REAL SALT LAKE vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RIO TINTO STADIUM, Sandy, Utah 7 p.m. MT (KSMO)

September 17, 2011 (WEEK 27; MLS Game 260)

Two teams looking to continue their marches up the table meet at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday evening when Real Salt Lake play host to Sporting Kansas City. Real are now just a point out of the top three in the Western Conference and the automatic playoff spots after their 2-1 win at Seattle last weekend. Sporting briefly pulled into a tie atop the Eastern Conference after their 3-0 win against Houston, concluding a nine-game homestand. REFEREE: Ricardo Salazar.

Roger Espinoza stole a pass at the top of the box and burst into the area before driving a left-footed rocket just under the sprawling Nick Rimando in the RSL goal.  Just five minutes later, SKC was up 2-0. Rimando made an impressive diving save on a Kei Kamara header from a long throw, but could only push it wide of the goalmouth, and Alex Bunbury swooped in to hammer the rebound off Rimando's hand and to the back of the net.  Kansas City went down a man in the 56th minute after Espinoza was sent off for a tackle from behind on Kyle Beckerman, but the visitors could not take advantage.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Michael Harrington, Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Roger Espinoza (sent off 57), Jeferson (Birahim Diop 79) - Kei Kamara (C.J. Sapong 74), Omar Bravo (Luke Sassano 94+), Graham Zusi - Teal Bunbury.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran (Robbie Russell 68), Chris Schuler, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Arturo Alvarez (Andy Williams 59) - Collen Warner (Luis Gil 65) - Fabian Espindola, Alvaro Saborio. REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake extended their winning streak to three games, defeating Seattle Sounders FC 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. RSL is in fourth place in the Western Conference, with 45 points from 26 matches. LAST MATCH  Real Salt Lake were handed a stunning lead after 13 minutes. RSL’s Fabián Espíndola sent in a seemingly harmless cross from the left, but Keller all but through it into his goal while looking to put it over the line for a corner.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sounders FC had a chance to pull level in the 16th minute, but Mauro Rosales put his penalty kick wide after striker Mike Fucito was taken down in the box by RSL defender Jámison Olave.  Both teams then went a man down in the space of four minutes. RSL’s Tony Beltran received a second yellow card for a challenge against Rosales in the 35th minute, but Seattle's Jhon Kennedy Hurtado saw a straight red in the 39th minute after a foul on Alvaro Saborío.  Yet the home side were able to hit for the equalizer in first-half stoppage time. Rosales turned the corner on the left and sent a return pass back across for Fredy Montero, who converted from close range.  But after the break RSL again took the lead. Alvaro Saborio took a pass in the area, and after his first attempt was blocked and Sounders FC defender Tyson Wahl failed to clear, he again latched onto the ball and sent it to the back of the net.  RSL coach Jason Kreis made three changes to the side that defeated Philadelphia Union 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Nat Borchers returned from suspension for Chris Schuler, Will Johnson came back from international duty for Collen Warner, and Alvaro Saborio came in up top for Paulo Junior.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Robbie Russell, Jamison Olave, Nat Borchers, Tony Beltran (sent off 35) - Andy Williams, Kyle Beckerman, Will Johnson - Luis Gil (Chris Schuler 46) - Fabian Espindola (Paulo Jr. 79), Alvaro Saborio (Ned Grabavoy 68). TEAM NEWS  After losing back-to-back games twice in a five-game span, Real Salt Lake have now won three games in a row, their longest league winning streak since winning the first four games of the 2011 MLS season.  "It is true, going through this season this team started to get rattled but lately they have stayed very resilient, disciplined and together,” said RSL head coach Jason Kreis. “I'm proud and happy we had learned through all of this and hopefully we are a better team."  After not figuring for Real Salt Lake against Philadelphia – available on the bench after playing 90 minutes for Costa Rica the night before – Alvaro Saborio returned to the RSL lineup and regained the club scoring lead with his eighth goal.  With Tony Beltran sent off, Chris Schuler came in as a halftime substitute and returned to central defense, coming on for Luis Gil. Schuler had started six of the previous seven games, first with Jamison Olave injured (five games) then Nat Borchers suspended.  The own goal was the first credited to a goalkeeper this season, and the eighth in league history.  "It was a strange goal. At first I thought it went towards the side of the goal. I really don't know what happened. Saborio was trying to cross it but it just ended up in the back of the net,” said Kreis.  While still outside the three automatic qualifying spots in the Western Conference, Real are 10 points behind MLS overall leaders LA Galaxy with eight games to play (and two games in hand).  After the visit by Sporting KC, Real have five of their six games away from Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL has a league-leading nine wins in home games this season; it is 4-5-3 on its travels.  “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves,” said RSL defender Nat Borchers. “We have a lot of tough games down the road.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City concluded their long homestand in impressive fashion, rolling to a 3-0 win Saturday against the Houston Dynamo at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 40 points from 28 matches on the season, now in second first place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH  Sporting opened the scoring after just nine minutes. Graham Zusi sent a long ball from his own half up the center channel, and a streaking Teal Bunbury raced past a Dynamo defender and poked it past a charging Tally Hall guarding the goal.  SKC then doubled their lead in the 73rd minute through similar circumstances. Júlio César sent a brilliant, driven ball that split the Houston defense and Bunbury again raced onto the end of it, sending a left-footed finish that Hall got a hand on but couldn’t keep out.  The Dynamo went down a man when Carlo Costly was sent off by referee Mark Geiger for a clattering tackle on Chance Myers in the 64th minute.  The Sky Blues then tripled the lead six minutes later. Graham Zusi played Kei Kamara into space on the right flank, and he slid a ball across the top of the six-yard box where C.J. Sapong came sliding in to put the ball into the back of the net.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that came back for a 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy at Livestrong Sporting Park. Teal Bunbury came back into the team, in place of Aurelien Collin.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers (Michael Harrington 78), Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza - Jeferson (Davy Arnaud 57) - C.J. Sapong, Teal Bunbury (Kei Kamara 74), Omar Bravo.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  It will be the first road game for Sporting since July 16, when they tied Houston 1-1 at Robertson Stadium.  “We have been home for the last two months and now having to go play Salt Lake on the road is going to be a change for us. We’re all over the place, we were away from home the whole time and now we’ve been home for a while,” said manager Peter Vermes. “I think just the rhythm of going on the road is going to be one thing for us. Real Salt Lake is a very good team and they’re even better at home.”  They went 5-2-2 on their MLS-record nine-game homestand, moving from a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference, into a tie for the top spot in the division at the end of the weekend.  “I don’t think we’ve achieved anything yet. Nothing’s over, we’ve got a long way to go still. We as a group; players, coaching staff, support staff, front office, ownership, everyone has belief that we are going to move forward and that we are getting back,” said Vermes.  KC’s Teal Bunbury scored three goals in the first three games of the season – then went more than three months without a league goal. He now has four goals in the last eight games after his second two-goal game of the season vs. Houston.  “I don’t think we’ve seen his best yet. Teal is continuing to grow and develop as a player. I think the one thing that he brought in today’s game was when he is as physical as he was and finds himself teetering on that last line,” said Vermes. “He puts a lot of fear in a lot of teams. He is very direct and can go to goal and really has breakaway speed. And when he gets around the goal, I think he can be deadly.”  Said Bunbury: “They were great balls in and I was just trying to be aware and make more runs. I knew if I’m one-on-one with a guy it’s my job to try to get behind and get on the ball and try to finish. As a striker I always say, ‘It’s your duty to score goals’ and I feel like I did that but it’s all credit to the guys playing brilliant balls into me and I was fortunate enough to get some goals.”  It was a third defensive shutout in the last seven games for Sporting, but it also came after allowing five goals in the previous two games.  “The shutout is huge for us. We talk about being hard to score against, and tonight I can’t remember (Houston) having a real clear chance and that says loads for our defense. They really stepped it up tonight and it puts a statement out there to the league and it puts a lot of pressure on Columbus to perform,” said Graham Zusi.  Said goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen: The shutout is great, but it’s not the most important thing for me. Winning the game is the objective, so having a shutout is great. The guys did an incredible job today to make my job very, very easy … When I don't have anything to do it means the team is doing well and that’s most important.”  After a change for the LA game with Aurelien Collin returning to the back four and Chance Myers moving farther up the park in a wide position, Vermes reverted to what’s become his first-choice defensive line.  “Not only has Seth (Sinovic) been very good, Chance Myers has been very good and when Collin went out with his back injury I think Julio has been stellar,” Vermes said. “Most people don’t know the places that he’s played. Real Madrid, AC Milan. That experience in the high level games that he’s played has really come out in these games that he has stepped back there. I can’t say enough about all the guys that come in.”

