS mark in 2009 … On April 14 at San Jose, RSL stormed out to a 2-0 lead at Buck Shaw Stadium with goals by FW Robbie Findley and MF Nelson Gonzalez, but it was former Earthquake and current RSL player Arturo Alvarez that led the SJ comeback, scoring in the 88’ to force overtime and assisting on a goal in 103’ to give the ‘Quakes the lead … RSL battled back in OT, DF Nat Borchers heading home a Robbie Russell cross in the 118’ to force PKs, where RSL won 5-3, GK Kyle Reynish saving the Alvarez effort in the 1st frame to make the difference … In June, RSL played at RFK Stadium against D.C. United to determine the final MLS spot in the Open Cup proper, just days before visiting the White House to celebrate its MLS Cup win in 2009 … With FW Robbie Findley away at the World Cup, captain Kyle Beckerman and perennial starters Andy Williams and Chris Wingert unavailable, RSL started a 4-5-1 with new faces and players in new positions … After a scoreless first 60 minutes, both sides wilting in extreme heat and humidity, RSL inserted MF Javier Morales, FW Fabian Espindola and FW Alvaro Saborio in the 63’ to inject life into the RSL attack, switching back to the 4-4-2 diamond … D.C. scored first, however, on a 75’ PK, as rookie MF Collen Warner was adjudged to have handled a Chris Pontius shot following a stellar Reynish save … RSL MF Will Johnson answered back with a PK of his own just 8 minutes later, and the sides went to extra time … Teenage RSL MF Luis Gil made his debut for the squad entering to start the OT, but it was another teen phenom – United’s Andy Najar – that came on for the final 15 minutes and provided the goal that sent D.C. on to the tourney proper …

2009: RSL kicked off its qualifying road for the 2009 LHUSOC at Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA, the Sounders’ training field … Expansion Seattle won a coin toss to host RSL, the Western Conference finalist from the year prior … The Sounders scored goals three minutes apart – in each half – to tally a 4-1 win over RSL, Sebastian LeToux tallying two goals and two assists … MF Will Johnson scored an unassisted goal in the 32nd minute to cut the Sounders lead in half after goals by LeToux (24’) and Sanna Nyassi (26’), but Roger Levesque (53’) and LeToux (55’) followed up in the 2nd half …

IN SEARCH OF A TROPHY (cont’d): 2008: RSL kicked off its qualifying prospects for the

2008 U.S. Open Cup with a dominating, 4-0 late-April win at Rice-Eccles, as RSL MF Kyle Beckerman got the ball rolling with goals in the 21st and 33rd minutes … RSL would then punish the ‘Quakes off the kick-off seconds later, as FW Yura Movsisyan converted the turnover into RSL’s second goal inside the minute to put the game out of reach … RSL MF Andy Williams made sure he maintained his Open Cup scoring mastery, slotting home in the 90th minute to close out the scoring … GK Chris Seitz saw his initial first-team action of 2008 and recorded his first career clean sheet with his four-save effort … A month later in Columbus, Crew goals by Steven Lenhart (26’) and Robbie Rogers (53’) sandwiched around a 49th-minute Dema Kovalenko red card ended RSL’s 2008 Open Cup chances …

2007: RSL kicked off its run to the 2007 U.S. Open Cup on by taking a 2-1 overtime victory over the Kansas City Wizards in a “play-in” contest … A Jeff Cunningham penalty kick a dozen minutes in appeared as if it would stand tall, but a goal by KC’s Sasha Victorine in the 88th minute would send the match to added extra time … In the game’s 109th minute, Andy Williams again was the hero, finishing a nifty give-and-go from 15 yards out to lift RSL … In the next round, however, for the second consecutive season, RSL’s Open Cup run ended at the hands of the hated Colorado Rapids, as two Jacob Peterson goals, including one 3 minutes into stoppage time, led the Rapids to a 2-1 win over RSL … Chris Klein scored the 64th-minute equalizer in Jason Kreis’ Open Cup coaching debut, but it wasn’t enough to send the game into OT … 2006: Real Salt Lake saw added time once again in its 2006 USOC opener against another USL-1 side, Virginia Beach Mariners, but this time it was RSL getting the goal in overtime, as Andy Williams’ 93rd-minute strike lifted the MLS side to a 2-1 win in the Third Round, marking its first-ever USOC victory … RSL’s run would be a short one, as the Utah side had the better of the play at home against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado, but the Rapids’ Peterson got the only goal in a 1-0 win in a 4th Round affair … 2005: RSL saw its inaugural run in the 2005 Open Cup

end abruptly, as tournament upstart Minnesota Thunder overcame a Jason Kreis hat trick – the only 3-goal performance in RSL history in all competitions, prior to Robbie Findley’s effort in April ‘09 – to post a wild 6-4 upset in a Third Round match the USL First Division side took to a 30-minute added time session thanks to an 88th minute equalizer …

#SKCvMTL: BY THE NUMBERS

The third meeting this season between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake will kick off Friday at Rio Tinto Stadium. The clubs played to a scoreless draw on April 11 at Sporting Park before Real Salt Lake earned a 2-1 home win on June 21.

