SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs REAL SALT LAKE LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; KMYU 2.2) August 3, 2011 (WEEK 21; MLS Game 201) Sporting Kansas City put their club-record unbeaten streak and undefeated record at Livestrong Sporting Park on the line when they play host to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday evening. Sporting extended their run to 13 games without loss with yet another dramatic draw, coming back for a last-gasp 1-1 tie with the New England Revolution last weekend. Real Salt Lake are coming off a rare defeat at Rio Tinto Stadium, falling 2-0 to the Columbus Crew last weekend. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

The road teams won both meetings in 2009. Coaches record: Peter Vermes v RSL: P3 W0 L2 D1 … Jason Kreis vs. KC: P8 W3 L3 D2 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City once again provided some late heroics to extend their unbeaten streak to a club-record 13 games, grabbing a late 1-1 draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 27 points from 21 matches on the season, tied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH Rajko Lekic opened the scoring in the 38th minute for New England. Defender Daneil Cyrus misjudged a long clearance from Matt Reis, whiffing on the header and allowing the ball to bounce behind, and Lekic was first to it, curling his shot past SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with the outside of his boot. The Revolution went down a man in the 82nd minute when A.J. Soares was sent off after taking down C.J. Sapong as the last man. In the game's final minute, Sporting once again provided some late heroics. A loose ball bounced off bodies and fell right to Teal Bunbury at the left corner of the six-yard box -- and Bunbury lashed it home inside the far post for the leveler. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that strolled to a 4-2 victory against Toronto FC at Livestrong Sporting Park. Daneil Cyrus came into the back four for the injured Aurelien Collin, and Graham Zusi started up top in place of Omar Bravo.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
TEAM NEWS Sporting Kansas City set a club record with their 13th game without loss, surpassing the mark of 12 games set during the MLS Cup-winning season of 2000. “We continue to climb the ladder. Philadelphia lost last [weekend], and now we get another point,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “If you look back where we were and where we are, it’s a big difference. We’re in the hunt right now. We’re going to keep going after it.” For the third time in four games, Sporting scored a goal in the 89th minute or later to snatch a late draw, after Omar Bravo scored deep in stoppage time in the 1-1 draw with Chivas USA on July 9, and Aurelien Collin scored in the 90th minute for a 1-1 draw July 16 vs. Houston. “It’s not a good habit to get into to go down a goal early. Honestly, it’s been an issue with us for a while now,” said defender Matt Besler. “We need to come out, realize we’re at home, and we need to take it to the opposing team, especially in the first half. We need to let them know it’s going to be a long game for them, so we can control the flow of the game.” For Bunbury, his goal came on a night when 10,000 fans receive his likeness in a bobblehead. It was his fourth league goal of the season, but his first since scoring three goals in back-to-back games March 26 vs. Chicago and April 2 (two) vs. Vancouver. “At times when you’re a player and you get out of form a bit, it’s all about how you work. He’s worked every day, he works very hard,” said Vermes. “Putting him in the game at a moment like this when we needed to score, it’s not only great for him, it’s important for us to get the tie. For him to get the goal, with so much perseverance and work ethic, he deserved it and it was great for us. Sporting are still unbeaten in league play in their new Livestrong Sporting Park home, with a 3-0-4 mark in MLS games. They are one of two teams still unbeaten at home in league play, along with the LA Galaxy (6-0-5). Daneil Cyrus made his first MLS start in place of Aurelien Collin, who will be sidelined 6 weeks after suffered a non-displaced fracture of his spine. REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake saw their unbeaten run come to a crashing halt at seven games, falling to a 2-0 defeat against the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL sits in fifth place in the Western Conference, with 33 points from 19 matches. LAST MATCH The Crew took the lead after just five minutes. Robbie Rogers skipped through a pair of RSL defenders on the left and sent a centering pass to a wide-open Eddie Gaven, who easily slotted the ball past diving goalkeeper Nick Rimando. Then five minutes, Columbus doubled its lead. Rogers again played provider, lifting a cross from the left flank to forward Tommy Heinemann, who headed home inside the right-hand post. RSL coach Jason Kreis made two changes to the side that rolled to a 4-0 victory against a 10-man San Jose Earthquakes at Rio Tinto Stadium. Chris Schuler and Chris Wingert came into the back four for the injured Jamison Olave and Tony Beltran, and Jean Alexandre came in up top for the suspended Alvaro Saborio. REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Robbie Russell (Arturo Alvarez 61), Chris Schuler, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Ned Grabavoy, Kyle Beckerman, Will Johnson - Andy Williams (Collen Warner 61) - Jean Alexandre (Luis Gil 70), Fabian Espindola. TEAM NEWS The loss to Columbus was just the third for RSL all-time in regular season play at Rio Tinto Stadium. The first loss came to Kansas City in 2009, then there have been losses to Seattle and Columbus this season. It was also just the second loss in all competitions by more than one goal in Sandy for RSL, after their first-ever loss in the stadium came to Kansas City, a 2-0 defeat in 2009. “To me it just came down to mental lapses. You’re down two goals to a team that’s very good defensively and works hard together and, I think, was going to come in to this game and try and put a lot of numbers behind the ball,” Kreis said. “It’s difficult to break them down.” With Jamison Olave injured in the MLS All-Star Game and unavailable, the Real back line was also forced into another change with Tony Beltran injured during training. “I would love to have played with the same back four as we did last week, but with Olave’s injury and Tony Beltran’s slight injury we just couldn’t do that,” Kreis said. “But for me it wasn’t the back four, it was the entire defensive effort, and the entire focus and mentality in the first part of the game.” Real were also forced into another late change when Alvaro Saborio was suspended Friday by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Saborio had scored four goals over the previous four matches; his running partner Fabian Espíndola was kept off the scoresheet for a second consecutive game. “We know that Fabian is a very emotional player. I thought he was trying to make a difference for us every time he got the ball tonight He was going at players, trying to get behind them and trying to make the final pass or make the goal, but it wasn’t coming off for him, as it wasn’t for the other players,” Kreis said.

