SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs REAL SALT LAKE December 7, 2013
SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 3 p.m. CT (ESPN / TeleFutura / TSN / RDS)
THE MATCHUP A pair of clubs looking for the second Major League Soccer championship in their histories meet in MLS Cup 2013 when Sporting Kansas City play host to Real Salt Lake. Sporting have reached the MLS Cup Final for a third time, winning MLS Cup 2000, a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. They were losing finalists in MLS Cup 2004, falling 3-2 to D.C. United at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Real Salt Lake have reached MLS Cup for a second time, winning in their only previous appearance, defeating the LA Galaxy in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw in MLS Cup 2009 at Qwest Field in Seattle, Wash. The teams met just once during the regular season, on July 20 at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. RSL’s Robbie Findley (56) and SKC’s Soony Saad (67) traded goals early in the second half, the Sporting equalizer coming seconds after Real’s Chris Wingert was sent off. Seven minutes into stoppage time, Sporting’s Ike Opara headed home the game-winner on a corner kick to give his club a 2-1 victory. In two appearances all-time at Sporting Park, Real Salt Lake have yet to score a goal. Sporting win 2-0 on Aug. 3, 2011 in their first meeting in the stadium; SKC took a 1-0 win in their last meeting in Kansas City. April 14, 2012. Sporting will be the second team to host MLS Cup by virtue of having the best regular-season record of the two finalists. A year ago, the LA Galaxy become the fourth team to play MLS Cup on their home ground, the first to do it twice, winning both MLS Cup 2011 and MLS Cup 2012, each time against the Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center. The Galaxy were also involved in a third match – winning MLS Cup 2002 on a golden goal in a 1-0 win against the New England Revolution before a crowd of 61,216 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., the largest crowd to see the MLS championship game. In 1997, D.C. United defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-1 before a sellout crowd of 57,431 at RFK Memorial Stadium. Sporting have won the last two meetings between the clubs. Their victory in Sandy this year was the first by a road team in the series since 2009, when the teams split their two regular season meetings, each winning on the other’s home ground. Sporting Kansas City posted the best defensive record in Major League Soccer in 2013, allowing just 30 goals in 34 league matches (0.88 per game). It’s the second consecutive season SKC has led the league with the fewest goals allowed; the last team to win MLS Cup after recording the best defensive mark in the league in the regular season was the 2011 LA Galaxy. Real Salt Lake scored 57 goals in 2013, the second-best attacking record in the regular season, just one goal less than the New York Red Bulls. When RSL won MLS Cup 2009, they were tied for the league lead that season with 43 goals scored.
TODAY’S REFEREES Hilario Grajeda of Dayton, Ohio will be the MLS Cup referee for the first time. Named the 2013 MLS Referee of the Year, Grajeda has been an MLS referee since 2004. Grajeda was the referee for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game; he was the fourth official for MLS Cup 2012. For his 23 league matches in 2013, Grajeda whistled an average of 23.2 fouls per game, fourth-lowest in the league (among 23 referees, the league average was 24.8). He also gave out 2.7 yellows per game (league average was 3.11), and awarded 4 red cards and 3 penalty kicks. The assistant referees are Paul Scott and Bill Dittmar. It is the first appearance for each in MLS Cup; they were the two assistants for the MLS All-Star Game. The fourth official is Ismail Elfath.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
THE COACHES Jason Kreis became the fourth former MLS player to also win an MLS Cup as coach, guiding Real Salt Lake to their MLS Cup 2009 title. The first was Frank Yallop (Tampa Bay 1996-98); he won two MLS Cups in charge of the San Jose Earthquakes (2001, 2003). Peter Nowak (Chicago 1998-2002) led D.C. United to victory in MLS Cup 2004, and Dominic Kinnear (Colorado 1996; San Jose 1997; Tampa Bay 1998-2000) guided the Houston Dynamo to back-to-back Cup victories in 2006 and 2007. Kreis scored 108 goals, still fifth-most all-time in MLS history, in a 12-year career with Dallas (1996-2004) and Real Salt Lake (2005-07). Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes is looking to be the second person to win MLS Cup both as a player and a head coach. Vermes was a member of the Kansas City Wizards who won MLS Cup 2000, playing the full match in central defense in the 1-0 win vs. the Chicago Fire at RFK Stadium. Vermes also played the entire match in MLS Cup ’97 for the Colorado Rapids, a 2-1 loss to D.C. United, also at RFK Stadium. Vermes made 184 league appearances in a seven-year MLS career with the MetroStars (1996), Colorado (1997-99) and Kansas City (2000-02). This is the first time two former MLS players have been the head coaches in MLS Cup. It will also be the first time a former player will be on the losing end at MLS Cup – every former player has won previously.
THE TEAMS Sporting Kansas City has gone eight seasons since their last MLS Cup appearance. The longest for any club making a return trip to the MLS title game was the Colorado Rapids, ending a 12-season drought with MLS Cup 2010. The Chicago Fire have the second-longest streak, at 10 years following the 2013 season; D.C. United have gone nine seasons and the San Jose Earthquakes eight seasons since their last trip to the final. Real Salt Lake are just the second expansion team (created from an expansion draft) to reach the MLS Cup Final. The Chicago Fire played in the first of their three MLS Cups – their only victory – in their inaugural season of 1998 (a 2-0 win vs. D.C. United). Chicago also played in 2000 (a 1-0 loss to Kansas City) and 2003 (a 4-2 loss to San Jose). Miami Fusion FC, formed the same year as the Fire, did not reach the MLS Cup Final in their four-year existence. Chivas USA (formed in 2005, along with Real Salt Lake), Toronto FC (2007), San Jose Earthquakes (2008), Seattle Sounders FC (2009), Philadelphia Union (2010), Portland Timbers (2011), Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2011) and Montréal Impact (2012) all have yet to play in the MLS championship game. Seven current members of Real Salt Lake were in the squad for MLS Cup 2009, and six were in the first XI that day. Nick Rimando started between the posts, Nat Borchers and Chris Wingert started in the back four, Robbie Findley started in attack and Kyle Beckerman and Javier Morales were in the midfield, though Morales’ day ended after just 22 minutes because of injury. Tony Beltran was an unused substitute. Just one member of the Sporting Kansas City squad has played in an MLS Cup Final. Paulo Nagamura played the entirety of MLS Cup 2005 with the LA Galaxy, a 1-0 win against New England at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. Seven players started all four matches in the MLS Cup Playoffs for Sporting Kansas City heading into MLS Cup: Jimmy Nielsen, Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin, Chance Myers, Oriol Rosell, Seth Sinovic and Graham Zusi. Of those, all but Rosell has started all nine of the team's playoff matches in the last three seasons. During this year’s playoffs, 14 different players started matches for SKC. Seven players started all four matches in the MLS Cup Playoffs for Real Salt Lake heading into MLS Cup: defenders Tony Beltran, Nat Borchers and Chris Schuler, midfielders Kyle Beckerman, Luis Gil and Javier Morales, and goalkeeper Nick Rimando. During this year’s playoffs, 15 different players started matches for RSL. Sporting KC’s Dom Dwyer scored the game-winning goal in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Championship vs. Houston, his first career goal in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Over the 2013 season, Dwyer scored 26 goals for two different clubs in six competitions: MLS regular season (2), MLS Cup Playoffs (1) and CONCACAF Champions League (1) for Sporting KC, and in USL Pro regular season (15), USL Pro playoffs (4) and U.S. Open Cup (3), while on loan to Orlando City SC.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
C.J. Sapong scored his second career goal in the MLS Cup Playoffs, netting the opener in the East final second leg win against Houston. Sporting have never been on the losing side when Sapong hits the back of the net, now 17-0-2 in all competitions over three seasons when he scores. RSL’s Robbie Findley has scored goals in back-to-back games in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second time in his career, after netting in each leg of the Western Conference Championship. The last time Findley scored in consecutive postseason games was when he scored in each leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. Columbus in Real’s MLS Cup-winning season of 2009. Findley is RSL’s all-time leading postseason scorer with 6 goals in 13 matches. Findley became the fifth player to score goals in consecutive playoff matches, the second for RSL, along with center back Chris Schuler. Also netting in back-to-back games were Aurelien Collin [KC], Omar Cummings [HOU] and Will Johnson [POR]; no player has yet scored in three games in this year’s playoffs. Sporting come into MLS Cup with a key performer looking to return to fitness after midfielder Lawrence Olum suffered a fractured fibula in the East semifinals. Peterson Joseph will not be available for MLS Cup, after suffering a blackout during training before the playoffs. Defender Josh Gardner is listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain, while Paulo Nagamura was suffering from a left ankle strain but played in the Western Conference Championship second leg. Real Salt Lake are hoping to have forward Alvaro Saborio available for MLS Cup, after he missed both legs of the Western Conference Championship with a right hip flexor strain suffered late in the second match vs. the LA Galaxy. Chris Wingert missed the first leg of the West final with a fractured rib and pneumothorax suffered in the first leg against Portland. Defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe and goalkeeper Josh Saunders are both out for the season following knee surgery; defender Rich Balchan is doubtful after shoulder surgery. Both teams will be wearing their primary home uniforms, continuing a trend from their previous MLS Cup appearances. Real Salt Lake will be in their all-claret first strip, which they also wore in 2009. KC will be in their Sporting Blue (all light blue) uniforms; they wore their all-blue home kit as the Kansas City Wizards in both 2000 and 2004. For the first time in MLS Cup history, two teams outside the Top 10 media markets in the country (per designated market area) will be contesting the league's championship match. Kansas City is ranked No. 31 and Salt Lake City is No. 33.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
MLS CUP GAMEDAY NOTES Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has already won a championship this year – leading Orlando City SC to a 7-4 victory against Charlotte, while on loan, in the USL PRO title game on Sept. 7. Dwyer scored 4 goals in the title game – after setting the league’s single-season scoring record with 15 goals in 13 matches. Dwyer has scored 26 goals this season across six competitions: the USL PRO regular season, USL PRO title game, U.S. Open Cup, CONCACAF Champions League, MLS and the MLS Cup Playoffs. Dwyer scored his first career goal in the MLS Cup Playoffs, his 63rd-minute strike in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Championship sending SKC through to MLS Cup 2013. Dwyer has started two of the four postseason games for Sporting. “I had to come back to KC and finish this season off right. So it was nice to see all of them happy, and there was a big buzz around here two weekends ago when we beat Houston. It was really nice, and I'm looking forward to more of that feeling. … It was good to have that opportunity in that first game, in the final in Orlando. It's nice to get another one. Obviously, this is a bigger stage now. I'm really looking forward to it.” Real Salt Lake are one of three teams to have won away in this year’s MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting KC did not win either of their road matches – falling at New England and drawing in Houston. “Those games when we go into Seattle, we go into Portland, we go into LA with these massive crowds and they all hate us – we really enjoy it,” RSL defender Nat Borchers said. “We just enjoy the atmosphere and enjoy kind of the challenge that it takes to get a result and quiet the fans.” The Sporting Kansas City midfield has been unchanged for the last three matches in the MLS Cup Playoffs, with Oriol Rosell, Paulo Nagamura and Benny Feilhaber providing the drive from the center of the park. Feilhaber had recorded 2 assists, setting up the game-winners in the second legs of both playoff series. “Uri's a little bit more of a connector,” Vermes said, “where Benny can push the game by just getting it right away and going, he can give the final pass, he can keep the ball for possession. So he has the ability to change the rhythm of the game.” Added Feilhaber: “I think that's big for our team. We have guys that can definitely take advantage of the space out on the wings. If we can drive at them a little bit in the middle, it makes them come narrow. Then once they come narrow, everything on the outside is available again. I think we've got to use both the inside and the outside, depending on what they give us.” Another player who has previously won a championship is SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, who won the Danish Superliga with Aalborg BK in 1999 – at age 21. "I don't think I appreciated that [first] championship as much as I apparently should," he said. "It's like I said before, I thought that would be one out of many, and 15 years later I still have only that one championship. So it would be huge for the team. It would be huge for the organization, and it would be huge for me personally." While Real Salt Lake started its final buildup to MLS Cup 2013 expecting to have the services of striker Álvaro Saborío, Chris Wingert still faced a fight to regain fitness after suffering a fractured rib and pneumothorax in the first leg of the West final against Portland on Nov. 10. “I think the biggest concern for Chris will be pain tolerance and then protecting that rib,” RSL head coach Jason Kreis said. “He's handling the pain tolerance extremely well, and we leave it to our trainers and doctors to do a good job of padding up that rib.” Said Wingert: “You only get a few times in your life to play in a championship game. But the guys have been playing awesome without me. And I want to win as much as everybody else. So if that means that somebody else should be playing, so be it.” The two MLS Cup finalists had the two largest percentages of possession in Major League Soccer this season, with Real Salt Lake leading the league with 56.5%, and Sporting KC just behind with 55.0%. If there is a difference, it's where the teams use that possession. Real Salt Lake lead the league with an average of 2.36 passes in possessions that lead directly to a shot at goal. Sporting Kansas City is eighth in MLS at 1.79 passes per possession leading to an attempt; the league average is 1.70.