RIO TINTO RESPITE: Real Salt Lake returns home Saturday seeking to extend an active three-game win streak that has vaulted Jason Kreis’ side into striking distance of West leaders LA, Seattle and Dallas …

The penultimate month of the regular season sees Jason Kreis’ team make up all games in hand over West leaders LA, Seattle & Dallas … All four teams will be even on games played entering RSL’s Oct. 1 visit to Los Angeles … Last week in Seattle, RSL won a critical “six-point” match with the Sounders, riding an early gaffe by Sounders GK Kasey Keller and a stellar left-footed finish by Alvaro Saborio to overcome a first-half red card to DF Tony Beltran and a missed PK opportunity by Seattle en route to a 2-1 win over the Sounders … After Saturday, five of RSL’s next six matches are on the road (@ NY, @ DC, @LA, @VAN & @COL), with only two regular season home games remaining (9/28 v CHI and 10/22 v POR) … Saturday’s match at Rio Tinto Stadium kicks off at 7:00 p.m. MT, with the match televised live via the MLS Direct Kick Package … Fans can also follow over the air on RSL’s official radio partners, with 99.1 FM carrying the ESPN 700 feed and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM / Juan 106.1 FM …

RSL INJURY REPORT (as of 9/14/11) OUT: MF Nelson González (R foot fracture), MF Javier Morales (L ankle fracture dislocation), DF Chris Wingert (L wrist fracture), GK Kyle Reynish (R ankle sprain) DOUBTFUL: QUESTIONABLE: FW Chris Agorsor (R hand fracture), PROBABLE: DF Robbie Russell (back spasms), FW Álvaro Saborío (R knee effusion)

SABORIO SPECIAL FOR RSL STRIKE FORCE:

RSL’s predatory striker Álvaro Saborío moved into the th team’s 2011 scoring lead with his 8 goal of the year last week at Seattle, surpassing by one this year’s MLS output nd for partner Fabian Espíndola … The early 2 -half gameth winner was the 9 GWG for Saborio in his 43 MLS games st over the last two seasons – placing him in a 1 place tie with Robbie Findley’s 9 game-winners in 96 career MLS th games – and the 20 MLS goal overall for the Costa Rican international … “Sabo” was also RSL’s leading scorer during the historic CONCACAF Champions League run, scoring 8 goals in 11 games … When Saborío – the first DP in RSL’s seven-season history – finds the back of the net, Jason Kreis’ team is a dominating 18-1-4 in all competitions (only loss was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul), compared to the 10-1213 mark when he plays and does not score, as well as RSL’s 7-3-4 record when Sabo is unavailable due to injury or national team duty …

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 TIRELESS BECKERMAN – DARK HORSE MVP?:

RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman was the hero of the Sept. rd 3 home victory over Philadelphia, scoring the eventual MLS Goal of the Week with a 18’ blast from 25 yards out and serving up a corner kick to DF Chris Schuler in the 26’ to give RSL a 2-0 lead in the eventual 2-1 win … The goal-and-assist performance by Beckerman was the second for the RSL captain in 2011 and his fourth multipoint effort of the campaign in MLS play … The 29-yearold midfielder upped his team-leading assist total to eight – good for a fourth-place tie in the League, and a career high … The fifth game-winning assist now places him alone in second place in the league this season, behind only that other “Becks,” LA Galaxy midfielder, David Beckham … KB5’s career total of nine gamewinning assists leads RSL all-time, two ahead of MF Javier Morales (7) …

RSL RESPONSIBLE FOR SURGING SHAKEUP: Last week’s victory moved RSL into fourth place in the Western Conference, Real Salt Lake (45 points) now within one point of third-place FC Dallas (46 pts.) and one game of second-place Seattle Sounders FC (48 pts.), with the Utah side holding two games in hand on both squads … RSL is now four points above Rocky Mountain Cup rival, the Colorado Rapids, but holds three games in hand on the defending MLS Cup Champs … nd

Based on points-per-match, RSL currently projects to 2 in MLS with a 1.73 PPM average, trailing only LA (1.96) … With RSL’s two games in hand on LA and the head-tohead matchup on Oct. 1, Jason Kreis’ team controls its destiny in the 2011 MLS Supporters Shield race … Last year, only an LA win over Dallas on the final day gave the Galaxy the Shield …

“BOR-LAVE”

PAIRING

NEARLY

INVINCIBLE:

That week’s heroics were made possible in part by U.S. Men’s National Team Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who allowed Beckerman to miss the Sept. 2 friendly vs Costa Rica and travel after the RSL match for the Sept. 6 international friendly in Belgium, a game that saw Beckerman play the final 45 minutes of the 0-1 loss, connecting on 29 of 33 passes and stabilizing the U.S. defense …

When 2010 Best XI defenders Nat Borchers and Jamison Olave start together and play 60+ minutes, Real Salt Lake has posted a 6-0-5 mark this season, allowing only 5 goals in those 11 games …

In mid-August, Beckerman started and played 90 “exceptional” minutes in the United States’ 1-1 friendly draw with Mexico in Philadelphia, earning that praise from Klinsmann … Beckerman – one of three RSL All-Stars this season – now has 14 caps and one goal in his U.S. career …

Olave – the 2010 MLS Defender of the Year and an MLS All-Star this season – has missed one game due to the red card on May 28 in the home loss to Seattle, two road games on turf that followed CONCACAF games 72 hours earlier and five games due to the knee injury suffered in the MLS All-Star Game in late July against Manchester United …

The recent National Team duty gave the 12-year MLS veteran Beckerman a total of 11 games in 5 weeks from July 23 – Sept. 6, playing a full 90 minutes in eight RSL games plus one USMNT contest, along with the final 45 minutes in the MLS All-Stars’ loss to Manchester United on July 27 and the final 45 at Belgium … The RSL Captain has started and played a full 90 minutes in 30 of RSL’s 34 games this year (24 out of 26 MLS games, along with 5 of 6 CCL matches and the Open Cup Quarterfinal at Dallas) … Out of the 34 games in all competitions, Beckerman has sat out only the CCL Final v. Monterrey (suspended due to yellow cards) and the Open Cup contest v. Wilmington Hammerheads … National soccer scribes Steve Davis (SI.com) and Grant Wahl (SI.com) have each mentioned Beckerman as a dark horse candidate in the 2011 MLS MVP race for his tireless efforts to assume RSL’s playmaking mantle in place of the injured Javier Morales … Others often mentioned include Dallas MF Brek Shea, Seattle MF Mauro Rosales and Los Angeles talisman Landon Donovan …

When injury, suspension or red cards limit the duo’s time together and cause one or both to miss action, RSL is only 7-7-1 with 17 goals conceded …