RSL HITS ROAD FOR FIRST TIME IN 43 DAYS: Due to the July 16 postponement in Vancouver, RSL plays a League game away from home for the first time since Wed., June 22 at Chicago, a 0-0 draw 43 days ago … However, RSL did drop a road game in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, losing 0-2 at Dallas in the Quarterfinal round … RSL seeks to rebound from Saturday’s 0-2 home loss to Columbus, which won for its first time ever at Rio Tinto Stadium in five tries in MLS/CCL/playoff competition, its first win on Utah soil since 2006 … The Crew scored twice in the first 10 minutes as MF Robbie Rogers set up Eddie Gaven (5’) and Tommy Heinemann (10’) to solidify its standing atop the Eastern Conference … Saturday’s 0-2 loss marked the third home loss of 2011, on the heels of a 37-game unbeaten run at Rio Tinto Stadium between June 6, 2009 and April 27 of this year in the CCL Final to Monterrey … The last MLS team to win at Rio Tinto Stadium prior to Seattle (May 28) and Columbus (Saturday): Wednesday’s foe, Kansas City, back on May 16, 2009 … Wednesday’s inaugural trip to LIVESTRONG Sporting Park kicks off at 6:30 p.m. MT, with the match televised live on KMYU 2.2 / Comcast 22 / Dish 12 or via the MLS Direct Kick package … Fans can also follow over the air on RSL’s official radio partners – ESPN 700 Sports Radio and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM / Juan 106.1 FM …

ROAD OPTIMISM: Despite the late collapse at Columbus and the difficult start at Philadelphia in early June, Real Salt Lake – once the worst road team in the history of MLS – has earned points in 15 of its last 18 road games dating back to May, 2010 … The road forays have been low-scoring, as RSL has outscored opponents 14-12 goals in that span – while Jason Kreis’ team has dropped just six of its last 28 overall if you include CONCACAF and MLS Cup Playoff road matches (and one loss, April 5 at Saprissa, still clinched the series for RSL) … This recent advent of road success places the squad’s all-time regular season road mark at 16-57-26 (.260; 89 GF / 164 GA) heading into th the 100 road contest in League Wednesday at Kansas City … Since Kreis took over, RSL’s MLS road mark is 12-33-21, with the four road wins in 2010 doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … Seven games down (2-23, 10 pts), 10 to go in 2011 … Starting with Wednesday’s game at Kansas City, and factoring in the new Oct. 6 date north of the border, the Claret-and-Cobalt will play 10 of its final 15 regular season contests – and 5 of the last 7 – away from the friendly confines of Rio Tinto Stadium …

