Real Salt Lake return to their Rio Tinto Stadium home to take on Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday evening. Losers of just a single game in league play, Real have played to back-to-back scoreless draws, after last Sunday’s goalless result at FC Dallas. Sounders FC are coming off a midweek loss to FC Dallas at home, which put an end to three-game unbeaten run. REFEREE: Mark Kadlecik.

In four all-time league meetings between the clubs, each team has won at home once, with a pair of draws in the other games. Both draws came last season.

Coaches record: Jason Kreis vs. SEA: P4 W1 L1 D2 … Sigi Schmid v RSL: P10 W4 L3 D3 REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake played to a second consecutive scoreless tie, this time with FC Dallas on Sunday evening at Pizza Hut Park. RSL starts the week sitting in a three-way for third place in the Western Conference, with 16 points from 7 matches. LAST MATCH

Real Salt Lake goalkeeper made three saves and FC Dallas netminder Kevin Hartman made two, each goalkeeper now with five shutouts, tied for the MLS league lead.

Once again a game was delayed at Pizza Hut Park, as referee David Gantar was forced to call a halt to the proceedings in the 83rd minute, the exact same time FCD’s match against the LA Galaxy was postponed May 1. The delay lasted an hour and 52 minutes before restarting play.

RSL coach Jason Kreis made two changes to the side that played to a scoreless draw with the Houston Dynamo at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tony Beltran came in for Robbie Russell at right back and Andy Williams replaced Collen Warner in the midfield.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Ned Grabavoy, Kyle Beckerman, Will Johnson - Andy Williams (Collen Warner 72) - Arturo Alvarez (Jean Alexandre 81), Alvaro Saborio.

TEAM NEWS While Real Salt Lake played to a second consecutive scoreless draw at FC Dallas, they have still allowed just

two goals on the season through eight games. That has tied the mark for the lowest total conceded through eight matches to start a MLS season, drawing even with last year’s edition of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

A year ago, when RSL set an all-time MLS record with just 20 goals allowed on the season (in 30 games), they allowed nine through the first eight games.


“At the moment, we need to start really trying to focus on the positive things,” Kreis said. “So to get our first point here, to get another shutout – against a team that’s shown to be very, very dangerous on the counterattack – is a good thing for us.”

Real came away from Pizza Hut Park with a result for the first time ever. They had lost every one of their previous nine visits in league and MLS Cup play.

“Every time we come here, I feel like I’m living a nightmare,” Kreis said. “I’m in the locker room here, and I’m mad, and I spend all night trying to figure out, why can’t we play well in Dallas. At least, now we have the result.”

While goalkeeper Nick Rimando, not unexpectedly, is tied for the MLS shutout lead with five (along with FC Dallas ‘keeper Kevin Hartman), a larger factor could be the RSL team defense. Real have allowed just 75 shots against, by far the fewest in MLS this season (New York is next, with 95 shots against).

“The (shot Rimando) dug out in the left corner was phenomenal. It’s critical. When you’re not playing your best you need two things – a resilient effort and guys in back to make plays. We’ve been getting a lot of the latter lately,” Kreis said.

In a second game after losing playmaker Javier Morales to a fractured leg, Kreis opted for Andy Williams in the central midfield role, in place of Collen Warner.

"It's difficult," Kreis said. "Some of that's because Javier is a special player. Another part of it is that at a different point in the season, we're maybe a little more confident. I think everybody would tell you we're not at our best right now. We're all just not quite at our best. We need to push things along, move forward and have confidence that we're going to be at our best."

After maintaining the same back four for consecutive games, Tony Beltran returned at right back in place of Robbie Russell. Beltran had started four of the first five league games this season. "Tony had a strong game," Kreis said. "Tony's a player that we feel has been playing really well lately."

RSL could be shorthanded for some time to come. Alvaro Saborio and Arturo Alvarez have already left for their respective national teams for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Paulo Junior is expected to be out another month with a hip flexor injury, and Collen Warner suffered a sprained ankle and a shoulder injury against FC Dallas.

With the dearth of attacking options, in training this week Kreis tried Jean Alexandre up top. "We have obviously some questions to answer this week," Kreis said to the Salt Lake Tribune.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC saw their unbeaten run come to an end at three games, falling 1-0 to FC Dallas on Wednesday at Qwest Field. Sounders FC have 17 points from 13 games on the season, sitting in a four-way for third place in the Western Conference. LAST MATCH

The game's lone goal came in the 17th minute. Andrew Jacobson slotted a pass through the heart of the Sounders FC defense, perfectly into the stride of Brek Shea, and he finished calmly past Kasey Keller inside the right post.

Kevin Hartman had four saves as Sounders FC uncorked a season-high in shots, but FC Dallas extended their shutout streak to a club-record 489 minutes, the best streak in MLS this season.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made four changes to the team that claimed a 1-0 win against Sporting Kansas City at Qwest Field. Zach Scott and Leo Gonzalez came into the back four for James Riley and Tyson Wahl, Erik Friberg entered the midfield for Servando Carrasco, and Mike Fucito started up top for Roger Levesque.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-1-3-2): Kasey Keller - Zach Scott, Jeff Parke, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Leo Gonzalez - Osvaldo Alonso - Erik Friberg, Mauro Rosales (Lamar Neagle 83), Alvaro Fernandez (Roger Levesque 64) - Fredy Montero (Nate Jaqua 75), Mike Fucito.