REAL SALT LAKE – ON DUTY TODAY 1 Eduardo Fernández (20) Signed as a Homegrown Player in February 2012, Fernández has yet to make his full professional debut for Real. He is a product of the RSL-Arizona academy, and has represented both Mexico (U-17) and the USA (U-20) at youth levels. His father was a longtime professional goalkeeper in Mexico’s Primera División. 2 Tony Beltran (26) A regular starter at right back for five seasons, Beltran saw his career take a major step forward in 2013. He was called into the U.S. squad for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, playing 90 minutes vs. Cuba at Rio Tinto Stadium. Beltran was also selected to the MLS All-Star team for the first time, in the starting lineup for the match vs. Serie A power AS Roma. Beltran was RSL’s first-round selection (No. 3 overall) in the 2008 SuperDraft out of UCLA. 3 Kwame Watson-Siriboe (27) In his fourth MLS season, Watson-Siriboe suffered a knee injury at midseason that ended his year. A second-round selection in the 2010 SuperDraft out of the Univ. of Connecticut by the Chicago Fire, Watson-Siriboe was acquired by RSL midway through the 2012 season.
6 Nat Borchers (32) Borchers returned from an injury that slowed him at the start of the season to be a regular in central defense for RSL. He is in his ninth MLS season, his sixth with Real, having made at least 26 league starts in each season in Utah. Borchers went from being an undrafted preseason invitee after playing at the Univ. of Denver to becoming a full-time starter in his rookie season of 2003 with Colorado. He then moved to Norway in 2006, where he played two seasons with Odd Grenland in the Tippeligaen. 7 Lovel Palmer (29) A Jamaican international now in his fifth MLS season, Real acquired the fullback from Portland before the start of the 2013 campaign. Palmer moved from Harbour View FC in Jamaica to the Houston Dynamo before the 2010 season, dealt to the Portland Timbers midway through 2011.
4 Aaron Maund (23) Maund was a first-round selection (12th overall) in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft out of the Univ. of Notre Dame by Toronto FC, and made 15 league appearances in his rookie season. He was acquired by RSL in a trade before the 2013 season. Maund has represented both Trinidad & Tobago and the USA in FIFA youth competitions.
8 Joao Plata (21) Acquired from Toronto FC during the offseason, Plata scored 4 goals in 19 appearances for Real in his third MLS campaign. After making his professional debut with LDU Quito in Ecuador’s first division in 2010, Plata was selected with the 49th overall pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. With TFC, he scored 3 goals in 29 league appearances over two seasons. An Ecuadoran youth international, Plata made his senior international debut for his homeland in 2011, coming on as a late substitute in a friendly vs. Canada at BMO Field. At just 5-foot-2, Plata is among the shortest men to play professional sports in North American history.
5 Kyle Beckerman (31) Now in his 14th MLS season, Beckerman is the linchpin in the Real midfield. He made his 300th career league appearance in the opening game of 2013 (the 20th player in MLS history to reach the total), a season that also saw regular appearances for the U.S. national team, in both World Cup qualifying and the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Beckerman began his professional career with the Miami Fusion in 2000, moving to Colorado in the dispersal draft before the 2003 season, then acquired by RSL midway through the 2007 season. Beckerman was also selected to the MLS All-Star team for a seventh consecutive season this year.
10 Robbie Findley (28) Findley returned for a second stint with Real Salt Lake for the 2013 season, scoring six goals in 17 league appearances. After playing collegiately at Oregon State Univ., Findley was a second-round SuperDraft selection by the LA Galaxy in 2007, before being dealt to RSL at midseason. He scored 12 goals in 27 league matches for RSL in 2009, tied for third-most in MLS, then was part of the U.S. team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He moved to Nottingham Forest in England’s second tier following the 2010 MLS campaign, spending three seasons there before coming back to MLS this year.
11 Javier Morales (33) Morales returned from offseason knee surgery to reclaim his place as Real’s creative maestro in the midfield, scoring a single-season careerhigh 8 goals, while adding 10 assists (his second-highest total for an MLS season). He was selected as an MLS All-Star for a third time; he was named to the MLS Best XI in 2010. Morales is in his seventh season with RSL, after playing for nearly a decade in his native Argentina, then moving to Spain’s second division for one year. Morales started in Real’s MLS Cup triumph in 2009, but an awkward challenge from David Beckham left his hobbled and forced him from the field in the 22nd minute. 12 Cole Grossman (24) After suffering a concussion in an early-season match, Grossman returned to full availability late in the campaign, his first with RSL. He spent his first two professional seasons with Columbus, where he was a second-round selection in the 2011 SuperDraft, moving to RSL on waivers before the start of this season. 13 Olmes Garcia (21) After scoring seven goals in his first two professional seasons with Deportes Quindio in his native Colombia, García moved to MLS and Real before the start of the 2013 season. A regular performer off the substitutes’ bench, García scored 8 goals in 24 league appearances. 14 Yordany Alvarez (28) The primary understudy in the holding role in the RSL midfield, Alvarez is in his third MLS season. In March 2008, while playing in the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Alvarez and six Cuban teammates defected to the USA. Alvarez made his professional debut with the Austin Aztex of the USL First Division in 2009, playing there two seasons, before joining Orlando City SC of USL PRO in 2011 – where he was named the league’s Most Valuable Player that year. He came to Real on loan for the end of the 2011 MLS season, and made a career-high 18 league appearances, 11 as a starter, this year. 15 Alvaro Saborío (31) A regular in the Costa Rican national team, Saborío scored 12 goals in just 16 league appearances in 2013, tied for seventh-most in MLS. He has scored 10 or more goals in each of his five MLS seasons, scoring a singleseason high of 17 in 2012. After playing professionally for a decade in his native Costa Rica, Switzerland and England, Saborío moved to Real for the 2010 season, winning MLS Newcomer of the Year honors after scoring 18 goals in all competitions, finishing eighth in the league. He was signed as a Designated Player before the 2011 campaign, then finished third in MLS in goalscoring the following season.
16 Carlos Salcedo (20) Another product of the RSL-Arizona academy, Salcedo made his full professional debut this May with the club in central defense. Originally a part of the youth scheme at Tigres UANL in Mexico, Salcedo moved to the USA in 2012 and spent the second half of last year training with the first team. 17 Chris Wingert (31) The longest-tenured of RSL’s out-field players, Wingert rebounded from a fractured right foot during offseason training to resume regular service as the starting left back. After winning the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy in 2003 as the nation’s top collegiate player at St. John’s (N.Y.) Univ., Wingert was selected by the Columbus Crew in the second round of the 2004 SuperDraft. Following two seasons there, he was acquired by Colorado, before moving to RSL in July 2007. Wingert has represented the USA on one occasion, making his senior international debut Jan. 24, 2009 vs. Sweden. 18 Nick Rimando (34) A regular in the U.S. national team setup, Rimando is the only player to have every minute of RSL’s playoff history. With a shutout of San Jose in the season opener, Rimando became just the second player in MLS history to reach 100 career clean sheets. Rimando is in his 14th MLS season, playing for Miami Fusion and D.C. United before coming to RSL for the 2007 season. Rimando is also a twotime MLS Cup winner, first winning in 2004 with D.C. United, then making three saves during the penalty shootout in 2009 vs. the LA Galaxy, winning MLS Cup MVP honors. 19 Enzo Martínez (23) The 17th overall selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, Martínez still has yet to make his full professional debut. A member of Generation adidas, Martínez was a first-team All-American after leading the Univ. of North Carolina to the NCAA College Cup championship in 2011. 20 Ned Grabavoy (30) Ever-present over the final 32 league matches of the 2013 season, Grabavoy set a singleseason career-high in games (32), starts (29), goals (5) and assists (5). A 2004 SuperDraft out of Indiana Univ. by the LA Galaxy, Grabavoy moved to Columbus during the 2006 season, then was acquired by San Jose before the start of the 2007 season. He came to Real for the 2009 campaign, and passed the 200appearance total for his MLS league career this season. Grabavoy can play any position in the RSL’s diamond midfield scheme.
21 Luis Gil (20) Gil was a regular for a third consecutive season in the RSL midfield in 2013, a year that also saw him play for the USA in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey during the summer. Originally signed by the Kansas City Wizards, Gil came to Real in a trade before the 2010 season, but did not make his MLS league debut until the following year. He’s gone from 25 to 29 to 30 league appearances over the three years since, scoring a career-high 5 goals this season, while matching his careerbest with 3 assists.
28 Chris Schuler (26) After again missing a large portion of the season to injury, Schuler returned to his starting position in central defense at the end of the regular season, then scored a pair of crucial goals during the MLS Cup Playoffs. Real’s third-round selection in the 2010 SuperDraft out of Creighton Univ., Schuler became a regular in his second professional season. A stress fracture in his foot limited him to 13 league appearances a year ago, then he was out from May to September with another foot injury this season.
23 Khari Stephenson (32) A Jamaican international, Stephenson moved to Real Salt Lake before the start of the season from San Jose. After being selected in the 2004 SuperDraft, Stephenson spent two seasons with Kansas City, before moving to Sweden and then Norway. He returned to MLS, signing with San Jose midway through the 2010 season.
29 Abdoulie Mansally (24) A Gambian international, Mansally is in his second season with Real Salt Lake, after spending his first five full seasons with the New England Revolution before being released. Primarily a midfielder after signing in 2007, Mansally now uses his lightning pace as a fullback.
24 Jeff Attinella (25) Drafted by Real Salt Lake in the first round of the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft but not signed to a contract, Attinella returned to RSL when he signed in December 2012. He made 52 appearances for the NASL Tampa Bay Rowdies in 2011 and 2012, leading them to the title in 2012, finishing second in MVP voting and earning a spot on the league Best XI. 25 Rich Balchan (24) Balchan in his third MLS season, his first with Real. The 11th overall selection in the 2011 SuperDraft out of the Univ. of Michigan by the Columbus Crew, Balchan played 19 games in his rookie year, but missed all of 2012 through injury. He did not make an appearance for RSL this year. 26 Sebastian Velasquez (22) A second-round selection in the 2012 SuperDraft out of Spartanburg Methodist (S.C.) College, Velasquez made 19 appearances during the league season this year – then scored his first professional goal at a crucial time, helping RSL knock out the defending MLS champion LA Galaxy in the conference semifinals. 27 John Stertzer (23) A first-round selection (No. 12 overall) by Real Salt Lake, Stertzer made his professional debut in the second game of the 2013 season. He played four seasons at the Univ. of Maryland, where he was a third-team AllAmerican following his senior season.
44 Brandon McDonald (27) McDonald was acquired as cover in central defense in July from D.C. United. After starting his career with LA in 2008, he moved to San Jose later that season, then joined D.C. United midway through 2011. He made 33 starts for United in 2012 and was the club’s Defender of the Year. 45 Josh Saunders (32) The MLS Cup-winning goalkeeper with the LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012, Saunders was signed by Real before the start of this season. A Puerto Rican international, he first played with San Jose in MLS in 2003, signing with the Galaxy in 2005, while also playing with the USL Portland Timbers and Puerto Rico Islanders. 49 Devon Sandoval (22) A second-round selection in the 2013 SuperDraft after playing at the Univ. of New Mexico, Sandoval scored three league goals in 17 appearances as an out-and-out hold-up striker. He added three goals in RSL’s run to the U.S. Open Cup Final, then netted his first career MLS Cup Playoffs goal in the first-leg win vs. Portland. HEAD COACH: Jason Kreis Kreis went directly from the playing field to become Real’s second head coach in May 2007, at the time the youngest head coach in MLS. The following season, he led RSL to the club’s first playoff berth, then to the MLS Cup championship in 2009, the youngest head coach to win the league title. He is now seventh all-time in MLS with 90 coaching victories. On the field, Kreis was the first U.S.born player to win MLS MVP honors, in 1999 with the then-Dallas Burn. He scored 108 league goals in his career, the first MLS player to break the century mark, and still the fifthhighest total in league history.