Just twice in the last nine #RSLvSKC fixtures has a team scored more than one goal in a match. Sporting KC has outscored Real Salt Lake 8-6 during that stretch with a 3-2-4 record. Friday marks the sixth all-time trip to Rio Tinto Stadium for Sporting KC, who have come away with two wins and three losses in previous visits. Peter Vermes’ men condemned Real Salt Lake to their first ever defeat at the venue with a 2-0 win on May 16, 2009, then Ike Opara scored a 97th-minute game-winner -- the latest goal in club regular season history -- in July 2013 to give SKC a 2-1 win.

Sporting KC is currently riding a nine-game home winning streak in all competitions, setting a new club record. Sporting KC won its 300th game in all competitions after defeating the Houston Dynamo 3-1 in the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday. Peter Vermes is one win shy of moving into a tie as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history. His 85 regular season victories and 107 wins across all competitions are one behind Bob Gansler. Matt Besler made his 200th appearance for Sporting KC in all competitions last Saturday in a 2-1 win over Montreal. Chance Myers is one shy of his 100th career regular season start and his 150th appearance for Sporting KC in all competitions. Benny Feilhaber is tied with Josh Wolff for sixth in Sporting KC history with 30 assists across all competitions. He is one shy of tying Mo Johnston for fifth. Dom Dwyer ranks six in Sporting KC history with 39 goals across all competitions, two shy of tying Kei Kamara for fifth. On July 12, Tim Melia became the first goalkeeper in MLS history to earn shutouts in six of his first nine league matches with a new club. On July 12, Soni Mustivar recorded 19 interceptions to set a single-game record during the Opta era (2011-present). His 17 recoveries in the same match were second-most in an MLS match all-time. Amobi Okugo could make his Sporting KC debut on Friday. He has played 132 MLS matches and is 33 minutes shy of reaching 10,000 regular season minutes played.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 24, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC TRAVELS TO FACE REAL SALT LAKE ON FRIDAY Sporting KC (9-3-6, 33 points) hits the road for a precursor of the U.S. Open Cup semifinal when they take on Real Salt Lake (6-7-8, 26 points) at 10 p.m. CT on Friday in the club’s third game in a seven-day span. A win on Friday would see Sporting KC move provisionally into first place in the Western Conference standings. The club leads MLS with 1.8.3 points per game and has just one defeat in their last 14 matches across all competitions, with the lone setback coming last month against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Second-half substitute Olmes Garcia came off the bench in that game to score a 93rd-minute winner after Sebastian Jaime and Dom Dwyer exchanged goals in the opening 30 minutes. Both sides will be without veteran players as Graham Zusi (SKC), Kyle Beckerman (RSL) and Nick Rimando (RSL) are with the United States Men’s National Team at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

SPORTING KC ACQUIRES AMOBI OKUGO FROM ORLANDO CITY SC Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on Monday in exchange for midfielder Servando Carrasco. Okugo has been added to Sporting KC’s roster and will be eligible for selection ahead of Friday’s road match at Real Salt Lake. Okugo has logged 132 MLS appearances as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing out of UCLA. He started all 20 games in his only collegiate season for the Bruins, earning Pac-10 Freshman of the Year honors and being named the Most Valuable Player at the 2010 MLS Player Combine. Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels and attended the U.S. Soccer Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida for three semesters with the U.S. U-17’s from 2006-2007. He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands. Between 2012-2014, Okugo led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions. He joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015 after leading the Union through their first five MLS seasons. Okugo appeared in 17 of Orlando City SC’s 22 matches across all competitions this year, including two U.S. Open Cup appearances, for the Lions.

SPORTING KC ADVANCES TO U.S. OPEN CUP SEMIFINALS Sporting KC secured a berth in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals with a 3-1 comeback victory over the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday at Sporting Park. Will Bruin opened the scoring for a Dynamo side playing with 10 men after Luis Garrido’s first half red card, but Sporting KC rallied for three goals in the final 20 minutes on strikes from Benny Feilhaber, Dom Dwyer and Krisztian Nemeth. With the win—the team’s 300th in all competitions and ninth straight at home across all competitions, setting a new club record—Sporting KC moves on to host Real Salt Lake at Sporting Park on Aug. 12. Sporting KC is now set to make their fourth all-time appearance in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals (2002, 2004, 2012, 2015). With the goal on Tuesday, Dwyer now has five goals in U.S. Open Cup competition, tied for the most in club history along with Davy Arnaud, C.J. Sapong and Igor Simutenkov.