TEAM NEWS Sounders FC were shut out for the first time since they opened the season with back-to-back shutout

losses to the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls. “Guys do need to step up,” Sigi Schmid said. “They need to step up and score goals when we get a chance.

We can't take extra touches in the box. We've got to get things the first time. Sometimes we can't do a cutback … when we try to take two or three touches, and try to get the perfect shot – perfect shots don't happen. You've got to put the ball in the back of the net."

Forward Mike Fucito made his first career league start, and had a Sounders FC season-high with three shots on target from five total attempts at goal.

“Fucito is finally fit and ready to go, and we thought he deserved a chance because we thought his speed would give them some problems and he did," said Schmid.

Erik Friberg returned to the lineup after missing a couple of games to injury, while Mauro Rosales was able to start a second game in a row after missing out on four starts to injury.


“We need 11 guys out there on the field who are all going to fight and battle at the same time. And also who are going to make good decisions,” Schmid said. “ … Friberg was healthy and he was starting before he was healthy, so that's why he returns to the lineup.”

Leo Gonzalez also made just his second start over the last seven league games after starting the first six of the season, while Zach Scott made just his second start of the season, his first since March 25.

“We thought in this particular game that Zach Scott was going to be a good matchup for Brek Shea, because they like to hit long balls and balls in the air to him. We thought that was going to be a better matchup than [James] Riley, which it was,” Schmid said. “We wanted to stay fresh on the outside as well, because we have a game on Saturday.”

It was a second consecutive game without a goal or an assist for designated player Fredy Montero, who had two goals and three assists in the previous six games, from April 16 to May 14. "He needs to score. End of story. He needs to score. That's what he's paid to do. He needs to score. He's a good enough player. He knows that," Schmid said.

After taking four points from three consecutive home games, Sounders FC now hit the road for back-to-back road games.

"You want to get points at home. You want to get wins. To lose to a team at home is always frustrating. It's not good. Now we've got to go on the road and get a result, get a win in Salt Lake," said Nate Jaqua.

HOMESTAND CONTINUES AT RIO TINTO: Real

Salt Lake resumes its homestand Saturday vs. Seattle Sounders FC after earning its first-ever Pizza Hut Park result last Sunday in a 0-0 draw at FC Dallas … The scoreless draw last weekend was the 20

th in RSL‟s

238-game history, and the back-to-back scoreless draws the last two weeks vs HOU and @ DAL are the first in nearly four years, since 5/27 & 6/2 of 2007 in road games @ NE and @ CHI, Jason Kreis‟ 4

the RSL helm … RSL has not scored in 183 minutes entering the Seattle match, yet has not conceded a goal in 338 minutes, Kenny Cooper scoring in the 22

nd

min during the 0-1 loss @ POR on April 30 …

Midweek, Seattle lost 0-1 at home to Dallas and West-leading Los Angeles also won 1-0 over Houston … With those results, RSL now sits four points behind 2

nd-place

Dallas despite four games in hand, and nine points back of LA with SIX games in hand over the Galaxy … RSL remains the lone MLS team to average above two points per game, with its 2.13 PPG average … Saturday’s game between RSL and Seattle kicks off at 7:00 p.m. MT and will air live nationwide via the MLS Direct Kick Package and also on RSL‟s official radio partners – ESPN 700 Sports Radio and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM / Juan 106.1 FM …

DOUBTFUL: n/a

QUESTIONABLE: FW Donny Toia (L ankle sprain)

PROBABLE: MF Collen Warner (L ankle sprain); FW Fabian Espindola (R hamstring strain / back muscle spasms);

HOME COOKING, COMIN’ RIGHT UP: RSL‟s run of

four MLS contests out of five that will be played at the team’s Rio Tinto Stadium home could extend the club‟s 29-game MLS unbeaten streak at home … In the 28 days from May 7 – June 4, RSL hosts Chivas (1-0 W), Houston (0-0 T), Seattle and Vancouver, a home stretch broken only by last week‟s travel to Dallas … On June 8/11, RSL travels to Columbus and Philadelphia in a Wed/Sat East Coast run, then returns to Rio Tinto Stadium on June 18 vs. D.C. United before a midweek encounter at Chicago on June 22 … Then Rio Tinto Stadium again sees a massive stretch of home games, as RSL hosts six of its 8 MLS games from June 25 to August 6 on the Wasatch Front … Visitors in that period include TOR, NE, DAL, SJ, CLB and NY … On top of that stretch of 11 of 17 MLS games at home in May/June/July, RSL has the potential to host two additional games in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tourney, on June 28 and July 12 …

CLEAN SHEET CRAZINESS FOR RSL: RSL GK

Nick Rimando recorded his 79th career shutout, 43 of

which have now come in the RSL Claret-and-Cobalt … Rimando has five of RSL‟s six MLS clean sheets in 2011 (Reynish, April 9 @ NE) … Rimando also had two shutouts in CONCACAF play earlier this year at Columbus and vs. Saprissa … Rimando brings a 338-minute shutout streak into this weekend, the 3

rd longest current run in MLS

(Hartman, DAL, 489; Hesmer, CLB, 414) …


RECORD-SETTING DEFENSE: RSL has allowed just

two goals in its first eight MLS games this season for a stellar average of 0.25 GAA, which would project to just 8 ½ goals total over a 34-game season … The only two goals conceded by the RSL defense this year were Juan Pablo Angel‟s 81‟ rebound in RSL‟s 4-1 win over LA on March 26, and the Cooper goal on April 30 @ POR … This season‟s torrid pace matches the Galaxy‟s stinginess a year ago, as Donovan Ricketts and LA allowed just two goals during their first eight games as well … The fewest goals allowed through 8 / 9 & 10 games in MLS history:

1999 Dallas Burn 4 5 6 35

Last year, RSL allowed just 20 goals in the 30-game regular season, setting a new standard in MLS annals and breaking the 2007 Houston Dynamo‟s record …

METROPLEX MISERY TEMPERED FOR RSL: Real

Salt Lake and FC Dallas settled for a 0-0 draw last week in a match delayed nearly two hours due to severe thunderstorms … RSL earned a point in Dallas for the first time in 10 all-time attempts, while the contest was the third in team history to be affected by a lightning delay … Back on June 28, 2006 at Chicago, a pair of Chad Barrett goals in the final 10 minutes following a lengthy second half delay allowed the Fire to down RSL 2-1 … Last June 9 at Rio Tinto Stadium, a first-half stoppage against the Los Angeles Galaxy might have helped RSL stop the visitors‟ momentum, as a Javier Morales goal in the 80

th minute

lifted RSL to a 1-0 win and snapped LA‟s season-starting 12-game undefeated streak … The match marked the longest in Real Salt Lake‟s seven-year history, the three-hour, 43-minute affair easily beating the previously delayed contests at Chicago (2:46) and against Los Angeles (2:29) …

FC DALLAS STREAK-SNAPPERS: During last

year‟s MLS Cup title defense, RSL dropped just two of its final 26 league games after May 1, posting a mark of 14-2-10 and outscoring opponents 39-14 – with the lone losses both coming at Dallas on July 17 and Oct. 30 … Prior to the first DAL loss, RSL was enjoying a 10-game unbeaten streak in MLS play, while another streak – 14 games without a loss – was snapped in Leg 1 of the West Semifinal Series at Dallas …

HISTORY v SEATTLE: Real Salt Lake has posted a 1-

1-2 mark against Seattle all-time in MLS play, with both teams holding serve at home in 2009, and splitting the points in draws last year … Also in 2009, Seattle defeated RSL 4-1 in a U.S. Open Cup qualifier, a season that ended with the Sounders winning the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and RSL winning MLS Cup – at Qwest Field … At Rio Tinto Stadium last year, RSL earned a come-from-behind, 2-2 draw for RSL in its home opener, as the players received their MLS Cup rings and the championship banner was raised … Costa Rican FW Álvaro Saborío headed home a corner kick from MF Nelson González in the waning seconds of RSL‟s home opener vs. Seattle for his first MLS goal, earning a 2-2 draw for his new side … Saborío entered the game in the 78

th minute for FW Robbie Findley, nearly knotting the

game with a header in the 80th minute that went inches

wide … In the 53rd

minute, MF Will Johnson struck home a superb cross from DF Robbie Russell, his diving header at the top of the six-yard box beating Sounders GK Kasey Keller and knotting the score at 1-1 …

Back in 2009, it was RSL GK Nick Rimando doing it all in the 1-0 home win over Seattle, notching his fifth shutout of the season while also collecting his sixth career assist on Robbie Findley‟s game-winner, tying him with Marcus Hahnemann for the most by a netminder in MLS history …

LAST MEETING – RSL 0 : 0 SEA: A stout defensive

effort by RSL earned a hard-fought road point from a 0-0 draw with Seattle in front of 36,078 at Qwest Field last September … In RSL‟s first visit back to Seattle since its championship triumph, the visitors continued their record-setting defensive pace, the team collecting its 12th shutout of the season despite missing four regular starters due to injury or suspension … The game marked the MLS debut for DF Chris Schuler, who played a standout 90 minutes next to Nat Borchers in place of Jamison Olave, who missed his first game of the year due to disciplinary reasons (caution accumulation) … The rookie out of Creighton had previously played only 62 minutes in an RSL uniform during RSL‟s 1-2 (AET) defeat at D.C. United in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open qualifying action on June 2, 2010 … The match also marked just the second career start in League play for GK Kyle Reynish, who stepped in for regular starter Nick Rimando, who sat out due to a slight Achilles strain … The shutout was the first in professional action for the fourth-year pro and former national champion out of UC Santa Barbara … Seattle GK Kasey Keller‟s save on FW Robbie Findley‟s penalty kick attempt in the 32

nd minute marked the first PK

miss in regulation play for RSL since May 31, 2008 vs. San Jose (Morales), snapping an 8-for-8 streak across all competitions …


FORTRESS RIO TINTO STADIUM BREACHED:

With RSL‟s 0-0 draw at home May 14 against Houston, the team continued its MLS home unbeaten streak, now at 29 games and counting … In late April, the 0-1 CCL loss to Monterrey (MEX) last week snapped the club’s overall home unbeaten run at 37 games across MLS, CCL and exhibition play … While that loss dropped RSL to 5-1-0 at home in CONCACAF play, the team remains 19-0-8 in MLS regular season, 1-0-1 playoffs and 2-0-1 in international exhibitions … The aggregate scoreline in those games?: 77-19 …