RETURNING TO MLS CUP:
Real Salt Lake’s 2nd trip to the MLS Cup Final in 5 years sees 8 players, along with coach Jason Kreis, who were important contributors to the 2009 victory ... GK Nick Rimando, DF Nat Borchers, DF Chris Wingert, DF Tony Beltran, MF Kyle Beckerman, MF Ned Grabavoy, MF Javier Morales and FW Robbie Findley have the chance to hoist a 2nd Cup with RSL on Saturday ... For GK Nick Rimando and MF Ned Grabavoy, Saturday’s championship match marks a chance at a 3rd MLS Cup for each, as Rimando (DCU, 2004) and Grabavoy (LA, 2005) have each won Cups with two different teams ... A third player - GK Josh Saunders - has a chance to claim a 4th ring, the Portland native winning with LA in 2005, 2011 and 2012, after losing with the Galaxy in 2009 to RSL ... Current RSL MF Khari Stephenson (KC, 2004) and DF Abdoulie Mansally (NE, 2007) were also on losing sides in previous MLS Cups ...

2013 REWIND vs KANSAS CITY:
Back on July 20, the Cup finalists met at Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah, SKC grabbing the full 3 points ultimately proving crucial in order to host Saturday’s Cup - when DF Ike Opara headed home the game-winner at the death in the 97+’ ... RSL FW Robbie Findley gave RSL the lead in the 56’ by beating Jimmy Nielsen with a header in the box, before Soony Saad’s equalizer in the 63’ ... RSL missed 4 starters in that match, as GK Nick Rimando, DF Tony Beltran, Capt Kyle Beckerman (USA) and FW Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica) were on Gold Cup duty that month, as was KC defender Matt Besler (USA) ... Kansas City’s win - disputed by the RSL faithful due to the Opara pushing and shoving which ended up extending the 5’ of added time - snapped an 11-game unbeaten run for the Claret/Cobalt across all competitions (6-02 MLS, 3-0-0 in Open Cup) that saw RSL outscore it opposition 30-9 ...
SABORIO, WINGERT READY TO RETURN:
A pair of perennial RSL starters who missed most of the 5-2 aggregate series win over Portland in November could be back in Jason Kreis’ XI Saturday, as DF Chris Wingert (broken rib) and FW Alvaro Saborio (hip flexor tear) have trained fully since Sunday and are pushing for inclusion ... DF Lovel Palmer and DF Abdoulie Mansally have each filled in at left back ably for Wingert, who suffered a Diego Valeri knee to the rib cage in the 14’ of West Final Leg One v PDX ... Rookie FW Devon Sandoval (New Mexico) has played the target role up top in Saborio’s absence, the hip flexor tear coming in the 110’ of RSL’s 2-0 Leg Two Semifinal win over LA ... Palmer excelled against his former Timbers teammates in nearly 120’ of the series, while Sandoval scored what proved to be the Leg One and series winner early in the 2nd half at Rio Tinto Stadium back on Nov. 10 ...

TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROAD:
BOUNCING BACK FROM TWO-WEEK BREAKS:
RSL - along with PDX (+3) and Kansas City (+3) - was one of 3 MLS clubs in 2013 to own an even or positive goal +/- away from home, with an MLS-high 26 road goals (nearly 50% of the season total) ...
Earlier this year, RSL lost 0-2 at Seattle (on Sept. 13) and drew 0-0 at Portland (Oct. 19) after two-week schedule breaks, prior to the Nov. 24 1-0 win at Portland ... A year ago, RSL won against Dallas (3-2), won at Tauro FC in Panama (1-0) and drew at Seattle (0-0) after extended time off ...
RSL owned 22 of its 56 reg. season points in 2013 courtesy of a 6-7-4 road mark, matching the club’s 6-7-4 (22 point) mark on the road in MLS play in 2012, setting a new club record for road points for the historically road-weary side ...
In the playoffs, RSL is 2-4-4 on the road, with two of the losses able to be overcome as part of an aggregate series ...
MORE ROAD PERSPECTIVE:
The Oct. 19 road draw at PDX improved RSL’s all-time MLS reg. season road mark to 31-77-35 (.409; 145 GF / 226 GA) through 143 all-time road contests in League play … Since Jason Kreis took over in May, 2007, RSL’s MLS road mark is slowly rising at 27-53-30, meaning that RSL earns a road point over 50% of the time under Jason’s guidance ...
HISTORIC ROAD WINS IN 2013:
Back on July 13 of this year, Jason Kreis’ team weathered the early storm at Dallas to record a 3-0 road win, breaking its “Texas Hex” to win on Lone Star soil for the first time ever in 23 attempts, courtesy of a Javier Morales game-winning goal, heroics from Josh Saunders and Jeff Attinella in the net and insurance strikes from Ned Grabavoy & Olmes Garcia ... Including this year’s playoffs, RSL has won 6 of its last 12 away from home, also snapping its Canadian “donut” during the summer, winning on June 29 in Toronto ... RSL has still never won in Washington, D.C. (9 MLS or Open Cup attempts), Philadelphia (3 draws) or Houston (0-8-1 all-time) ... The new team mark of 6 road wins each of the last 2 years is one better than in 2011, exceeding the four achieved in 2010, and more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons …
ROAD WOES IN KANSAS CITY:
RSL has won just once in Kansas City in its nine-year history, back in 2009 when a 1-0 win at Community America Ballpark came courtesy of a Pablo Campos goal early on in the first half, RSL surviving a Ned Grabavoy red card just before halftime ... RSL has dropped 3 of its last 4 against KC (after earning points in 5 of previous 6), posting an all-time 1-5-2 mark on the road there ... In 9 seasons, RSL is 6-8-3 in all competitions against Kansas City, with a 3-3-1 mark against teams coached by Peter Vermes, who took over in the middle of 2009 ... KC was the first visitor to win a regular-season match at Rio Tinto Stadium earlier that year, riding two Josh Wolff goals in a May, 2009, victory that was RSL’s last home loss prior to a 37-game unbeaten home streak (4/27/11, 0-1 to Monterrey) ...
Saturday’s Cup is the club’s seventh game after a twoweek break in the last two seasons, RSL posting a 3-1-2 mark in similar situations in 2012/13 in MLS and CCL ...
ROBBIE FINDLEY HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME:
RSL FW Robbie Findley has once again stepped up in the postseason, scoring 2 goals and adding 1 assist in the West Final series against Portland ... The former Oregon State player is RSL’s all-time playoff scorer with 6 career goals - 3 in 2009, 1 in 2010 and the 2 this campaign ... It was Findley’s equalizer in MLS Cup 2009 - coming on a rebound of a Yura Movsisyan shot - that vaulted RSL back into contention against LA, ultimately winning in a shootout ... 2013 is Findley’s first season back with RSL since 2010, the quicksilver Phoenix native spending 2011 and 2012 in England with Nottingham Forest (1st Division) as well as 7-game loan spell with Gillingham ... Findley battled coaching changes (5 managers) as well as a slew of injuries in his 24 months abroad, before returning to his mentor, Jason Kreis, and scoring 6 goals in regularseason play for RSL in 2013 ...
SANDOVAL AS A STARTER:
Saborio’s replacement as the RSL target man up top is rookie FW Devon Sandoval, drafted 29th overall in the most recent MLS SuperDraft out of New Mexico ... With the Albuquerque native in the starting lineup, RSL has posted an 11-3-0 mark this season across all competitions, outscoring opponents 32-15 ... Sandoval scored 3 goals in the reg. season for RSL, led the club with 3 more goals in Open Cup play and was the team’s leading reserve division scorer with 4 goals, prior to his game-winning goal in Leg One of the current playoff series ... The list of Sandoval starts/results: 3/30 Sandoval, Findley W, 2-1 (Findley 1g) 4/6 Sandoval, Saborio L, 0-1 5/4 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-0 (Plata 2a) 5/8 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-1 (Sandoval 1g) 5/11 Sandoval, Garcia L, 2-3 5/19 Sandoval, Plata W, 4-1 (Plata 1g) 5/28 Sandoval, Findley W, 3-2 (Sandoval 1g) 6/12 Sandoval, Garcia W, 5-2 (Sandoval 2g) 6/29 Plata, Sandoval, Garcia W, 1-0 (Garcia 1a) 8/24 Sandoval, Garcia W, 4-0 (Sandoval 1g, Garcia 1a) 9/21 Sandoval, Plata L, 1-2 9/28 Sandoval, Garcia W, 1-0 (Sandoval 1g) 11/10 Sandoval, Findley W, 4-2 (Sandoval 1g, Findley 1g/1a) 11/24 Sandoval, Findley W, 1-0 (Findley 1g)
When RSL goes with an “abnormal” forward pairing basically, anything other than matching a target guy with a speed option up top in a 4-4-2 - the club posted only a 2-5-2 mark this season ...