Borchers was ejected for the third time this season on August 27 at Chivas, denying Nick LaBrocca an “obvious rd goal-scoring opportunity” … Nat was also tossed in the 3 minute of the wild 3-3 draw on July 4 at home vs. NE, and saw one red in CCL play on Feb. 22 at Columbus, when he and Emilio Renteria got tangled and both were ejected in the 72’ … Borchers has missed only 10 of RSL’s 150 matches across all competitions from 2008-present, with the four absences this year surpassing his three combined during the 2009 & 10 seasons …

NO LONGER WINLESS IN SEATTLE: Real Salt Lake’s bizarre 2-1 win was its first-ever defeat of the Sounders in Seattle, improving to 1-1-1 mark there in League play, and also dropping a 1-4 US Open Cup match to the Sounders early on in 2009 … Later that year, RSL returned to Seattle and emerged victorious in MLS Cup 2009 against Los Angeles, coming back from an 0-1 deficit and winning a dramatic PK shootout after 120 minutes …

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 NEW BLOOD JOINING RSL … : At the death of Thursday’s MLS roster freeze, RSL GM Garth Lagerwey announced the addition of two players to the team’s roster … Joining RSL on loan from USL PRO Champion Orlando City FC, MF Yordany Alvarez will wear #16 for the Claretand-Cobalt … Now 26 years old and recently named the MVP of the Division 2 USL PRO league, Alvarez is a Cuban-born asylee who defected to the United States during the Olympic qualifying tourney in 2008 … The holding midfielder played at Rio Tinto Stadium in March of 2009 with the Austin Aztex, his side in 2010 as well, prior to the organization’s move to Orlando last winter … Also signing with RSL is the franchise’s second-ever Home Grown addition, 18-year old MF Nico Muñiz … The Albuquerque native is the first to make the voyage directly from the RSL-Arizona Academy system … The 18-yearold midfielder was a key part of the RSL-AZ U-18 side’s successful inaugural campaign in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, playing in 26 of the team’s 28 contests (11 goals) during the regular season and helping the side to a 15-8-5 mark and eventual #2 wild-card seeding for the USSDA’s playoffs … Muñiz started in all three of the RSL-AZ U-18s’ postseason contests at Pizza Hut Park, where the squad won its first two pool play matches before bowing out on the cusp of qualifying for the “Finals Week” championships in Milwaukee …

… WHILE OLD BLOOD RETURNS TO HEALTH:

Stalwart MF Ned Grabavoy has played 17 and 22 minutes each of the last two weeks after missing all of August, while FW Cody Arnoux was one of two RSL players to make his team debut two weeks ago at home vs. PHI, joining DF Blake Wagner … Arnoux has missed most of 2011 due to his recovery from a serious knee injury suffered last November while with Vancouver, while Wagner signed with RSL on August 15 after DF Chris Wingert – who has started nearly every game since 2008 – broke his wrist that weekend at Toronto … Another midseason pickup – FW Chris Agorsor – returned to training this week after breaking his right hand in a reserve game at Houston on August 21 … MF Javier Morales has the Oct. 1 match at Los Angeles circled for his return from the gruesome May 7 ankle injury, but the RSL MVP has been elevated to “non-neutral” status in this week’s trainings, will travel with the team to NY and DC next week and could see action during RSL’s next home game, Sept. 28 vs. Chicago …

“YOUNG-UN” GIL STEPPING UP AS WELL: When RSL acquired 16-year old MF Luis Gil in Feb. 2010 from Kansas City, few would have imagined 18 months later that the Garden Grove, Calif., native would have played in 15 consecutive games, starting 11 out of 12, and replacing the void left by Javier Morales at attacking Mid for six critical games in August / September … Gil has two goals on the season in nearly 1000 minutes of play, with the budding 17-year-old playmaker opening his MLS account in RSL’s 3-0 win over New York on August 6 at Rio Tinto Stadium, and scoring the go-ahead goal midway through the second half at Houston on August 20 …