VERMES CLIMBING THE RANKS Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes is one win shy of tying Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in club history. Vermes has 85 regular season wins and 107 victories in all competitions since becoming head coach in August 2009. Both totals are one behind Gansler, who coached the team from 1999-2006. Vermes is ninth all-time (sixth among active coaches) on the regular season wins chart. He earned his 100th career coaching win in all competitions on May 29 as Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 4-0. He has a 107-71-56 record since taking over in August 2009 and is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and coach (2013) with the same team.

HOT AT HOME A 3-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday in the U.S. Open Cup marked the team’s ninth consecutive home win since the beginning of May, setting a new club record. Tuesday’s result saw Sporting KC top the eight-game winning run made in 2004 when Bob Gansler’s side won the U.S. Open Cup in September and advanced to MLS Cup in November.

MELIA STEPPING UP Longtime backup goalkeeper Tim Melia earned his first start for Sporting KC on May 3, notching his first career league win and shutout. The sixth-year veteran hasn’t looked back since. Boasting a 10-1-2 record in all competitions, Melia leads MLS in goals against average (0.60) and ranks third in save percentage (0.77). His strong start in goal is arguably one of the most impressive in league history, as he became the first MLS goalkeeper all-time to post six shutouts in his first nine starts for a new club following Sporting KC’s 1-0 win at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 12. The sixth-year veteran was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).

Benny Feilhaber opened the scoring in the fourth minute and earned the game-winning assist on Dom Dwyer’s goal 30 minutes later to move Sporting KC into a tie for third place in the Western Conference. Sporting KC has now won four straight in the series with Montreal, with Dwyer scoring seven goals against the Canadian club during that stretch.

FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON Just past the halfway point of the MLS season, Benny Feilhaber has set careerhighs with six goals and 10 assists. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI on July 13. Following a one-goal outing in Sporting KC’s 3-1 Open Cup win over the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday, Feilhaber moved to seven goals and 14 assists in all competitions this year. With almost half the season still to play, he is on pace to shatter Preki’s single-season assist record in all competitions for the club (18 in 2003).

ZUSI AND THE U.S. MNT COMPETING AT THE GOLD CUP The 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup will conclude this weekend with the third place match (3 p.m. CT on Saturday on FOX Sports 2) and championship (6:30 p.m. CT on Sunday on FOX Sports 1) in Philadelphia. The match-ups will be set following a semifinal doubleheader at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Wednesday. Sporting KC midfielder Graham Zusi has made two appearances for the U.S. Men’s National Team during the tournament and will be available for selection by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann this week along with Real Salt Lake’s Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando.

BESLER, FEILHABER AND ZUSI NAMED TO MLS ALL-STAR GAMEDAY ROSTER Major League Soccer announced the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star gameday roster on Saturday featuring Sporting KC’s Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi on the 22-player squad. The MLS All-Stars will face English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur at 8 p.m. CT on Wednesday, July 29 live on FOX Sports 1 and UniMas from Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. Besler and Zusi each earn MLS All-Star honors for the fourth time, including Zusi’s distinction as the only field player to be an MLS All-Star each of the last four seasons. Feilhaber is a first-time MLS All-Star during a career-year in which he ranks second in MLS with 10 assists while also contributing six goals.

TOUGH TO BEAT Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their three MLS losses are two fewer than any other team and the second-fewest through 18 games in team history. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 11-2-5 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 24, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 31 road matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, most in the league, including eight away wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). SKC is the only MLS team with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 31-30-20 mark away from home.

PALMER-BROWN HEADED TO HOMEGROWN GAME Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown was named to the MLS Homegrown Team on Monday to face the Club America U-20’s during the 2015 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game. Palmer-Brown started and played the full 90 minutes in last year’s inaugural event in a scoreless draw against the Portland Timbers U-23’s. Palmer-Brown, 18, has appeared in eight matches for Sporting KC across all competitions—including the team’s 2015 season opener and a 1-1 draw at D.C. United in May—since signing as a Homegrown Player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in an MLS match in club history. Last month, Palmer-Brown represented the United States at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. He is one of three Sporting KC Academy products on Sporting KC’s roster along with goalkeeper Jon Kempin and defender Kevin Ellis.