RMC TIES: The June 6, 2009 Fox Soccer Channel

telecast went to multiple commercial breaks during Elder Gonzalez‟ lengthy “consecration” of the field, much to the disdain of current Rapids‟ coach Gary Smith … RSL‟s all-time home mark PRIOR to Elder Gonzalez' "consecration" – just 25-21-19 … AFTER Elder Gonzalez' June 6, 2009 prayer at Rio Tinto Stadium – now 28 wins, 0 losses, 11 ties … Real Salt Lake Year-by-Year Home Results (Regular Season) 2005: 5-8-3 (.406) 18 pts. 19 GF / 24 GA (-5 GD) 2006: 6-4-6 (.563) 24 pts. 23 GF / 19 GA (+4 GD) 2007: 4-7-4 (.400) 16 pts. 18 GF / 22 GA (-4 GD) 2008: 8-1-6 (.733) 30 pts. 24 GF / 10 GA (+14 GD) 2009: 9-1-5 (.750) 32 pts. 34 GF / 11 GA (+23 GD) 2010: 11-0-4 (.867) 37 pts. 31 GF / 7 GA (+24 GD) 2011: 3-0-1 (0.875) 10 pts. 6 GF / 1 GA (+5 GD) CAREER: 46-21-29 (.630) 155 GF / 94 GA (+61 GD)

Including the current 29-game MLS unbeaten streak at Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL has dropped just 4 of its last 58 home games (37-4-17) across MLS regular season / playoff and CONCACAF play dating back to the start of 2008 … Prior to that, RSL was 15-19-13 on Utah soil in MLS competition, with a -5 goal differential (60 GF / 65 GA) from 2005-07 …The last home loss? May 16, 2009, an 0-2 loss vs. the Kansas City Wizards … The 2010 RSL side was just the 2

nd MLS team to remain

unbeaten at home in an entire season, joining the 2005 SJ Earthquakes (9-0-7) … Since June „09, RSL is 20-0-8 at home in regular-season play, the longest such run in League history: TEAM # START STOP

rd consecutive season, qualifying for

Playoffs and eventually winning MLS Cup and paving way to CCL participation; Biggest Crowd: 3/26/11 v LA – a RioT record of 20,507 saw RSL score twice in first 10 minutes en route to a 3-0 halftime lead and an eventual 4-1 win over David Beckham and the L.A. Galaxy, despite the FIFA date and a Jazz home game; Loudest Crowd: 4/10/10 v SEA – 19,970 were on hand as newcomer Álvaro Saborío headed home a Nelson Gonzalez corner kick three minutes into 2

nd half stoppage time to salvage a

2-2 draw in RSL’s 2010 home opener, a match that included a pre-game banner raising and ring ceremony to commemorate the teams’ MLS Cup 2009 win; Cutting it close: 7/3/09 v SJ – stoppage time OG by Earthquakes’ Chris Leitch gives RSL a 1-1 tie; 4/13/11 v COL – 93’ goal by Fabian Espindola gives RSL 1-0 win Best Comeback: 7/24/09 v DAL – Four second-half goals erase 0-2 halftime deficit; GK Nick Rimando saves Cunningham PK, Kreis ejected; Outscored opponents 59-13, with 16 different scorers: (Findley 9, Saborío 9, Morales 7, Espindola 6, Movsisyan 5, Olave 4, Grabavoy 4, Williams 3, Beckerman 2, Johnson 2, Russell, Campos, Gonzalez, Borchers, Mathis, Paulo Jr.; Own Goals – 2)


EMERALD CITY CONNECTIONS: Real Salt Lake

and Seattle feature highly-touted players that arrived from Colombian powerhouse side Deportivo Cali … RSL DF Jamison Olave and Seattle FW Fredy Montero will again renew acquaintances, as both players spent time with Deportivo Cali across the 2004, 2005, and 2007 seasons … A third player, Sounders FC DF Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, also joined the MLS ranks from the “Verdiblancos,” as the Colombian defender played alongside Montero at Deportivo Cali during its 2008 Copa Mustang season …

FIVE FOR FIGHTING AIN’T BAD: Despite the pall

cast over RSL‟s recent week‟s with the CONCACAF Final loss and the long-term injury to Javier Morales, Jason Kreis wants to remind his locker room, as well as the fans and media interested in MLS that the team’s 5-1-2 record and 2.13 points-per-game average are MLS-best marks of which RSL should be proud … The team‟s +7 goal differential (9 GF / 2 GA) equals only New York‟s +7, although the Red Bulls have played 270 more minutes … In current MLS standings, RSL trails 1

st-place Los

Angeles by just six points, despite RSL playing FIVE FEWER GAMES than the 6-2-5 Galaxy … RSL‟s five wins in its first eight games is a historically positive start for a team that finished 5-22-5 in its inaugural 2005 season, and one that has also had a six-win season (2007) and a pair of 10-win seasons (2006, 2008) … In the team‟s three previous playoff years, it did not record its fifth win until May 22 (2010), June 27 (2009) and June 22 (2008) …

SIGHTS NOW SET ON U.S. OPEN CUP: Now that

the team‟s foray in the 2010/11 CONCACAF tourney is complete, RSL will play 11 league matches from April 30 – June 25 before participating in another non-MLS competition in 2011, advancing automatically into the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 by virtue of its #2 overall MLS regular-season finish last year … For the first time since 2006, RSL will not have to participate in MLS “qualifiers” for the Open Cup … Due to the team‟s CCL run this Spring, along with the new 34-game MLS regular season and the Open Cup advancement, RSL is guaranteed to play at least 41 games during the 2011 calendar year before the playoffs, one shy of last year‟s club-record total of 42 games played …