TRAVEL
TRAVAILS: Major League Soccer announced last week that the previously postponed contest between Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps FC has been rescheduled for Thurs., Oct. 6 … Kickoff for the rescheduled affair is set for 7:30 p.m. MT and will take place at the soon-to-be new home of Whitecaps FC, the renovated BC Place in downtown Vancouver … The match, originally scheduled for July 16, was postponed after heavy rains made the temporary grass field installed at Whitecaps FC’s current home of Empire Field unplayable … Real Salt Lake’s rescheduled VAN date will result in more miles logged during a back half of the MLS season laden with away fixtures … Real Salt Lake’s 2-2-3 away mark thus far makes the Utah side one of just five across the 18team league with at least a .500 record on the road in 2011 …
STREAK STOPPED AT SEVEN: Real Salt Lake’s 0-2
loss to Columbus Saturday halted the team’s unbeaten run at seven MLS games, marking the club’s thirdlongest stretch without a loss in team history … The only longer streaks each originated last year, when singleseason runs of 10 and 14 games for Jason Kreis’ team without a loss, the latter extended to 18 with its hot regular-season start this year:

SABORIO RETURNS FROM SUSPENSION: RSL
FW Álvaro Saborío returns to Jason Kreis’ availability Wednesday after serving a one-game suspension on 7/30 v CLB and being assessed a $1,000 fine by the MLS Disciplinary Committee … Saborio – who has 5 goals in his last 4 games for RSL – was adjudicated to have dived on 7/23 v SJ, leading to a PK goal and a red card to the Earthquakes DF Bobby Burling … RSL went on to win that match 4-0, with a Saborio brace leading the charge …
YELLOW-CARD PERIL STILL A CONCERN: Now is the time of the season when yellow-card caution accumulation is added to injuries and national team duty as reasons to force lineup shuffling, with MF Will Johnson becoming the first player of the RSL campaign to earn the league’s “Good Behavior” incentive back on 7/23 v SJ, reducing his total to 3 cautions … With his caution-free game Saturday vs. Columbus, Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman now needs to go two consecutive MLS contests to earn a similar reduction … DF Chris Wingert, DF Robbie Russell and M/F Jean Alexandre are each TWO cautions away from suspension …
THREE-GAME WEEKS CONTINUE: Real Salt Lake kicked off another three-game MLS week with the 0-2 home loss to Columbus, the fourth time this season the team will play three games in 8 days or fewer … In the Jason Kreis era, RSL has played 3 games in a week a total of 18 times (in all competitions), registering a 22-1617 record … As indicated in RED below, RSL is 1-4-4 when hitting the road in the middle of a 3-game week, the lone victory coming earlier this year at NE … The list: 2011: 4/5 @ SAP (1-2 L); 4/9 @ NE (2-0 W); 4/13 v COL (1-0 W) 6/4 v VAN (2-0 W); 6/8 @ CLB (1-2 L); 6/11 @ PHI (1-1 T) 6/18 v DC (1-1 T); 6/22 @ CHI (1-1 T); 6/25 v TOR 7/4 v NE (3-3 T); 7/9 v DAL (2-0 W); 7/12 @ DAL (0-2 L) 7/30 v CLB (0-2 L); 8/3 @ KC; 8/6 v NY

DOMINANT DEFENSE SELF-DESTRUCTS: Despite the shock of the 0-2 loss suffered Saturday at home to Columbus, RSL’s vaunted rearguard has still allowed only 14 goals through 19 games, including the concession of one goal or fewer in 14 of 19 MLS contests … The team boasts allowing a league-low 0.74 GAA and 14 goals allowed thus far, including three on PKs … Last year, RSL allowed just 20 goals in the 30-game regular season, setting a new standard in MLS annals and breaking the 2007 Houston Dynamo record of 23 GA … rd Rimando recorded his 83 career shutout on July 23 vs SJ, 47 of which have now come in the RSL Claret-andCobalt … Rimando has nine of RSL’s 10 MLS clean sheets in 2011 (Reynish, April 9 @ NE), trailing Dallas’ total of 12 (Kevin Hartman) … Rimando also had two shutouts in CONCACAF play earlier this year at Columbus and v Saprissa, while Reynish tallied a clean sheet in the 2011 Open Cup debut against Wilmington on June 28 …
RIMANDO CLEAN AGAIN: The July 23 shutout
against San Jose was RSL’s 10th in league play this season and Nick Rimando’s ninth of 2011, with the last clean-sheet coming on July 9 in a statement 2-0 win over visiting Dallas … Rimando trails only his opposite number from Dallas, Kevin Hartman (11), for the league lead in shutouts … The clean sheet also marked the first time Dallas has failed to score since the club hosted RSL back on May 22, when the two sides played to a scoreless draw … Rimando (83) and Hartman (103) are also 1-2 on the League’s career shutout list … In addition, Rimando ranks nd among MLS’ best this season with a 0.71 GAA (2 ), a rd th 409-minute shutout streak (3 ), 8 wins (T-4 ) and a 73.7 th save percentage (6 ) …