DISAPPOINTED IN THE PACE?: Despite the 2-3-0 August record and the disappointment of home losses to Seattle and Columbus, as well as the lineup carousel due to injury and national team duties, Real Salt Lake’s total of 45 points through 26 games is only three points behind last year’s club-record pace, yet 11 points ahead of where the team was at this point in 2009, when it won MLS Cup … Totals after 25, 26 and 27 games in the Kreis era: YEAR 2011 2010 2009 2008

DEPTH CONTINUALLY TESTED: While RSL Nation was elated to see FW Paulo Junior return to action for the final 9 minutes @ TOR for first time since mid-April (a span of 17 MLS games, and 20 games in all competitions), several regular starters have missed significant time due to long-term injuries … The good news is that talisman MF Javier Morales – the man who has made the RSL attack click since 2008 – returned to training two weeks ago with a “non-contact” decree by Jason Kreis and the doctors … Morales has missed 23 games and counting, as he targets an Oct. 1 return from the broken ankle suffered back on May 7 … This year’s time lost due to injury, suspension or int’l duty: PLAYER

The total number of games lost due to injury or national team duty this season? … More than 100 games worth by RSL’s top contributors … Almost 1/2 of those games missed have been by Morales and Paulo Junior, with RSL posting a 6-5-6 MLS mark in games missed completely by the dynamic duo …

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 DOMINANT DEFENSE NEEDS SOME SUPPORT: Despite the shock of the August 0-2 losses suffered v CLB and @ KC, RSL’s vaunted rearguard has still allowed only 22 goals through 26 games, including the concession of one goal or fewer in 18 of 26 MLS contests … The team boasts allowing a league-low 0.88 GAA and 22 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 …

ROAD

WARRIORS’

MIXED

BAG:

Despite late collapses at Houston and Columbus, Real Salt Lake – once the worst road team in the history of MLS – has earned points in 20 of its last 31 road games dating back to May, 2010 in MLS, CCL and Open Cup play … This recent advent of road success places the squad’s alltime regular season road mark at 18-60-26 (.298; 94 GF th / 171 GA) following the 104 road contest in League play last week at Seattle … Since Kreis took over, RSL’s MLS road mark is 14-36-21, with the four road wins in 2010 doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … 12 games down (4-5-3, 16 pts), 5 to go in 2011 … Starting with Aug. 13 at Toronto, and factoring in the new Oct. 6 date north of the border, the Claret-and-Cobalt play 9 of its final 13 regular season contests – and 5 of the last 7 – away from the friendly confines of Rio Tinto Stadium …

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):

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 49 MLS regularseason/playoff, CCL or Open Cup games without its playmaker, posting a 20-15-14 overall mark (only 6-11-5 away from home) … Head Coach Jason Kreis’ team has gone 15-13-12 in MLS reg. season play, 0-0-1 Playoff, 3-00 in CONCACAF and 1-2-1 in Open Cup sans Javi … Since the beginning of the 2009 season, that record is 1612-11, including the ability to score 2+ goals in only 19 of those 39 games without Javier … The breakdown: DATE 09/19/2007 09/22/2007 09/29/2007 10/06/2007 10/15/2007 10/20/2007

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 SEEING RED, BUT TO LITTLE ADVANTAGE: After

seeing just one red card for the bulk of 2010 (only a bench red to Espindola in a CONCACAF match in Panama), RSL has seen eight players ejected in its last 36 games, dating back to the Javier Morales ejection at Dallas in last year’s playoffs … nd

DF Tony Beltran saw red early 2 half in RSL’s first game of the year at Columbus in the Feb. 22 CONCACAF Quarterfinal, and again last week in Seattle … In between, DF Nat Borchers has seen 3 red cards, Jamison Olave one and MF Will Johnson one … Back on May 7, in RSL’s 1-0 home win over CD Chivas USA, RSL saw an opponent hit with multiple red cards for the third time in the team’s now 210-game MLS regular-season history, with the 65-minute 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 … Following the August 3 ejection of KC MF Roger Espinoza th in the 57 minute v KC, RSL opponents have now been subject to ejection on 28 occasions, giving the Claretand-Cobalt a total of 487 minutes with a manadvantage … During those minutes, RSL has now seen a +13 goal difference, thanks to the 4-goal outburst on July 23 vs SJ … All-time, RSL now has been victim of 32 red cards, succumbing to a -9 goal difference in a total of 702 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 … 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 on July 4 v NE) …