GOLD CUP ABSENCES AFFECT RSL: Four

members of the Real Salt Lake roster – Arturo Alvarez (El Salvador), Will Johnson (Canada), Nick Rimando (United States) and Álvaro Saborío (Costa Rica) – have been named to their respective national team rosters in advance of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, taking place across the United States from June 5-25 …

Both Alvarez and Saborío departed the RSL camp following last week‟s game to join their teams ahead of warm-up friendlies this weekend, while Johnson will stay with the Claret-and-Cobalt through the SEA clash before reporting to the Canadian side … Rimando will remain with his RSL teammates and serve “on call” for U.S. Men‟s National Team head coach Bob Bradley as the squad‟s third goalkeeper during the three-week tournament … Alvarez and Saborio see their teams face off on June 9, as El Salvador plays Costa Rica in Charlotte, while Johnson and Rimando could see each other when Canada plays the United States on June 7 in Detroit … Real Salt Lake will go without the services of its Gold Cup participants for at least its next four MLS matches against Seattle (May 28), Vancouver (June 4), at Columbus (June 8) and at Philadelphia (June 11) during group play … In addition, RSL will potentially miss a portion of the quartet for additional home contests on June 18 against D.C. United and June 25 against Toronto FC during the Gold Cup‟s knockout phase … Arturo Alvarez – El Salvador

Alvarez joins the El Salvador National Team for the third time in 2011, following his five appearances for La Selecta in January‟s Copa Centroamericana – during which he helped El Salvador qualify for the Gold Cup via a fourth-place finish in the seven-team field – and in a pair of friendlies at Cuba and against Jamaica in late March … The 25-year-old product of the U.S. Youth National Team system has now registered 16 “caps” in the white-and-blue of El Salvador since making his debut for the side in 2009 …

Will Johnson – Canada

At just the age of 24, Johnson has recently become a mainstay in the Canadian first-choice line-up, earning 15 caps for the Maple Leafs since his senior team debut at the age of 18 back in November 2005. Johnson‟s most recent appearances for Canada both came on the European continent, as the midfielder earned starting nods for coach Stephen Hart‟s side in friendlies at Greece on Feb. 9 (0-1 L) and against Belarus in Turkey on March 29 (1-0 W).

Nick Rimando – United States

Thanks to his standout performances for the Claret-and-Cobalt in recent seasons, Rimando has become Bradley‟s MLS-based goalkeeper of choice following a six-year hiatus from national team duty … The 31-year-old‟s most recent cap – his fifth for the Red, White & Blue – came back on Jan. 22, when he notched a shutout first 45 minutes in the USA‟s 1-1 draw with Chile in a friendly at The Home Depot Center, following his stint in the USA‟s annual January training camp in Southern California … Rimando, one of seven MLS players on the 23-man USA Gold Cup roster, has compiled a 2-0-0 record and 0.29 GAA (1 goal allowed in 315 minutes) in his five contests with the U.S.‟s senior side …

Álvaro Saborío – Costa Rica

A focal point in attack for the Ticos for several years, Saborío‟s international resume continues to grow having bagged 22 goals across 64 appearances at the senior level since his debut in 2004 … A veteran of both the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 World Cup, Saborío recently celebrated his 29th birthday in style by scoring the first-ever goal in the inaugural match at the new Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San Jose during a friendly against China on March 26 … His most recent cap came three days later at Estadio Nacional, when he logged the full 90 minutes against global powerhouse Argentina in a 0-0 draw …


SABORIO GOAL DROUGHT: While it was last year‟s

home game vs. Houston that marked the Costa Rican striker Saborio‟s coming out party – the first of five multi-goal performances en route to his total of 18 goals in 32 games across MLS and CCL play in 2010 – Sabo has not found the back of the net in 2011 since March 15 … The last time RSL‟s leading scorer struck was in the 8

th minute

of an eventual 2-0 win in the first leg of the CCL semifinal against his former Saprissa club … On three separate occasions last year, Sabo went three consecutive games without scoring, his longest droughts of the year … So far in 2011, he has gone seven consecutive MLS games without finding the back of the net, along with three consecutive CCL games, the total of 10 scoreless matches nearly tripling his longest goalless famine from last year …

ITS NOT JUST HIM: The back-to-back shutouts

suffered on April 27 (0-1 v. Monterrey) and April 30 (0-1 @ POR) marked the first time RSL has failed to score in consecutive games in nearly two years, as the team actually went three straight MLS games without scoring back in May of 2009, a drought that started with an 0-1 loss @ Chivas … RSL‟s last clean sheet suffered prior to recent weeks was back on Feb. 22 @ Columbus, when it went down to 9 men for much of the first leg of the CCL quarterfinal … Last year, RSL was held scoreless only 7 times in 42 MLS & CCL games … Overall, RSL has been held without scoring only 12 times in its last 58 games, dating back to the 2009 Eastern Conference Final at Chicago …

GOOSE EGG RARE AT HOME FOR RSL: The April

27 shutout loss to Monterrey (MEX) was eerily reminiscent of the club‟s 0-1 loss at Rio Tinto Stadium back in November of 2008 in the Western Conference Final against New York, allowing a goal against the run of play and pressing forward to no avail for long stretches of a dominant second half … These two heartbreaking losses in knockout competitions – denying RSL the chance to raise a trophy at home in front of its fans – highlight the now six occasions that RSL has been blanked by opponents at Rio Tinto Stadium … Since losing 0-2 to Kansas City on May 16, 2009, RSL has also endured a trio of scoreless draws at home, the last one prior to the May 14 Houston game coming back on June 25, 2010, against San Jose … In addition to being the highest-scoring team in MLS last year (45 goals in 30 League matches), RSL was the 2

nd

highest-scoring team in 2010/11 CCL Group Stage, with 17 goals in six games (2.83/game), behind only Santos Laguna (MEX) … Including the Monterrey CCL Final series, RSL has outscored opponents 18-8 in a total of 12 contests this season …