FABIAN A FORCE: FW Fabian Espíndola’s stoppage
time goal on July 9 against FC Dallas pushed his teamhigh goal total in MLS play to six … The red-hot Argentine striker has now scored in back-to-back MLS games and found the back of the net five times in his last seven league appearances … After tacking on goals in RSL’s pair of early July contests – a late equalizer in the 33 draw with New England (July 4) and the added-time insurance tally in a 2-0 win vs. FC Dallas (July 9), Espíndola has equaled his career season-high total of six goals in just 14 contests, nearly halving the 22 games it took to accomplish the same total last season …
KYLE HELPING OUT:
Captain Kyle Beckerman notched his team-high fifth assist of the season last time out on July 23, his setup of Arturo Alvarez’ cross to Jamison Olave putting the final touch on the dominating 40 win over San Jose … The assist broke a tie with MF Collen Warner in the category for the season lead and was Beckerman’s fourth helper in as many games, following up on his pair of assists in RSL’s 3-1 win over TOR on June 25 and the assist on July 9 v DAL … The five assists are the most for Beckerman in a singleseason since joining RSL midway through 2007, tied for his career-high in the category (5 w/ COL in 2003) … Beckerman’s 13 assists with RSL place him alongside Robbie Findley for #3 all-time …
RSL ADDS AGORSOR: Real Salt Lake announced Thursday the signing of FW Chris Agorsor (A-GOR-sor) to the Utah side … Agorsor was available for selection for RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis when Real Salt Lake played host to the San Jose Earthquakes last week … Agorsor has been training with Real Salt Lake for the majority of the last month, this after the highly-touted striker was waived by the Philadelphia Union in early June … The 20-year-old native of suburban Baltimore (Severn, MD) has been under the American soccer community’s microscope since his high school days, when his standout play for the Baltimore Bays and McDonogh School led to him earning such distinctive accolades as the Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year, National Soccer Coaches Association of America Player of the Year and U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-17/18 Player of the Year honors …
ARNOUX A GO, TOO: Real Salt Lake will get more added depth up front for the second half of the season, as FW Cody Arnoux was also available for selection for the first time in 2011 for Saturday’s contest against San Jose … The 23-year-old Arnoux has been a part of the Real Salt Lake camp since it won his MLS rights in a special player lottery back in February, but a lengthy rehab stint to come back from a knee injury suffered last November while training with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency squad and another non-related knee injury suffered last month has resulted in the former Wake Forest standout and Everton FC Reserves performer missing the first half of RSL’s 2011 campaign.