GOALS COMING FROM ALL OVER ROSTER:
When MF Sebastian Velasquez and DF Chris Schuler each scored in the 2-0 win over Los Angeles on Nov. 7, RSL boasted an extremely diverse group of 18 players who have found the back of the net across all competitions in 2013 – one more than the 17 that several MLS teams have seen over the years, according to Elias Sports Bureau ...
STEPPING UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT:
The Velasquez goal was his first as a professional, while Schuler’s set-piece goals in Leg 2 v LA and Leg 1 v PDX give him the distinction of becoming the first RSL player to score in back-to-back playoff games since FW Robbie Findley back in 2009 (legs one and two during the East Semis against Columbus) ... The Velasquez goal gave RSL its first-ever lead during any of the previous home elimination games it had faced in recent years, while the Schuler goal in OT1 made up for the disallowed Javier Morales free kick in the 84’ ...
SETTLING ON CENTERBACK TANDEM:
RSL has used NINE different centerback pairings during its 43 MLS & Open Cup games this season ... Since DF Chris Schuler returned from injury and paired with veteran leader Nat Borchers 7 games ago, RSL has posted a 4-1-2 mark, allowing just 4 goals in those 7 games and notching 3 clean sheets, including shutouts on Oct. 19 and Nov. 24 at Portland ... The list: CB COMBINATION Record Form Guide Borchers / Schuler 7-3-3 WLTWLWTTWLWWW Borchers / Salcedo 8-4-2 WTWWTWWWLWWLLL Borchers / Kwame 2-1-0 LWW Borchers / Maund 2-2-0 WWLL Borchers / McDonald 0-0-2 TT Schuler / Kwame 1-2-1 WLTL Schuler / Salcedo 1-0-0 W Schuler / McDonald 1-0-0 W Salcedo / Kwame 1-0-0 W 23-12-8
YOUNG ‘UN LUIS GIL RISES TO OCCASION:
RSL MF Luis Gil has played the full 90 or 120 minutes in each of RSL’s last 8 games, the club posting a 5-1-2 mark in those games with the versatile MF contributing on attack as well as on the all-important defensive side of the ball ... The recent run of stability for Gil comes after the newly 20-year old only went the full 90 in 8 of 26 previous MLS games in 2013 and only 9 times in 54 games from 2010-12 ... Gil came to RSL via Sporting Kansas City in the Spring of 2010, when the young U.S. player was awarded via lottery ... KC traded Gil to Real Salt Lake in exchange for a conditional SuperDraft pick, an international slot and future transfer fee considerations ... While being brought along slowly by RSL boss Jason Kreis, Gil has excelled for Tab Ramos’ U.S. U-20 side in the last two years, especially at this summer’s U-20 World Cup ... Gil has displayed speed, athleticism, vision and attacking prowess, the newly-turned 20-year old assuming minutes in the last 2 seasons vacated by Andy Wiliams’ retirement, Javier Morales’ injury woes and the trade of Will Johnson ...
KANSAS CITY, KS
BECKERMAN, RIMANDO STILL PERFECT:
The veteran duo of Captain Kyle Beckerman and “SuperKeeper” Nick Rimando have played all 1,710 minutes of RSL’s playoff history, across 18 total games ... DF Nat Borchers, MF Javier Morales and DF Chris Wingert have each appeared in 1300+ minutes, missing games due to injury/suspension in the last six postseasons ...
RSL ATTACK REBOUNDS IN POSTSEASON:
When 2nd-year MF Sebastian Velasquez headed home a Chris Wingert offering in the 2nd leg v LA, that header from the 5’-5” playmaker snapped RSL’s playoff scoreless streak at 370 minutes, dating back to Grabavoy’s series-winner v SEA back in 2011 Semi Leg One ... RSL has scored 7 goals in its last 3 playoff games, after finding the back of the net only 4 times in its previous 8 games across all comps Sept. 1 - Nov. 3, suffering 5 shutouts and the only multi-goal game coming in the 2013 season finale at home against Chivas ... RSL’s West-leading 57-goal attack went missing in Sept. / Oct., scoring just four goals and posting a 2-3-2 record since the 4-2 home win over Portland back on August 30 ... That critical game marked the fourth consecutive match (across all competitions) that RSL had reached the 2+ goal threshold, as well as in five of six matches, 8 of 10 and 19 of its last 23 matches dating from May 1 - Sept. 1 ... Since losing at home on April 27 to Los Angeles (0-2), RSL had posted a 15-4-4 record across league and Open Cup play during a red-hot Summer ... In that span, RSL outscored opponents 57-31 ...
THE MAESTRO, JAVIER MORALES:
Veteran MF Javier Morales has joined teammate Robbie Findley in rewriting the club’s postseason record books, the Argentine playmaker recapturing the form of his pre-2011 ankle injury with a regular-season campaign that saw him score 8 goals, add 10 assists and garner some MVP talk ... Morales has one goal and three assists for RSL this postseason - along with an exquisite, wind-aided free kick goal that was disallowed v LA - and is hoping to add more Saturday in an attempt to rewrite his personal MLS Cup history ... Major League Soccer’s most-fouled player was forced out of MLS Cup 2009 after just 20 minutes, as a centercircle foul from LA’s David Beckham off the ball resulted in a meniscus tear ...

TEAM IS THE STAR TAKEN TOO FAR?:
PDX REWIND :: A DICHOTOMY OF WINS:
Rimando, Javier Morales and Kyle Beckerman were also denied any MLS Best XI selections, but RSL fans are seeking solace in how RSL has ended the seasons of Portland’s 3 selections (Ricketts, Valeri, Will Johnson) and LA’s pair (Gonzalez, Keane) ... RSL’s opponent Saturday, Sporting KC, saw two players named to the Best XI, MF Graham Zusi and DF Matt Besler ...
In Leg One at home - a wide-open affair, RSL rebounded after conceding a 14’ free kick to former teammate Will Johnson, running off four unanswered goals in 47 minutes to take commanding control of the series ... A spectacular header at the death by Timbers sub Frederic Piquionne that narrowed the margin at “halftime” to 4-2 ...
RSL is shut out of the league’s postseason individual award recognition, as Jason Kreis & Nick Rimando fell shy of their Portland counterparts Caleb Porter & Donovan Ricketts in Coach and GK of the Year voting ...
ELITE COMPANY WITH MULTIPLE CUPS:
Both RSL (2009) and Sporting Kansas City (2000) have won previous MLS Cups, with the KC organization losing in 2004 to Chicago in its 2nd Cup appearance ... Only five organizations in the 18-year history of MLS have hoisted the Alan I. Rothenberg or Philip F. Anschutz trophies on multiple occasions, with D.C. United (4 - 1996, 97, 99 and 2004), Los Angeles Galaxy (4 - 2002, 2005, 2011, 2012), Chicago Fire (2 - 1998, 2004), San Jose Earthquakes (2 - 2001, 2003) and Houston Dynamo (2 - 2006, 2007) owning more than one title ...
LONGEST ACTIVE POSTSEASON STREAK:
RSL’s current streak of 6 consecutive MLS Cup Playoff berths is the longest active run of postseason competition, with only NE having a longer run of 8 consecutive years and NY 6 since 2000 ... Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ...
RAREFIED AIR OF SUSTAINED SUCCESS:
The Sept. 29 win @ VAN put RSL at both the 15-win and 50-point plateaus for the FOURTH consecutive season, something no MLS club had accomplished in the postshootout era (LA Galaxy 2010-13 joined RSL with a lateseason win over Montreal) ... D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 teams, as well as Los Angeles Galaxy 2010/11/12 joined RSL 2010-12 as the only teams to have put together three straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...
ROAD ELIMINATION GAMES:
On the road or at a neutral site, RSL has actually fared quite well in “elimination” games, advancing in 7 out of its previous 8 opportunities - on PKs twice and on aggregate the other 5 occasions, the only road disappointment coming in the single-elimination 2011 West Final at LA: DATE OPP. RESULT COMPETITION: 11/08/08 @ CHV T 2-2* West Conf SemiFinal 11/05/09 @ CLB W 3-2* East Conf SemiFinal 11/14/09 @ CHI T, 0-0* East Conf FInal 11/22/09 v LA T, 1-1* MLS Cup 2009 (@ Seattle) 04/05/11 @ SAP L, 1-2* CCL SemiFinal 11/03/11 @ LA L 1-3 West Conf Final 11/02/12 @ SEA L, 0-2* West Conf SemiFinal 11/24/13 @ POR W, 1-0* West Conf Final 12/07/13 @ KC ??? MLS Cup 2013 *result advanced RSL to victory
RSL won each leg of its West Final series against Portland in two completely different ways, yet another testimony to the versatility of the club’s personnel, style, depth and tactical abilities ...
In Leg Two on the road, on turf, in a hostile environment, RSL displayed a tight, compact defensive resolve, repelling multiple Timbers attacks early - even seeing a pair of goals disallowed due to foul / offsides - and nicking the game’s lone goal against the run of play due to the ambition of a long-range Luis Gil shot and the guile of Robbie Findley to beat 2 defenders to the Ricketts’ rebound ... The 4 goals scored by RSL in the first leg was the highest total in a 90-minute MLS playoff game since Chicago scored 4 at DC in an East Semi in 2005 … The team’s 5 goals in the series matches the highest aggregate total since MLS went to the current format ...
ROLLIN’ 4X4 v TIMBERS - AGAIN:
The four goals by four different players - DF Chris Schuler, FW Robbie Findley, FW Devon Sandoval and MF Javier Morales - marked the 2nd time this season that RSL saw a 4-2 win over Portland at Rio Tinto Stadium with a goal-scoring quartet ... Back on August 30, RSL saw four goals by four different players in the 4-2 home win (MF Luis Gil, FW Joao Plata, Morales & FW Alvaro Saborio), a feat also accomplished by RSL in U.S. Open Cup play (a 5-2 home win over Charleston - Plata, Morales, Sandoval & MF Khari Stephenson) ... RSL saw 4 different players score in the same game three times in the 2010 season, including most recently on Sept. 15 in a 4-1 home CCL win over Toronto (Saborio, Beckerman, Olave & Paulo Junior) ... Back in April, 2009, RSL saw 6 different players score in the 2nd half of a 6-0 home win over NE, in the most prolific and diverse scoring period in club history ... Findley’s goal against Portland in the first leg of this series gave him five all-time postseason goals for RSL, extending his team lead ...