LINEUP SHUFFLE STOPPED IN TORONTO … : For the first time in more than a year, Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis rolled out the same starting XI on Aug. 13 at Toronto as he had the previous week – in the th team’s 30 game in all competitions this season … Injuries, cards, suspensions, national team duty and fixture congestion had all conspired to prevent a duplicate lineup in back-to-back matches, something that had not happened since July 31/Aug. 7, 2010 – a span of 48 MLS, CCL and Open Cup games …

… BUT PICKING UP AGAIN: However, Kreis’

carousel continues, as DF Chris Wingert (left wrist fracture) and MF Will Johnson (yellow-card accumulation) missed the game in Houston … With the Borchers red card suspension and the national team duty for several guys, the carousel spinned hard again last time out at home v PHI … The return of Sabo, Johnson and Olave last week @ SEA provides a return to normalcy, yet Tony Beltran’s red card requires more tinkering by Coach Kreis this week v KC …

BECKERMAN STILL ON WARNING: With his trio of

caution-free games in early August, Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman has earned a “Good Behavior” reduction to his caution total … However, with his yellow card foul on Chivas villain Marco Mondaini August 27, Beckerman returns to “yellow-card peril” and will be forced to sit out a game after his next caution … The Captain has been caution-free in 2-1 RSL wins v PHI and @ SEA the last two weeks … DF Robbie Russell is also on the precipice of having to sit out one game after his next yellow, but can go two games without booking to earn the “Good Behavior” incentive … Three RSL players – FW Fabian Espíndola, DF Chris Wingert and M/F Jean Alexandre – are each TWO cautions away from suspension …

KANSAS CITY FIRST TO WIN AT RIOT: Back in May of 2009, the former Kansas City Wizards became the first team to come to RSL’s new Stadium and win a regular-season match, riding a pair of Josh Wolff goals to win 2-0 … All-Time, KC holds a 6-4-3 advantage over RSL, outscoring the team from the Wasatch 20-18 … In Utah, however, RSL holds a 3-2-1 mark and an 11-9 goal difference … Last May, RSL defeated KC 4-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium, getting goals from Fabian Espindola, Alvaro Saborio, Robbie Russell and Ned Grabavoy … Since that time, the teams tied 1-1 in KC last year, prior to RSL dropping an 0-2 decision in its inaugural visit to LiveStrong Sporting Park last month …

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 FORTRESS STILL STANDING STRONG: Despite

dropping three home games in the last five months, Rio Tinto Stadium and Utah soil remains a “Fortress” for Jason Kreis’ team, as RSL has dropped just 6 of its last 68 home games (43-6-19) 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: TEAM # START STOP --------------------------------------------------Real Salt Lake 29 06/06/2009 05/28/2011 Columbus Crew 22 06/28/2008 09/26/2009 San Jose 18 09/25/2004 10/08/2005 Three teams tied with 17

With RSL’s 0-2 loss at home July 30 against Columbus, the team saw its once-impenetrable home breached for the third occasion in 2011, including the 1-2 loss on May 28 against Seattle – which snapped its MLS home unbeaten streak at 29 games – and the CCL Final loss on April 27 to Monterrey (MEX) snapped the club’s overall home unbeaten run at 37 games across MLS, CCL and exhibition play … Since June 6, 2009, RSL is 5-1-0 at home in CONCACAF play, 26-2-11 in MLS regular season, 1-0-1 playoffs and 2-0-1 in international exhibitions … The aggregate scoreline in those games?: 97-29 … Form Guide: the 36-3-13 (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 W W

BREAKING DOWN THE STREAK: In the two years

without losing a home MLS game between May 16, 2009 (Kansas City) and May 28, 2011 (Seattle), here’s the 29game 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)

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 STREAK STOPPED AT SEVEN: Real Salt Lake’s 0-2 loss to Columbus on July 30 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: TEAM Real Real Real Real Real Real Real Real

Prior to 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 …

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 55-4437 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) …

MILESTONES ACHIEVED DURING KREIS ERA: 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)

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.