SEEING RED, BUT TO LITTLE ADVANTAGE: Back on May 7, Real Salt Lake saw an opponent hit with multiple red cards for the third time in the team’s now 202-game MLS regular-season history, with the 65minute span with at least a one-man advantage the longest in club annals …
For an incredible amount of 49 minutes, RSL enjoyed a TWO-MAN advantage over Chivas USA, playing 11-v9 in deadlocked fashion prior to Will Johnson’s th victory-clinching goal in the 87 minute … On only one nd prior occasion – Oct. 18, 2008, in the 2 -ever game at Rio Tinto Stadium – had RSL enjoyed a 2-man advantage over its opponent, but that was just for stoppage time of the team’s 3-1 victory over FC Dallas, a game known primarily for Johnson’s 2008 MLS Goal of the Year blast … th
Following last week’s Bobby Burling ejection in the 60 minute v SJ, RSL opponents have now been subject to ejection on 26 occasions, giving the Claret-and-Cobalt a total of 454 minutes with a man-advantage … During those minutes, RSL has now seen a +13 goal difference, thanks to the 4-goal outburst last week …
OTHER RED CARD MISCELLANY:
In its history, RSL has never played with just nine men due to disciplinary issues, and has now scored SEVEN shorthanded goals (Jason Kreis, 7/4/05 v. NY; Chris Klein & Kreis, 9/16/06 v. DAL; a Chris Leitch own-goal on 7/3/09 v. SJ; Nelson Gonzalez late goal on 5/28/11 v. SEA; and the Johnson/Saborio goals Monday) … All-time, RSL now has been victim of 30 red cards, succumbing to a -9 goal difference in a total of 632 minutes playing a man down … Incredibly, SIX of those nine goals came in one game, the 0-6 loss @NY in August th 2006 when DF Jack Stewart was tossed in the 8 minute …
MAYDAY, MAYDAY: 12-MONTH RUN OF SUCCESS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS: Despite the pair of difficult 0-1 losses vs. Monterrey and at Portland in the final week of April, Real Salt Lake performed exceptionally in the 45 games played between May 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, losing only six times in that stretch, the rough equivalent of a season-and-a-half … Across MLS regular season, MLS Cup Playoff and CONCACAF Champions League games, Jason Kreis’ team posted an impressive mark of 26-6-13 and outscored opponents 75-33 since May 1, 2010 … RSL would have earned 91 points in this stretch … The MLS equivalents: (reg.-season games only) TEAM Los Angeles Galaxy D.C.

Prior to last April 30 at Portland, the lone MLS losses both came on the road at Dallas on July 17 and Oct. 30, sandwiched around the bizarre 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul … The fourth loss was the 1-2 decision at Saprissa which enabled RSL to advance to the CCL Final … RSL then dropped the 0-1 home game to Monterrey to snap the 37-game “all-competition” Rio Tinto Stadium streak …
TWO-GOAL COMEBACKS: Real Salt Lake emerged with a point on July 4 for the sixth time in club history after spotting the opposition a two-goal lead … Four of the six 2-goal comebacks have occurred at home, with three of the four happening as precursors to the Independence Day or Pioneer Day fireworks shows … This week’s NE comeback was the second to occur on July 4, as former captain Jason Kreis tallied a 90’ PK v NY to salvage a 2-2 draw … In last year’s regular-season finale at rival Colorado, Saborio scored twice in second-half stoppage time to retain the Rocky Mountain Cup for holders RSL … The only win of the six came against Dallas … In 2009, RSL stormed back from a 0-2 deficit at halftime to visiting Dallas on Pioneer Day to score four in an incredible second half, which saw GK Nick Rimando stone a Jeff nd Cunningham PK and Yura Movsisyan notch a 2 -half brace … The list: 7/4/2005 v NY: T 2-2 RSL: Trembly (78) Kreis (90); MET: Razov (44) Magee (48) 10/8/2005 @ SJ: T 2-2 RSL: Novak (64) Williams (73); SJ: De Rosario (38) Nash (44) 05/05/2007 v NY: T 3-3 RSL: Klein (61) Cunningham (90) C.

LATE DRAMA PART OF RSL DNA: MF Will
Johnson’s 87’ game-winning goal vs. Chivas way back on th May 7 marked the 16 all-time go-ahead scored by RSL in the final 15 minutes of a regular-season MLS or CCL game … Two of the three RSL goals scored prior to that – Espindola’s 93+ game-winner v COL and Morales’ late equalizer at Monterrey – also meet the dramatic criteria … All-time lists for equalizers and GWG (active players in bold): RSL EQUALIZERS AFTER 75’ (18 total) 95+ ...................