SABORIO THE X-FACTOR SATURDAY?:
Many have debated how much RSL has missed the presence of FW Alvaro Saborio - the team’s all-time leading scorer with 66 goals in 114 games across all comps for the Claret/Cobalt - during the Portland series, due to a hip flexor injury suffered in the 110’ of the Nov. 7 match v LA ... Sabo had regained form heading into the Playoffs, scoring his 8th goal in 15 2014 World Cup Qualifiers for his Costa Rican National Team, to go with 13 goals in 19 games (all comps) this season for RSL - the highest strike rate in MLS ... Saborio scored a short-handed goal for RSL back on Oct. 5 at home v DAL in a return for the first time in over a month of MLS action since a left calf strain suffered during international duty with Costa Rica has caused him to miss RSL losses 9/13 @ SEA and 9/21 v SJ ... Despite playing in just 16 MLS games this season, Saborio had scored 12 goals for a league-leading strike rate of 0.83 per game ... Saborio also had 2 goals in 3 Open Cup games ...
HOW DOES 2013 COMPARE?:
A year ago, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchisehigh 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-pergame average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2013 saw RSL establish a club mark for goals scored, 2nd only to NY in 2013 ...

RIMANDO FIRST TO 200 CAREER GAMES:
RSL GK Nick Rimando made his 200th career MLS regular-season appearance for the Claret/Cobalt Oct. 19 in Portland, becoming the first player in the club’s nine seasons to reach the bicentennial mark ... Rimando also has 15 CONCACAF, 14 playoff and 3 US Open Cup appearances for the team, which acquired him from New York just prior to the 2007 season ... Former RSL MF Andy Williams - now the team’s Head Scout - was the previous appearance leader for RSL, with 189 games played from 2005-11 for the Utah club, while current Captain Kyle Beckerman, DF Nat Borchers and DF Chris Wingert each have 170+ reg. season games played for the club ... Rimando’s win in the final regular-season match against Chivas gave the 2013 MLS GK of the Year candidate and everyone’s “homeboy” 85 RSL wins and a total of 72 clean sheets for the Utah side in reg. season play ... The Nov. 24 win over POR was Rimando’s 7th in 18 postseason matches for RSL, to go along with his 7th clean sheet ...

MLS CUP 2009 REWIND:
Real Salt Lake, in just its fifth-ever season, emerged from the Eastern side of the MLS Cup Playoff bracket to face the heavily favored Galaxy in Seattle … The star-studded lineup that included Donovan, Beckham, Ricketts et al faced Jason Kreis’ side which adhered to a “Team is the Star” mantra … En route to an 0-1 halftime deficit courtesy of a Mike Magee goal (assists to both Donovan and Beckham on the counter), RSL saw its most valuable player – MF Javier Morales – knocked out of the game in the 22’ with a knee injury suffered in a late challenge by Beckham, while stalwart midfield engine Will Johnson was replaced at halftime by Ned Grabavoy following a bout with food poisoning that had made his ability to even play that day a question … Twenty minutes into the second half, a Yura Movsisyan deflection bounced right into the path of FW Robbie Findley, who beat Beckham to the ball and slotted past GK Donovan Ricketts to even the match and set up another hour of nail-biting but ultimately scoreless soccer, bringing the proceedings to penalties … That historic triumph marked the first major-league professional sports trophy to be claimed by a Utah team since the Utah Starzz won the ABA’s championship in 1971, breaking a nearly four-decade drought for the state’s dedicated fans …
REVISITING 2009 PK HEROICS:
RSL GK Nick Rimando earned MLS Cup 2009 Most Valuable Player honors largely for his stellar form in a pair of PK shootouts - both against LA that fateful night in Seattle, as well as in the East Final at Chicago that allowed RSL to advance to Cup ...
v LA:
After the first four shooters from each team buried their attempts, Rimando saved Jovan Kirovski’s attempt to give RSL a brief advantage, but things were back to even when Josh Saunders saved Kyle Beckerman’s attempt ... RSL quickly regained the advantage when Landon Donovan skied his attempt and Ned Grabavoy buried his, but things went back to even when Saunders saved Andy Williams’ shot after the Mike Magee equalizer ... Chris Klein and Chris Wingert kept things on form, but Rimando’s save - the third LA miss of the shootout - on Edson Buddle’s shot set up Robbie Russell’s heroics ...
v CHI:
RSL appeared to be doomed in the PK shootout against the Fire in 2009, falling behind 1-3 after Wilman Conde buried his kick following a Javier Morales miss ... But Robbie Findley and Kyle Beckerman scored on either side of a John Thorrington shot saved by Rimando to knot things at 3-3 ... In the final two frames, Rimando saved attempts from Logan Pause and Brandon Prideaux, while it was Chicago native Ned Grabavoy who knocked home the final dagger for the Fire to allow RSL to advance to Cup ...

KREIS PUTS PUZZLE TOGETHER:
While much has been made of RSL’s depth - 27 players seeing first-team minutes in MLS play this season, including a club-record 26 with at least one start - a deeper look explains why RSL has been so dependent on its bench: the team has seen 27 games lost so far this year to international duty, with 80 games lost due to injury and another 13 due to suspension ... By missing six players to international duty (World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup, U-20 World Championship), RSL has seen more players lost than any club in North America (including Santo Laguna of Mexico, that country’s main contributor to WCQ) ... The list: 6 - FW Alvaro Saborio - Costa Rica WCQ / Gold Cup 5 - GK Nick Rimando - USA WCQ / Gold Cup 5- MF Kyle Beckerman - USA WCQ / Gold Cup 5 - MF Luis Gil - US Under-20 World Cup 4 - DF Tony Beltran - USA Gold Cup 2 - DF Abdoulie Mansally - The Gambia INJURY ABSENCES: 80 games (and counting*): WatsonSiriboe 19*, Saborio 14*, Schuler 11, Wingert 10, Morales 4, Borchers 3, Saunders 14*, Salcedo 2 and Gil 1 ... (DF Rich Balchan & MF John Stertzer not included here) SUSPENSIONS: 13 games: Alvarez 5 (2 red/3 disc comm), Wingert 2 (2 disc comm), Mansally 2, (1 red / 1 disc comm), Beltran 1 (red), Palmer 1 (red), Beckerman 1 (caution accumulation), Morales 1 (caution accumulation) Only MF Enzo Martinez (currently on loan at Carolina), MF John Stertzer (who did make 2 appearances), MF David Viana (waived on June 28) and DF Rich Balchan have not yet started a 2013 MLS game ... RSL had the fortune of no league games during the recent Sept. & Oct. FIFA windows, so while Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando (USA) and Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica) saw extra travel, they did not miss any MLS contests purely due to the calendar ...
MLS COACHING ELITE, ALL-TIME:
RSL boss Jason Kreis and HOU mgr Dominic Kinnear are the two young American coaches most often discussed for future USMNT and other high-profile jobs ... The duo rank 3-4 in terms of active MLS coaches in wins, winning % and points - behind SEA coach Sigi Schmid and LA coach Bruce Arena ... All-time, Kreis is 7th in points & wins but 5th in winning % ...