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 RSL “BRACING” FOR SUCCESS: With FW Alvaro Saborio’s two-goal ‘brace’ on July 23 v SJ, RSL has now seen 20 of its 30 all-time multi-goal performances occur at home in its 210-game MLS regular-season game, 12game CCL and 12-game Open Cup histories … The multith goal game was Saborio’s 7 cross all competitions, ahead of Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales’ tie with Robbie Findley with four “braces,” while Yura Movsisyan and Jason Kreis each had 2, ahead of Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and Fabian Espíndola, who have each also scored 2 or more times in a game … When an RSL player scores 2 or more goals in a game, the team has posted a 21-3-4 alltime mark … Besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL play and the 4-6 loss at Minnesota in Open Cup action, when was the lone MLS loss? … June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown’s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 loss: G Player 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 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) … REAL SALT LAKE ALL-TIME INT’L RESULTS (12-7-6 – 43 GF / 33 GA) Date June 8, 2005 August 24, 2005 July 19, 2006 August 12, 2006 April 18, 2007 June 7, 2007 July 21, 2007 July 24, 2007 July 9, 2008 July 23, 2008 Sept. 3, 2008 July 11, 2009 Oct. 7, 2009 June 19, 2010 August 18, 2010 August 25, 2010 Sept. 15, 2010 Sept. 22, 2010 Sept. 28, 2010 Oct. 19, 2010 Feb. 22, 2011 March 1, 2011 March 15, 2011 April 5, 2011 April 20, 2011 April 27, 2011

DIXON THE LATEST – & FIRST IN AWHILE: During Real Salt Lake’s early years, it seemed like fans’ hearts were routinely broken by an opposing goal from a player few had ever heard of … Between 2005-07, the club’s turmoil-filled early years, 20 different players scored their first-ever MLS goal against the hapless Claret-and-Cobalt … In the Kreis era, as the team matured, that trend slowed to a trickle – only three players in 2008-09 found the back of the net for the first time vs. RSL … Earlier this year, Seattle’s Lamar Neagle became the first player in two years to bury his first career tally against RSL , with his bending 84’ blast that proved to be the game winner … Two weeks later, Philadelphia midfielder Keon Daniel struck with his initial MLS goal … That feat was repeated Aug. 20 in Houston, as homegrown player Alex Dixon opened his MLS account with a stoppage-time dagger for the Dynamo to send RSL to a crushing defeat … Dixon is now one of the 12 to have scored their lone career MLS goal (as of Aug. 28, 2011, indicated by an *) … The list: DATE 05/28/2005 05/28/2005 06/04/2005 06/22/2005 09/21/2005 10/08/2005 10/12/2005 04/08/2006 05/06/2006 05/27/2006 06/03/2006 07/08/2006 08/19/2006 10/07/2006 10/15/2006 04/21/2007 05/05/2007 07/04/2007 08/18/2007 08/18/2007 04/19/2008 09/06/2008 05/02/2009 05/28/2011 06/11/2011 08/20/2011

WHEN LAST THEY MET... Sporting Kansas City defeated Real Salt Lake 2-0 on August 3rd, 2011 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza scored the game-winner in the 29th minute with his first goal since the 2008 season and striker Teal Bunbury struck again for Sporting five minutes later in the victory. Sporting Kansas City was reduced to 10 men when Espinoza received a red card in the 57th minute, but Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen made three saves for the shutout win, which stretched the club’s unbeaten run to 14 games. It marked the longest such streak in club history and is tied for the third longest in MLS history.