MORALES A MARKED MAN IN MLS: Argentine playmaker Javier Morales has played 116 games for RSL (93 MLS regular-season, 8 playoff, 3 Open Cup, 12 CCL) … During that time, he has been the most-fouled player in the League (reg. season only), an indicator of the target on his back by opposing defenses … The list (from 8/29/07 to 5/7/11): Player Javier Morales - RSL Alejandro Moreno - CLB Eddie Gaven - CLB Robbie Rogers - CLB Guillermo Barros Schelotto - CLB
FS 211 199 189 172 163
ALL-TIME RESULTS, WITHOUT JAVIER: Since the
talismanic Argentine Javier Morales’ arrival on the Wasatch Front, RSL has played 39 MLS regularseason/playoff, CCL or Open Cup games without its playmaker, posting a 16-12-14 overall mark … Head Coach Jason Kreis’ team has gone 12-10-12 in MLS reg. season play, 0-0-1 Playoff, 3-0-0 in CONCACAF and 1-2-1 in Open Cup sans Javi … Since the beginning of the 2009 season, that record is 14-9-11, including a surprising ability to score 2+ goals in 16 of those 34 games without Javier … The breakdown: DATE 09/19/2007 09/22/2007 09/29/2007 10/06/2007 10/15/2007 10/20/2007

HOW DOES RSL GET BACK IN TO CCL?: RSL probably won’t play another international side – exhibition or otherwise – until the 2012/13 CONCACAF tourney, which it could only qualify for by winning the 2011 MLS Supporters Shield crown or be a MLS Cup 2011 participant … RSL saw its other opportunity fall by the wayside this week after falling out of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup via a quarterfinal defeat at FC Dallas … Had RSL defeated Dallas in last year’s MLS Cup Playoff series, or even had Los Angeles advanced in place of Dallas to MLS Cup – RSL would have qualified for this year’s CONCACAF Champions League due to LA essentially owning “dual” slots (Supp. Shield / Cup participant) and RSL finishing #2 in last year’s overall MLS table …
RSL’S INTERNATIONAL HISTORY: With the late April 0-1 loss to Monterrey in the 2010/11 CONCACAF Final, RSL is now 12-7-6 all-time in international contests, with a positive goal differential (43 goals for / 33 goals against) … In meaningful int’l competition, RSL is now 6-3-3 (26 GF / 17 GA) … In the Jason Kreis era, RSL falls to 8-3-2 vs. visiting international squads (does NOT include Toronto FC league matches; however, DOES include CCL games vs Columbus) …

KREIS CONTRACT EXTENDED THRU 2013: On March 24, RSL President Bill Manning and GM Garth Lagerwey announced that the club has extended by two years the contract of current Head Coach Jason Kreis, keeping the youngest MLS Cup-winning manager in League history on the RSL sideline through the completion of the 2013 season … All-time, Kreis now owns a 54-4437 mark in MLS regular-season, playoff and CONCACAF Champions League play … Under Kreis’ leadership, RSL became the first-ever MLS team (and one of just three non-Mexican teams) to win a CONCACAF group, posting a 4-1-1 mark and becoming the first-ever MLS side to advance CCL Final … The former striker’s 2010 side was also the second-highestscoring team in CONCACAF’s group stage, with 17 goals in six games (2.83 goals/game) … During MLS play in 2010, the following numbers established by RSL set or tied new single-season league standards: · · · · ·
fewest goals allowed (20) overall goal differential (+25) total home points (37) fewest home losses (0) fewest home goals allowed (7)
In addition to those league benchmarks, last year’s edition set franchise-high records in · wins (15) · goals (45) · scoring output (1.50/game) · points (56) · shutouts (15) · road points (19) · road goal differential (+1)