CAPTAIN BECKERMAN 20th TO 300:
“KB5” is the seventh player in MLS history with RSL ties to hit 300+ appearances, joining the following as former/ current Claret-and-Cobalt players in the exclusive club (active members of the club in red): FW Jeff Cunningham (365) GK Nick Rimando (345) - RSL GK MF Chris Klein (333) MF Andy Williams (332) - RSL Head Scout MF Kyle Beckerman (324) - RSL Captain MF Carey Talley (315) FW Jason Kreis (305) - RSL Head Coach
WALL OF THE WASATCH NICKY RIMANDO:
RSL GK Nick Rimando preserved the 3 points on May 8 by denying a Saer Sene PK during stoppage time @NE, with a yellow card accompanying an apparent handball in the box inadvertently given to the wrong player (DF Carlos Salcedo), resulting in a sending off for the 19year old Academy product, who was cautioned for a high boot in the first half ... The saved PK was the 2nd in a span of 4 games for Rimando - he stopped Mejia in the first half of the April 20 1-0 win over Chivas ... Rimando, who extended his all-time MLS PK “denial” record to 19 career stops, has held opposing PK takers to just 41-for-60 against the former DC/MIA and current RSL netminder ... Overall, RSL ‘keepers have allowed opponents to convert only 26-of-37 attempts, with GK Nick Rimando - Major League Soccer’s most successful PK stopper - making 10 of the 11 all-time RSL stonings ... Former RSL GK Scott Garlick denied one attempt in 2006 (of the 2 he faced that season) ...
DIAMOND DEPARTURES FORTUITOUS:
For the 2nd time in 3 games back on July 13 in Dallas, RSL boss Jason Kreis rolled out an alternative to his preferred 4-4-2 diamond formation, RSL employing a 4-2-3-1 ... In the midfield, Javier Morales was flanked by both Luis Gil and Sebastian Velasquez ahead of D-mids Ned Grabavoy & Yordany Alvarez, with Robbie Findley deployed as a lone striker up top ... Two weeks earlier, on June 29 in Toronto, choosing to put a pair of D-mids - Captain Kyle Beckerman and understudy Alvarez - behind playmaker Morales, with two speedy wingers - Joao Plata & Olmes Garcia - on either side of target man Devon Sandoval ... These departures from the 4-4-2 diamond that has become Kreis’ RSL signature are the club’s first different looks to start a game since July, 2011, in an 0-1 loss at Dallas ... With MF Yordany Alvarez suspended Aug. 17 v HOU, the idea of pairing a D-mid next to a well-traveled and potentially exhausted Beckerman becomes more difficult ... In a 4-2-1-3 rollout at home, Kreis did place Grabavoy next to Beckerman and put Plata & Garcia on either side up high next to Alvaro Saborio, the Costa Rican converting a 38’ PK for the game’s only goal, improving RSL to a perfect 3-0-0 when Kreis departs from the diamond ... That record of perfection crashed to a halt in Playoff Leg One at LA, when RSL went to a 4-5-1 with Beckerman/ Alvarez holding and Sabo on an island up top in an 0-1 loss ...

RIMANDO CLEAN SHEET / ASSIST COMBO:
In that home match v VAN on May 4, RSL took the early 2nd-half lead when GK Nick Rimando watched a Nigel Reo-Coker free kick sail over his goal and quickly restarted play with a pinpoint goal kick, finding FW Joao Plata wide right 60 yards upfield ... Plata took a few touches and sent a cross onto the head of MF Luis Gil for the U.S. U-20 star’s second tally of the season ... The game-winning assist was Rimando’s 4th of his career and the 7th all-time helper in his 14th season ... However, May 4 v VAN marked only the second time the veteran combined a shutout - the 102nd of his career with a game-winning assist (8/8/09, 1-0 v SEA) ...

RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:
RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, has 11 goals in only 14 MLS appearances of the season ... After the hat trick @NY in late July, Sabo earned MLS Player of the Week accolades after missing extended periods of time due to World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup and injuries ... Despite the heartbreak of the 3-4 loss at NY, RSL still owns a dominating 35-6-9 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... The 4th-year MLS player joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s nine-year, 334-game history across all competitions ... In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 66 goals in 111 games, w/ 21 gamewinning goals and 15 multi-goal matches (17 and 20 in 93 MLS games) ... Prior to last year’s Aug. 18 1-2 L v DAL, the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, June 20 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ... RSL is only 19-28-17 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 19-8-6 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …
TICO SABO NO LONGER PERFECT ON PKS ...
On April 6 @COL, RSL’s all-time leading scorer & Costa Rican international Alvaro Saborio saw his 8’ PK attempt saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ... In an RSL uniform, Sabo is now 11-for-12 in MLS games after beating Dynamo GK Tally Hall on Saturday, with a 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League ... RSL’s last PK miss was 12 attempts earlier than that April 6 miss @COL, 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 33-for-38 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...
... BUT OPEN CUP HISTORY FROM SPOT IS:
With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in the June 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

When an RSL player scores 2 or more, the team is now 37-4-4 all-time … The loss 7/27 @NY was only the 2nd in RSL’s MLS history when a multi-goal game did not result in points for the team; besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL (2010) and the 4-6 loss at Minn. in Open Cup (2005), the lone prior MLS loss came June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown’s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 setback ...

MORE MULTI-GOAL MADNESS:
In 112 MLS/CCL/Open Cup/Playoff games, Saborio’s total of 15 multi-goal matches more than doubles the total of #2 Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales/Robbie Findley/ Fabian Espoindola with 4 “braces” each, while “Sabo” owns the club’s lone postseason multi-goal match, coming Fall 2011 against SEA in the West Semis ... Other RSL players to score 2+ goals: Movsisyan and Kreis (2x each), along with Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and now Ned Grabavoy and Olmes Garcia, who have each also scored 2x in a game …
SPATE OF RED CARDS ONCE AGAIN:
Mansally’s red card two months ago vs DAL caused RSL to suffer its third disciplinary committee suspension of the season, MF Yordany Alvarez previously suspended for his 4’ tackle on Tim Cahill on July 20 ... Alvarez later received a straight red in the 78’ at Portland on Aug. 21, the club’s 5th red of the season and last ejection prior to Mansally last time out ... RSL had seen its outside backs ejected in three of its four games prior to 7/27 @NY, with veteran DF Chris Wingert tossed in the 66’ v KC, on the heels of USMNT DF Tony Beltran seeing red in Toronto on June 29 and replacement Lovel Palmer incredulously sent to the showers on July 3 ... The Wingert ejection was the 5th of the 25-game campaign across all comps this season, as MF Yordany Alvarez was ejected after a 2nd yellow card for diving back on March 23 at Dallas ... DF Carlos Salcedo was sent off for a 2nd yellow in stoppage time on May 8 at NE, but that card was rescinded due to mistaken identity ... The Alvarez red on March 23 was RSL’s first in 18 MLS regular-season and playoff games ... RSL went through a period last season where it saw a total of 5 reds in 21 games (MLS and CCL), with 3 of those ejections coming in games at San Jose ... The club suffered an RSL-record 7 ejections in 2011, after a team-best ZERO during the 2010 campaign - until Javier Morales received two yellow cards at Dallas in Leg #1 of that year’s West Semis ... All-time, RSL now has been victim of 50 MLS red cards, succumbing to a -19 goal difference in a total of 1177 minutes playing a man down … With the ejections of FW Fabian Espindola and DF Jamison Olave last April 21 at SJ, RSL was reduced to nine men for the only time in the nine-year organization’s now 285game MLS history, and just the second in 339 games overall (including MLS postseason matches, CONCACAF Champions League games and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches) ...
KANSAS CITY, KS
THE MYTHICAL “FIRST-CHOICE XI”:
While Kreis started the same XI in back-to-back games to open 2013, it hadn’t happened in 13 consecutive games until home games against SJ & LA in early June ... RSL rolled out the same XI just 4 times out of 41 games across all competitions last season ... How rare are back-to-back 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) ... Due to injuries, cards, suspensions and national-team duty a year ago, RSL boss Jason Kreis fielded his “first-choice” starting XI for only 59 minutes last season - back on May 5, a 2-1 home win over New England, a victory marred by the Will Johnson red card in the 59’ ... That occasion - the first of the year and only time in 34 MLS games in 2012, besides the July 31 CCL match at Herediano - came on nearly the one-year anniversary of the last regular-season occurance, May 7, 2011, when RSL saw Javier Morales chopped down from behind and lost until late Sept. with a horrifically broken ankle ... Could we see the same lineup Saturday that we did 2 weeks ago at JELD-Wen Field? ...

The Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City kicked off their third meeting in the MLS Cup Playoffs in as many seasons with a scoreless draw in the first leg at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo looked to have opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Kofi Sarkodie snuck behind the SKC backline and hit the back of the net, but the offside flag was up and the goal ruled out. Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was called upon to make three saves, including a stop from a curling free kick by Boniek Garcia in the first half which was repelled by a diving block. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall was credited with two saves, his biggest in the 57th minute when Teal Bunbury worked his way through the Dynamo defense, only for his but his shot to be stuffed.

Real Salt Lake took a massive step toward a second MLS Cup appearance with a 4-2 win against the Portland Timbers in the first leg at Rio Tinto Stadium. The visitors were in the lead just 13 minutes into the game when Will Johnson struck a knuckling, dipping free kick from 25 yards out that sailed past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando. But Real were level in the 35th minute when Javier Morales set in a corner that defender Chris Schuler to head home from the area, then they took lead the in the 41st minute when Robbie Findley exploited a misplay by Portland center back Futty Danso to strike home from inside the area. RSL took a 3-1 lead just three minutes into the second half. After being freed by Morales on the right, Findley centered for Devon Sandoval, who held off a defender before sending the ball home from close range. Morales made it 4-1 in the 82nd minute when he stooped to head home a corner kick from Joao Plata. But Portland grabbed a pivotal goal back in the 94th minute when substitute Frederic Piquionne thumped in a header from a Jack Jewsbury cross.

Sporting Kansas City reached the MLS Cup Final for the first time since 2004 with a 2-1 comeback victory against the Houston Dymamo on a frigid night in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Championship, winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. The Dynamo were in the lead after just three minutes when Boniek Garcia collected a Brad Davis headed pass and hit a shot that deflected off SKC center back Matt Besler and into the goal past Jimmy Nielsen. But the home side was level in the 17th minute through a gift. Benny Feilhaber sent in a through ball and Dynamo center back Bobby Boswell took a bad touch that saw it find C.J. Sapong's path for an easy equalizer from point-blank range. The game-winner came in the 63rd minute. An exchange between Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber led to a spot-perfect chipped through ball to Dom Dwyer, and collected the ball, moved into space, and calmly slotted the ball low and to Tally Hall's right. The game kicked off with 22-degree temperatures, the coldest recorded game in MLS history.

Real Salt Lake defeated the Portland Timbers for the fourth time this year, this time with a 1-0 decision in the second leg of the Western Conference Championship, reaching MLS Cup 2013 for the second time by winning the series 5-2 on aggregate. RSL virtually sealed their trip to the final when Robbie Findley scored in the 29th minute, there to clean up a Luis Gil shot that Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was unable to field cleanly after a RSL counterattack. Portland saw two apparant goals ruled out, one in the 15th minute for a foul after a cornerkick header by Mamadou “Futty” Danso; then in the 33rd minute another Danso goal on a free kick was disallowed, this time for offside. RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was forced into action just twice in keeping the clean sheet.

The Houston Dynamo once again reached the conference championship, overcoming the Supporters' Shield-winning New York Red Bulls on their home ground, winning 2-1 in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series second leg and the series on a 4-3 aggregate scoreline. The Red Bulls took the lead in the 23rd minute. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall came out to intercept a Lloyd Sam cross but inexplicably spilled it, allowing Bradley Wright-Phillips to pounce on the loose ball and calmly slot it home. But the Dynamo were level 13 minutes later when Ibrahim Sekagya played an ill-advised pass across the top of the 18-yard box that an opportunistic Brad Davis picked off and slotted home with ease. The Dynamo survived the second half before Omar Cummings again came off the bench for the crucial goal in the 104th minute, turning home from close range after a cross was headed down in the box.