LATE DRAMA PART OF RSL DNA: MF Will

Johnson‟s 87‟ game-winning goal vs. Chivas two weeks ago marked the 16

th all-time go-ahead scored by RSL in

the final 15 minutes of a regular-season MLS or CCL game … Two of the three RSL goals scored prior to that – Espindola‟s 93+ game-winner v COL and Morales‟ late equalizer at Monterrey – also meet the dramatic criteria … All-time lists for equalizers and GWG (active players in bold; last 30 games in red):

DEFENSE FIRST: While RSL was the highest-scoring

team in MLS last year with 45 goals in 30 games for an average of 1.50 goals/game, defense takes precedence in Jason Kreis‟ system … Just last year, RSL amassed two of the top 5 shutout streaks in MLS history:

CONSECUTIVE MINUTES WITHOUT ALLOWING GOAL

TEAM MIN START END Houston Dynamo 727 6/10/2007 7/22/2007 Kansas City Wizards 681 4/19/2000 5/27/2000 Real Salt Lake 568 8/11/2010 9/25/2010

Real Salt Lake 567 5/29/2010 7/17/2010 Los Angeles Galaxy 521 6/17/2006 7/22/2006

BUT DOES IT WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS?: Real Salt

Lake was one of four 2010 MLS teams – RSL (0.67 goals per game), LA Galaxy (0.87), FC Dallas (0.93) and the New York Red Bulls (0.97) – to allow less than a goal per game … Prior to 2010, just seven teams total in league history boasted < 1.00 GAA, two of which won it all (KC – 2000 & HOU – 2007) …


MAYDAY, MAYDAY: 12-MONTH RUN OF

SUCCESS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS: Despite the pair

of difficult 0-1 losses vs. Monterrey and at Portland in the last week of April, Real Salt Lake performed exceptionally in the 45 games played between May 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, losing only six times in that stretch, the rough equivalent of a season-and-a-half … Across MLS regular season, MLS Cup Playoff and CONCACAF Champions League games, Jason Kreis‟ team posted an impressive mark of 26-6-13 and outscored opponents 75-33 since May 1, 2010 … RSL would have earned 91 points in this stretch … The MLS equivalents: (reg.-season games only) TEAM GAME 1 GAME 45 PTS

Los Angeles Galaxy 7/04/1997 9/02/1998 95

D.C. United 5/21/2005 7/22/2006 91

Chicago Fire 6/04/2000 9/01/2001 90 Prior to last April 30 at Portland, the lone MLS losses both came on the road at Dallas on July 17 and Oct. 30 (playoffs), sandwiched around the bizarre 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul … The fourth loss could hardly considered a setback, as that was the 1-2 decision at Saprissa which enabled RSL advanced to the CCL Final … RSL then dropped the 0-1 home game to Monterrey to snap the 37-game “all-competition” Rio Tinto Stadium streak …

SHEDDING THE “ROAD WOE” REPUTATION:

The nine-game RSL road run that was snapped at Portland on April 30 was tied for the second longest in MLS annals, even with the 2004 Columbus Crew and 2007-08 Chicago Fire and trailing only last year‟s FC Dallas mark of 12 straight without a loss from May 1 – Sept. 25, 2010… This recent run of road success – marred by the playoff loss @DAL, yet enhanced by road results @ Columbus, @ Saprissa and @ Monterrey in CCL play – marks the team‟s first-ever nine-game undefeated streak away from home, placing the squad‟s all-time regular season road mark at 16-56-23 (.288; 87 GF / 161 GA) … Since Kreis took over, RSL‟s MLS road mark is 12-32-18, with the four road wins in 2010 doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … Four games down, 13 to go in 2011 …

TURF WOES: The Timbers loss dropped RSL‟s all-time

turf mark to 2-8-5 all-time in regular-season road matches (both wins coming at Gillette Stadium vs. NE in the last 6 months) on the fake stuff, outscored 10-23 on aggregate … Despite playing on the hardened Rice-Eccles turf for nearly four seasons, the historic MLS Cup 2009 result at Qwest Field was RSL’s first-ever win on an artificial surface on the road in the team‟s five-year history to that point, although that game is officially recorded as a 1-1 draw decided on PKs … In 2005, RSL also dropped a U.S. Open Cup game at Minnesota on turf by a 4-6 scoreline …

TIME FOR A NEW STREAK: In Major League

Soccer‟s 16-year history, there have been 25 double-digit unbeaten regular-season streaks for its teams … Real Salt Lake’s historic 2010 season saw the squad amass runs of both 10 and 14 games, with the mid-April win vs. Colorado extending the latter streak to 18 games without a loss, one of the top three streaks in MLS history, just one game shy of matching the League standard … A year ago, FC Dallas matched the Columbus Crew’s 19-game run by not losing for 4 ½ months, then saw it crash to a halt by dropping an 0-2 decision at Rio Tinto Stadium … Dallas had the last laugh, however, ousting RSL in the teams‟ first-round MLS Cup Playoff matchup with a 3-2 aggregate win in October … The list:

MORALES A MARKED MAN IN MLS: Since arriving

in MLS back in August of 2007, the Argentine playmaker Javier Morales has played 116 games for RSL (93 MLS regular-season, 8 playoff, 3 Open Cup, 12 CCL) … During that time, he has been the most-fouled player in the League (reg. season only), an indicator of his role in RSL‟s possession game as well as the target on his back by opposing defenses … The list:

Most Fouls Suffered since 8/29/2007:

Javier Morales - RSL 211

Alejandro Moreno - CLB 199

Eddie Gaven - CLB 189

Robbie Rogers - CLB 172

Guillermo Barros Schelotto - CLB 163


ALL-TIME RESULTS, WITHOUT JAVIER: Since the

talismanic Argentine Javier Morales‟ arrival on the Wasatch Front, RSL has played 27 MLS regular-season/playoff, CCL or Open Cup games without its playmaker, posting an 11-8-8 overall mark … Head Coach Jason Kreis‟ team has gone 8-7-6 in MLS reg. season play, 0-0-1 Playoff, 3-0-0 in CONCACAF and 0-1-1 in Open Cup sans Javi … Since the beginning of the 2009 season, that record is 9-5-6, including a surprising ability to score 2+ goals in 10 of those 20 games without Javier … The breakdown:

SEEING RED, BUT TO LITTLE ADVANTAGE:

Back on May 7, Real Salt Lake saw an opponent hit with multiple red cards for the third time in the team’s 190-game MLS regular-season history, with the 65-minute span with at least a one-man advantage the longest in club annals … For an incredible amount of 49 minutes, RSL enjoyed a TWO-MAN advantage over Chivas USA, playing 11-v-9 in deadlocked fashion prior to Will Johnson’s victory-clinching goal in the 87

th minute … On only one

prior occasion – Oct. 18, 2008, in the 2nd

-ever game at Rio Tinto Stadium – had RSL enjoyed a 2-man advantage over its opponent, but that was just for stoppage time of the team‟s 3-1 victory over FC Dallas, a game known primarily for Johnson‟s 2008 MLS Goal of the Year blast …

OTHER RED CARD MISCELLANY: In its history, RSL

has never played with just nine men due to disciplinary issues, and has even scored FOUR short-handed goals (Jason Kreis, 7/4/05 v. NY; Chris Klein & Kreis, 9/16/06 v. DAL; and a Chris Leitch own-goal on 7/3/09 v. SJ) … On 25 occasions, RSL opponents have been subject to ejection, giving the Claret-and-Cobalt a total of 424 minutes with a man-advantage … During those minutes, RSL has seen a +9 goal difference … On the other hand, RSL has been victim of 28 red cards, succumbing to a -8 goal difference in a total of 537 minutes playing a man down … Incredibly, SIX of those eight goals came in one game, the 0-6 loss @NY in August 2006 when DF Jack Stewart was tossed in the 8

th

minute … in that game, RSL made it to halftime tied 0-0, but allowed an Edson Buddle hat trick in a 21-minute span of the 2

nd half, with another three goals scored during the

final 45 minutes …

VICTORY … ERR, EQUALITY GOLD KITS?: RSL

wore its so-called “Victory Gold” 3rd

kits for the fourth time in team history at Dallas last week, earning road draws on each occasions … Last year, RSL drew 1-1 @KC and @PHI in a pair of August games in the Real Gold uniforms, while in this season‟s lone previous display of sartorial splendor, Jason Kreis‟ team drew 2-2 at Monterrey in the first leg of the 2010/11 CCL Final …


RSL “BRACING” FOR SUCCESS: With MF Javier

Morales‟ two-goal „brace‟ on March 26 vs LA, RSL has now seen 18 of its 27 multi-goal performances occur at home in its 192-game MLS regular-season game and 12-game CCL history … Morales trails Álvaro Saborío and Jeff Cunningham (both at 5) and ties Robbie Findley with four “braces,” while Yura Movsisyan (2) and one each by Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Jason Kreis, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and Fabian Espíndola have also scored 2 or more times in a game … When an RSL player scores 2 or more goals in a game, the team has posted a 19-2-4 all-time mark … Besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul, when was the lone MLS loss? … June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown‟s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 loss: G Player Date Opponent Result

*CONCACAF Champions League

KREIS CONTRACT EXTENDED THRU 2013: On

March 24, RSL President Bill Manning and GM Garth Lagerwey announced that the club has extended by two years the contract of current Head Coach Jason Kreis, keeping the youngest MLS Cup-winning manager in League history on the RSL sideline through the completion of the 2013 season … All-time, Kreis now owns a 52-44-36 mark in MLS regular-season, playoff and CONCACAF Champions League play …