FORTRESS STARTING TO CRACK?: With RSL’s 12 loss at home May 28 against Seattle, the team saw its MLS home unbeaten streak perish at 29 games … Just a month earlier on April 27, the 0-1 CCL loss to Monterrey (MEX) last week snapped the club’s overall home unbeaten run at 37 games across MLS, CCL and exhibition play … While those two losses in a one-month span dropped RSL to 5-1-0 at home in CONCACAF play, the team remains 24-2-11 in MLS regular season, 1-0-1 playoffs and 2-0-1 in international exhibitions … The aggregate scoreline in those games?: 92-28 … Form Guide: the 34-3-13 (all competitions) mark from June 6, 2009 – present: (CCL=red; Playoff = blue; friendly = green; Open Cup = underline): 2009: T W T W W W T W T T W W W 2010: T W W W W W W T W T W W W W W W T W W T 2011: W W W W L W T L W T W W T W W L
RMC TIES: The June 6, 2009 Fox Soccer Channel telecast went to multiple commercial breaks during Elder Gonzalez’ lengthy “consecration” of the field, much to the disdain of current Rapids’ coach Gary Smith … RSL’s alltime home mark PRIOR to Elder Gonzalez' "consecration" – just 25-21-19 … AFTER Elder Gonzalez' June 6, 2009 prayer at Rio Tinto Stadium – now 34 wins, 3 losses, 13 ties … Real Salt Lake Year-by-Year Home Results (Regular Season) 2005: 5-8-3 (.406) 18 pts. 19 GF / 24 GA (-5 GD) 2006: 6-4-6 (.563) 24 pts. 23 GF / 19 GA (+4 GD) 2007: 4-7-4 (.400) 16 pts. 18 GF / 22 GA (-4 GD) 2008: 8-1-6 (.733) 30 pts. 24 GF / 10 GA (+14 GD) 2009: 9-1-5 (.750) 32 pts. 34 GF / 11 GA (+23 GD) 2010: 11-0-4 (.867) 37 pts. 31 GF / 7 GA (+24 GD) 2011: 7-2-3 (.708) 24 pts. 22 GF / 10 GA (+12 GD) CAREER: 50-23-31 (.624) 171 GF / 103 GA (+68 GD)
Including the recent 29-game MLS unbeaten streak at Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL has dropped just 6 of its last 67 home games (42-6-19) across MLS regular season / playoff and CONCACAF / Open Cup play dating back to the start of 2008 … Prior to that, RSL was 15-19-13 on Utah soil in MLS competition, with a -5 goal differential (60 GF / 65 GA) from 2005-07 … nd The 2010 RSL side was just the 2 MLS team to remain unbeaten at home in an entire season, joining the 2005 SJ Earthquakes (9-0-7) … Since June ‘09, RSL is 20-0-8 at home in regular-season play, the longest such run in League history:

BREAKING DOWN THE STREAK: In the two years without losing a home MLS game between May 16, 2009 and May 28, 2011, here’s the 29-game MLS / Rio Tinto Stadium unbeaten streak for RSL (reg. season only), by the numbers: 17 – RSL shutouts by GK Nick Rimando 16 – number of RSL players to score at home 13 – crowds of 18,000+ or more at Rio Tinto Stadium 12 – opposing players to each score once during streak nd 11 – total 2 half comebacks for RSL to salvage tie/win 9 – goals by FW Robbie Findley, tops among scorers 9 – goals by FW Álvaro Saborío, all coming in 2010 7 – wins at home during the streak following road losses 7 – number of one-goal wins (including five 1-0 wins) 5 – largest margin of victory (see below) 4 – number of 3-0 wins, the most common result 4 – come-from-behind ties 3 – scoreless draws 2 – number of times opponent scored 2 or more goals 2 – Wins against 2010 Supp. Shield winner LA Biggest Win (margin): 7/2/10 v NE – 5-0 Biggest Win (meaning): 10/24/09 v COL – RSL wins 3-0 on final day of season to force postseason tiebreakers and eliminate rd Colorado from playoffs for 3 consecutive season, qualifying for Playoffs and eventually winning MLS Cup and paving way to CCL participation; Biggest Crowd: 3/26/11 v LA – a RioT record of 20,507 saw RSL score twice in first 10 minutes en route to a 3-0 halftime lead and an eventual 4-1 win over David Beckham and the L.A. Galaxy, despite the FIFA date and a Jazz home game; Loudest Crowd: 4/10/10 v SEA – 19,970 were on hand as newcomer Álvaro Saborío headed home a Nelson Gonzalez nd corner kick three minutes into 2 half stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw in RSL’s 2010 home opener, a match that included a pre-game banner raising and ring ceremony to commemorate the teams’ MLS Cup 2009 win; Cutting it close: 7/3/09 v SJ – stoppage time OG by Earthquakes’ Chris Leitch gives RSL a 1-1 tie; 4/13/11 v COL – 93’ goal by Fabian Espindola gives RSL 1-0 win Best Comeback: 7/24/09 v DAL – Four second-half goals erase 0-2 halftime deficit; GK Nick Rimando saves Cunningham PK, Kreis ejected; Outscored opponents 59-13, with 16 different scorers: (Findley 9, Saborío 9, Morales 7, Espindola 6, Movsisyan 5, Olave 4, Grabavoy 4, Williams 3, Beckerman 2, Johnson 2, Russell, Campos, Gonzalez, Borchers, Mathis, Paulo Jr.; Own Goals – 2)