Sporting Kansas City hit for a late series equalizer and scored the extratime winner to book their place in the conference final, defeating the New England Revolution 3-1 in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinal Series, winning the tie 4-3 on aggregate. Aurélien Collin put the hosts into the lead in the 42nd minute, turning home a deflected shot from close range. But the Revolution regained the series lead in the 70th minute when Dimitry Imbongo pounded home a free kick with a fine side volley. Nine minutes Sporting were again improbably level, as left back Seth Sinovic gave his club the lead on the night with a far-post blast after Graham Zusi's headed flick-on. Then after coming on as a late substitute, Claudio Bieler sent SKC through when he stabbed home a centering pass from Benny Feilhaber from the right side of the area in the 113th minute.

The Portland Timbers advanced in their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs series, dispatching their most hated rival in a 3-2 defeat of Seattle Sounders FC in the second leg of their Western Conference Semifinal, winning 5-3 on aggregate. Returning home with a lead, the Timbers were up by two goals before halftime. Will Johnson converted a penalty in the 29th minute when Djimi Traore was caught for a handball in the box, and just before halftime, Diego Valeri made a decisive run into the area to meet Rodney Wallace’s perfect feed for a sliding goal in the 44th minute. The game seemed over in the 47th minute when Futty Danso snuck behind the defense and got on the end of a Wallace cross from a quick restart for a 3-0 lead. Seattle pulled a goal back on a long throw-in in the 74th minute that skipped through to DeAndre Yedlin, who pounced on the loose ball and fired home. Just two minutes later, Eddie Johnson got on the end of a Yedlin cross to bury a header into the top left corner. But that was all Seattle could muster.

Real Salt Lake reached the Western Conference Championship for the fourth time in six years, putting an end to the LA Galaxy's reign as MLS Cup champions with a 2-0 victory in extra time in the second leg of their semifinal series, winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. In the 35th minute, midfielder Sebastian Velasquez gave Real the goal they needed to bring the series even on aggregate, heading home a cross from defender Chris Wingert from the left flank past LA goalkeeper Jaime Penedo. The Galaxy could muster just one shot on target, while Real hit the post and crossbar in the second half -- and had a seeming match-winner ruled out by referee Baldomero Toledo. But the winner finally came 12 minutes into extra time. Javier Morales flighted in a free kick from well out o the left and the ball carried all the way to the back post where Chris Schuler came sliding in to turn the ball home. RSL finished out the game with 10 men due to an injury to Alvaro Saborio, but still held out for the triumph.

The Houston Dynamo overcame a two-goal deficit in the second half against a 10-man New York Red Bulls, leaving the teams in a 2-2 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Red Bulls -- who had won all three league meetings between the teams -- were two goals to the good before the game was barely a half-hour old. The opener came in the 22nd minute when Thierry Henry sent in a sublime delivery from the left and Tim Cahill struck with a trademark header. Ten minutes later it was 2-0 after a rapid counterattack that ended when Eric Alexander cut back in the box and fired past Hall. The Dynamo started their comeback in the 51st minute when Ricardo Clark latched on to a poor clearance at the top of the box and skimmed a low shot to the back of the net. Then after Jamison Olave received a red card in the 65th minute from referee Ricardo Salazar for a challenge on Houston striker Omar Cummings, the leveler came in the 90th minute. A Bobby Boswell header from a corner was saved by New York goalkeeper Luis Robles, but the rebound fell right to Cummings and he touched home from almost on the line.

The New England Revolution won their first MLS Cup Playoffs game in four seasons, capturing a 2-1 victory against Sporting Kansas City in the first leg at Gillette Stadium. After weathering a first-half storm, New England scored the opener 10 minutes after the interval. Sporting 'keeper Jimmy Nielsen saved an initial shot from Juan Agudelo from close range, but the effort then deflected toward the goal line where Andy Dorman tucked home from two yards. The Revolution doubled the advantage in the 67th minute. Lee Nguyen played Kelyn Rowe through on the right side of the penalty area, and he finished well with the outside of his foot for a precious second. Sporting reduced the deficit two minutes later after a scramble inside the penalty area when a free kick was partially cleared then sent back toward goal where Aurelien Collin lurked at the back post to tap home from close range.

The Portland Timbers took control of their Western Conference Semifinal Series with a 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field in the club's first-ever MLS playoff game. The Timbers opened the scoring solidly against the run of play in the 15th minute. Jack Jewsbury placed an inch-perfect cross from the right corner and Ryan Johnson was able to lose his mark with a run to the near post, slipping a glancing header past Sounders goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann from a tight angle. The Timbers were able to add a second goal in the 67th minute. Kalif Alhassan found himself unmarked on the right wing and put in an angled pass to Darlington Nagbe. His first touch took his past a defender and then he lethally struck with a right-footed shot inside the back post. Sounders FC did pull a goal back in the 90th minute, when Osvaldo Alonso gave his team a lifeline, pouncing on a ball that had fallen to his feet off a Shalrie Joseph header after a long throw from Brad Evans. But the Timbers held on for their first win ever at CenturyLink Field -- and in fact had never even led in a MLS game in Seattle.

The LA Galaxy claimed the advantage in their Western Conference Semifinal Series following a 1-0 victory against Real Salt Lake in the first leg at StubHub Center. The game's lone goal came just two minutes into the second half. Robbie Keane turned at the byeline on the left and rolled a pass all the way through the penalty area. Sean Franklin, well behind the play, stepped up and hit a rocket from nearly 30 yards out with the outside of his right foot inside the right-hand post. Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo was called upon to make just two saves in keeping the clean sheet in a game the Galaxy bossed from the outset, though RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando also saw just two shots on target for the entire evening.

The Houston Dynamo once again cruised through a Knockout Round match, defeating an eight-man Montreal Impact 3-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo were on top after just the the 16th minute. After Will Bruin played the ball to Ricardo Clark at the top of the box, Clark turned a snazzy backheel in traffic to put Bruin through, and he made no mistake with the ensuing finish past goalkeeper Troy Perkins. Just 11 minutes later the Dynamo doubled the lead. A charging Hernán Bernardello came crashing in to bring down Boniek García in the box for a clear penalty kick, and he stepped up himself to finish his own spot kick home. After Nelson Rivas was shown a second yellow for an elbow on Bruin in the second half, Bruin completed his double in the 71st minute. Corey Ashe hit a ball over the top to Bruin, who outpaced a defender and slipped wide to avoid Perkins before firing home from the top of the box. A late fracas saw Andrés Romero and Marco Di Vaio both sent off by referee Mark Geiger.

Seattle Sounders FC scored early and late and survived a red card to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 at CenturyLink Field. The home side enjoyed the better of the play in the first half and finally broke through in the 28th minute. Leo Gonzalez set off on an overlapping run down the left flank and whipped in a cross that struck the head of a Rapids defender but went right to Brad Evans, who chested it down, lined up his shot and laced it home inside the far post for his first postseason goal since 2008. Sounders FC went down a man in the 85th minute when goalkeeper Michael Gspurning inexplicably came outside of his area to deal with a long clearance and handled it, resulting in a straight red card from referee Silviu Petrescu. But Eddie Johnson eased the home fans' fears when he took a pass from Clint Dempsey inside the penalty area, beat a defender and then fired a left-footed shot inside the near post to seal the match in the 89th minute.

The LA Galaxy won their fourth MLS Cup (2002, 2005, 2011, 2012), matching D.C. United for the most of any club in league history. They became the third club in MLS history to win titles in back-to-back years (DC 1996, 1997; HOU 2005, 2006). Calen Carr gave the Dynamo the lead in the 44th minute. He was later forced from the game after suffering a knee injury. Omar Gonzalez pulled the Galaxy back into a tie with a 60th-minute goal, and was named MLS Cup MVP. He was the first defender ever to be so honored (goalkeepers have twice been named MVP). Landon Donovan scored the game-winning goal with a 65th-minute penalty kick, his fifth goal in an MLS Cup, the most of any player. He has scored in four of his six finals, by far the most of any player. Donovan also increased his postseason record goal total to 22. Robbie Keane produced the final scoreline with his conversion of a penalty kick in stoppage time. The match was the final MLS game for David Beckham, who came off for a substitute seconds before the final whistle. The two penalty kicks were an MLS Cup record; in the first 16 MLS Cup finals, there was one penalty kick goal (Josh Wolff, DC, 2004), and two penalty kicks total. Every penalty kick in MLS Cup history has occurred in Carson.

MVP: Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy)
The game’s only goal came as Landon Donovan finished off a gorgeous buildup through fellow Designated Players David Beckham and Robbie Keane, giving the Galaxy their third title in club history. It was an MLS-record 20th career postseason goal for Donovan, who was voted the game’s MVP. Donovan became the second player in league history to be named MLS Cup MVP on two occasions, also gaining the honor in 2003 with San Jose. Donovan also has four goals in five MLS Cup Finals, the most of any player. The game was played before a record Home Depot Center crowd of 30,281 that braved uncharacteristically wet and cool conditions in southern California. With the victory, the Galaxy became the second team to win MLS Cup on their home ground. It also capped a season where the Galaxy did not lose a home match in any competition, going 12-0-5 in the regular season, winning all three games in the MLS Cup Playoffs, as well all of their home matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and U.S. Open Cup. The win gave Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena the third MLS title of his storied career, while it was the first loss in Cup history for Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear, who carried four MLS titles into the game as a head coach and an assistant.

An own goal decided MLS Cup for the first time when a shot from Colorado substitute Macoumba Kandji shot deflected off FC Dallas defender George John and went into the goal at the near post for a 2-1 Rapids victory. In setting in motion the winning play, Kandji suffered a knee injury. He had to be removed from the field on a stretcher immediately after the goal, and later underwent surgery to repair a torn knee ligament. David Ferreira, named the league’s Most Valuable Player the day before the game, opened the scoring with a well-taken goal following a cross from Marvin Chavez that split the Rapids' backline. Conor Casey, who was voted MLS Cup MVP, scored from close range early in the second half to even the score. The game was the seventh MLS Cup in league history to be settled in overtime or in penalty kicks. It was the first final to be played outside the U.S., held at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the first MLS Cup for FC Dallas, the last of the Original Ten MLS teams still active to play in the championship game. It was the first MLS Cup for Colorado in 12 seasons, the longest for any club making a second trip to the MLS title game.

An MLS Cup Final was decided on penalty kicks for a second time as Real Salt Lake defeated the LA. It was the sixth MLS Cup Final to go into extra time; the Galaxy have played in five. Mike Magee scored in the first half to give the Galaxy the lead, but Robbie Findley equalized for RSL in the second half. In the penalty kick shootout, which went seven rounds, Real goalkeeper Nick Rimando made two saves and Robbie Russell converted the game-winning kick. Landon Donovan, who had gone 19-of-21 on regular season penalties, with another 2-for-2 in the playoffs, put his attempt over the crossbar. Rimando was named MLS Cup MVP, just the second goalkeeper to be named MLS Cup MVP after his performance. LA Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was injured midway through the second half and had to be replaced by in goal by Josh Saunders. It marked the first time a goalkeeper had been substituted in MLS Cup history. Real Salt Lake became the first team in MLS history to win a championship after finishing below .500 during the regular season. RSL was the fourth team to come into the final with a losing record and second in as many years. RSL's Jason Kreis became the fourth former MLS player to win as a head coach, joining Frank Yallop (2001 and 2003), Peter Nowak (2004) and Dominic Kinnear (2006, 2007).

Guillermo Barros Schelotto recorded an MLS Cup-record three assists as the Columbus Crew earned their first-ever MLS Cup with a 3-1 win against the New York Red Bulls at The Home Depot Center. Crew forward Alejandro Moreno opened the scoring in the 31st minute, slotting a tight-angled shot past Red Bulls goalkeeper Danny Cepero. New York equalized early in the second half through John Wolyniec, but Chad Marshall’s header from a Schelotto corner kick restored the Crew’s lead 87 seconds later, the third-quickest span of goals in MLS Cup history. Schelotto earned his MLS Cup-record third assist in the 82nd minute, with his pass allowing Frankie Hejduk to cap the scoring. Schelotto was named the MLS Cup Most Valuable Player for his record-setting performance, becoming the third player in league history to win league MVP honors as well as in the MLS Cup Final, joining Tony Meola (2000) and Carlos Ruiz (2002).

MVP – Dwayne De Rosario (Houston Dynamo)
For the second year in a row, the Houston Dynamo fell behind to the New England Revolution in the MLS Cup Final. And for the second year in a row, the Dynamo came back, winning MLS Cup 2007 2-1. Taylor Twellman had headed the Revolution into the lead in the 20th minute, and as the second half wore on it looked like New England might finally win their first MLS Cup. But Joseph Ngwenya stabbed home the equalizer in the 61st minute, then 13 minutes later Dwayne De Rosario snapped home a header to make the Dynamo the first back-to-back MLS champions since D.C. United in the first two years of league history. De Rosario was named the game's Most Valuable Player, the first two-time winner of the award in MLS Cup history. He was also the first player to score a second MLS Cup-winning goal, after scoring the golden goal in the 2001 final.

The Houston Dynamo claimed MLS Cup in their inaugural season, winning the first-ever MLS Cup Final to be decided on penalty kicks. The Dynamo won the shootout 4-3 after the teams played to a 1-1 draw through regulation and extra time. Each team converted three of their first four kicks. Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis had his attempt saved, Pat Noonan's skimmed over the bar, and Jay Heaps' game-ending effort skipped into the arms of Dynamo 'keeper Pat Onstad. The teams played 112 minutes of scoreless action until the Revolution finally broke through. Taylor Twellman notched his club's first goal in 346 minutes of MLS Cup play. Brian Ching answered Twellman's goal just a minute later, heading home a cross from Brian Mullan to tie the match. At 71 seconds apart, it was the second-shortest span between goals in MLS Cup history. The Dynamo won before a then-Pizza Hut Park record crowd of 22,427, the largest crowd ever to see a soccer event at the stadium, just a four-hour drive from their home.

The Los Angeles Galaxy defeated the New England Revolution in extra time for the second time in an MLS Cup Final. The game-winning goal came from Guillermo Ramirez 17 minutes into extra time, blasting home a corner kick that was punched clear. Over the season, Ramirez had 62 shots, 30 on goal – and just one goal, by far the poorest shooting ratio in any single season in MLS history. No one else had ever taken more shots with as few goals. The Revolution's only shot on goal in regulation came in the 62nd minute, the second-longest a team had gone without an on-target attempt in MLS Cup history. The longest was New England in 2002, who went the entire regulation 90 minutes without hitting the frame. The Galaxy had a Cup Final-high 25 shots. Referee Kevin Stott handed out 10 cautions in a tightly contested match – by far the most in an MLS Cup – and called 51 fouls. It also completed the domestic double for the Galaxy, winners of the U.S. Open Cup. They became the third team in MLS history to with both U.S. titles, the first since the Chicago Fire in 1998.

D.C. United won a fourth championship in nine seasons, their first since 1999, thanks to a three-goal first-half blitz led by two goals from Alecko Eskandarian. Peter Nowak won the championship in his rookie season as D.C. head coach after he had led the Chicago Fire to the 1998 MLS Cup title, the first coach in nearly a half-century in U.S. sport to win a title within a couple of years after retiring. The Wizards took the lead in the sixth minute when Jose Burciaga Jr. scored on a long-range blast. But Eskandarian scored in the 19th and 23rd minutes, awarded MLS Cup MVP honors. In the 26th minute, Alex Zotinca scored an own goal, the second in MLS Cup history. United's Dema Kovalenko became the first player sent off in an MLS Cup Final, slapping away a rebound with his hand. Josh Wolff converted the resulting penalty kick for the final margin.

The San Jose Earthquakes became the second team to win multiple MLS Cup title, winning for the second time in three seasons with a 4-2 win against the Chicago Fire. Ronnie Ekelund's free kick goal in the fifth minute matched the earliest goal in MLS Cup history. After Landon Donovan doubled the San Jose lead, there was more history as DaMarcus Beasley (Chicago) and Richard Mulrooney (San Jose) scored less than a minute apart, the shortest margin between goals in an MLS Cup. Chris Roner's own goal -- the first in MLS Cup history -- cut the lead in the 54th minute. Then in the 55th minute, Roner pulled down Chicago forward Damani Ralph and referee Brian Hall called the first penalty kick in MLS Cup history. But Ante Razov’s strike was well read by Quakes ‘keeper Pat Onstad for the save. After Donovan scored his second in the 71st minute to seal the game, captain Jeff Agoos lifted the Alan I. Rothenberg Trophy for the fifth time as MLS Cup champion, three times with United and twice with San Jose.

Carlos Ruiz gave the Los Angeles Galaxy their first MLS championship in their fourth appearance in the title game, defeating the New England Revolution 1-0 on their home turf. The opening 90 minutes without a goal marked the first occasion regulation time ended goalless in MLS Cup history. Just seconds before the match-winner, Revolution midfielder Winston Griffiths saw his long-range effort come back off the crossbar. The Revolution were limited to a single shot on goal for the match, that coming just before the end of the 90 minutes. An MLS Cup-record crowd of 61,316 attended the event at Gillette Stadium, eclipsing the former MLS Cup all-time high of 57,431 set at RFK Stadium in 1997.

Substitute Dwayne De Rosario scored a golden goal to cap a comeback and give the San Jose Earthquakes their first title at Columbus Crew Stadium. The Galaxy took the lead in the 21st minute when Luis Hernández took a long pass from Greg Vanney in the San Jose penalty area and searing right-footed shot past San Jose goalkeeper Joe Cannon. The Earthquakes scored the equalizer just before halftime. Ian Russell put in a good cross from the right corner and Landon Donovan blasting a first-time right-footed shot into the top right corner. De Rosario then scored the winner six minutes into the extra period, cutting inside from the left corner of the Galaxy penalty area and curling a right-footed shot which clipped the inside of the far right post.

Wizards goalkeeper Tony Meola capped off a remarkable season by making 10 saves. He was named the MLS Cup MVP, after he had already earned MVP, Goalkeeper and Comeback Player of the Year awards. The game's only goal came in the 11th minute. Chris Klein stormed down the right flank and sent in a low cross that Miklos Molnar slipped past Fire 'keeper Zach Thornton. Meola saved the game with several spectacular saves in the second half, including three in the final 10 minutes on Josh Wolff (82nd minute), Dema Kovalenko (83) and Hristo Stoitchkov (86).

D.C. United won their third MLS title in four years with a victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy at Foxboro Stadium. In a rematch of the inaugural MLS Cup on the same field, the Galaxy suffered a major setback after just five minutes when they lost captain Robin Fraser to a shoulder injury. United took the lead after 19 minutes. Los Angeles goalkeeper Kevin Hartman made a brilliant save on Roy Lassiter, but Jaime Moreno stepped in to poke the ball home. The second goal came when Los Angeles goalkeeper Kevin Hartman tried to clear a back-pass but misconnected, the ball rolling right to MLS Cup MVP Ben Olsen, who struck the ball first time into an empty net.

The expansion Chicago Fire ended the reign of two-time MLS champion with a victory at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Fire captain Peter Nowak set up both goals on his way to being named MLS Cup MVP. The Fire took the lead in the 29th minute when Jerzy Podbrozny tapped in a Nowak pass. The Fire doubled the lead in the 45th minute when a Nowak shot took a deflection off teammate Diego Gutierrez, changing direction to catch United goalkeeper Tom Presthus moving towards the wrong post. Chicago goalkeeper Zach Thornton frustrated D.C.'s front-runners, making eight saves, including three against United’s Roy Lassiter.

United)
D.C. United became the first back-to-back winner of MLS Cup, winning their second title in front of their home crowd at RFK Memorial Stadium. Jaime Moreno was named MLS Cup '97 MVP, opening the scoring in the 37th minute with a right-footed shot on the turn from a Tony Sanneh cross. Sanneh became the first to score in back-to-back finals, doubling the United lead in the 68th minute on a John Harkes cross. Adrian Paz set up a tense finale with a goal in the 79th minute, but United held out to the end. The final was again played in a steady downpour, yet an RFK Stadium record crowd of 57,431 attended.

United)
Eddie Pope's header from a Marco Etcheverry corner kick four minutes into extra time capped a remarkable D.C. United comeback. United trailed by two goals with 17 minutes remaining. Etcheverry set up all three United goals -- each coming on a set piece. Substitute Tony Sanneh headed home a free kick, then another substitute, Shawn Medved, scored on a rebound of a free kick saved by Galaxy goalkeeper Jorge Campos. Eduardo Hurtado scored the first goal in MLS Cup history, five minutes into the inaugural final. Chris Armas doubled the lead 10 minutes into the second half. A crowd of 34,643 at Foxboro Stadium braved the horrible weather which included 30 mph wind gusts in addition to heavy, driving rain.