Under Kreis‟ leadership, RSL became the first-ever MLS team (and one of just three non-Mexican teams) to win a CONCACAF group, posting a 4-1-1 mark and becoming the first-ever MLS side to advance CCL Final … The former striker‟s 2010 side was also the second-highest-scoring team in CONCACAF‟s group stage, with 17 goals in six games (2.83 goals/game) … During MLS play in 2010, the following numbers established by RSL set or tied new single-season league standards: fewest goals allowed (20), overall goal differential (+25), total home points (37), fewest home losses (0) and fewest home goals allowed (7). In addition to those league benchmarks, last year‟s edition set franchise-high records in wins (15), goals (45), scoring output (1.50/game), points (56), shutouts (15), road points (19) and road goal differential (+1) … The author of 108 MLS goals during his playing career with Dallas (1996-2004) and Real Salt Lake (2005-07), Kreis abruptly retired just four games into the 2007 MLS season in order to become RSL‟s second-ever head coach, replacing John Ellinger … With that move, Kreis became just the eighth person in the history of the five major U.S. sports leagues to serve as a head coach while holding his league‟s career scoring record (and only the third athlete in the post-World War II era) … The first MLS player to break the century mark in goals scored, Kreis‟ 108 total goals scored still rank fourth behind Jaime Moreno (131), Jeff Cunningham (130) and Ante Razov (114) heading into the 2011 season … At the time of his hire, Kreis became the youngest active head coach in MLS at 34 years and 127 days of age … Kreis, Lagerwey and the team‟s coaching staff – Jeff Cassar, Miles Joseph and C.J. Brown – compose the lone technical staff among MLS‟ 18 teams comprised entirely of ex-MLS players … This distinction means that the RSL braintrust now boasts cumulative MLS experience of 71,242 total minutes, covering 902 games and including 126 goals and 22 shutouts (the equivalent of nearly 30 complete seasons of service) …

* RSL advances 3-2 on aggregate

RSL’S INTERNATIONAL HISTORY: With the late

April 0-1 loss to Monterrey in the 2010/11 CONCACAF Final, RSL is now 12-7-6 all-time in international contests, with a positive goal differential (43 goals for / 33 goals against) … In meaningful int‟l competition, RSL is now 6-3-3 (26 GF / 17 GA) … In the Jason Kreis era, RSL falls to 8-3-2 vs. visiting international squads (does NOT include Toronto FC league matches; however, DOES include CCL games vs Columbus) …

HOW DOES RSL GET BACK IN?: RSL probably

won‟t play another international side – exhibition or otherwise – until the 2012/13 CONCACAF tourney, which it could only qualify for through the following domestic-based mechanisms: U.S. Open Cup winner, 2011 MLS Supporters Shield winner, or MLS Cup 2011 participant … Had RSL defeated Dallas in last year‟s MLS Cup Playoff series, or even had Los Angeles advanced in place of Dallas to MLS Cup – RSL would have qualified for this year‟s CONCACAF Champions League due to LA essentially owning “dual” slots (Supp. Shield / Cup participant) and RSL finishing #2 in last year‟s overall MLS table …

REINFORCEMENTS UP TOP: On Friday, in light of

the Gold Cup call-ups (Alvarez, Saborio) and injuries to RSL attackers (Paulo Jr., Espindola, Toia), RSL announced the signing of FW Artur Aghasyan, who like his cousin, former RSL FW Yura Movsisyan, will wear jersey #14 and is expected to dress in Saturday‟s contest vs. Seattle … The 23-year old Armenian received his U.S. green card back in 2007, and suited up for RSL during the 2009 preseason, scoring a goal in the team‟s 6-0 win over Chinese team Shandong Luneng Taishan on 2/14/09 … Also trialed for Chivas USA during the 2010 and 2011 preseasons, scoring four goals in three exhibition contests in 2010 … The 5-foot-8, 170-pound striker also scored against RSL in that 2009 preseason as a member of the Ventura County Fusion of the PDL … Add‟l info: F.C. Banants (Armenia) (2003-04): Played in the youth sides of F.C. Banants, winning a Golden Boot in both seasons after scoring 18 goals in 32 goals in 2003 and 32 goals in 18 games played in 2004 … Helped Banants to the Armenia U-16 and U-17 National Championships in back-to-back seasons. Pyunik FC (Armenia) (2005-06): Began professional career with Armenian side Pyunik FC, playing the 2005-06 seasons for the club‟s team in the Armenian second division … Was Golden Boot winner in Second Division in 2005, scoring 16 goals in 25 appearances while helping Pyunik to the division championship … Graduated to Pyunik‟s First Division team in 2006, scoring a pair of goals in three contests … Appearances included a pair in the Soviet Union Champions League tournament against teams such as C.S.K.A. Moscow (Russia), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Neftchi Baku (Azerbajian). F.C. Ulis Yerevan (Armenia) (2007): Reported to Ulis Yerevan on loan for a portion of the 2007 season before moving to the United States. Ventura County Fusion (USL PDL) (2008-09): Scored eight goals in both 2008 and 2009 for the Ventura County Fusion of the United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL) … Helped the Fusion reach the 2009 PDL postseason, eventually taking the Championship 2-1 over the Chicago Fire Premier … Misc: Represented Armenia at the Under-19 and Under-21 levels, including four caps for the Armenia U-19s at the Euro U-19 Championships …

THe RAve GReen TRAvel To SAlT lAKe

part of the pack of contenders in the Western Conference,

seattle sounders FC must confront its second West foe within a

span of three days. sounders FC tests real salt lake on saturday

night at rio Tinto stadium at 6 p.m. pT.

saturday's game in sandy, Utah will be aired live on konG

6/16 and THIs-TV. rob stone and peter Fewing will describe the

action.

after this week pace slows to one match per week until open

Cup play begins late next month. seattle plays at Chicago on

June 4.

sounders FC (4-4-5, 17 points) concluded its three-game

home stand on Wednesday night with its first loss in four games

as visiting FC Dallas was able to take all three points with an early

Brek shea goal.

although hit hard by injuries seattle has fought on, earning

points in nine of the last 11 starts to share third in the West table.

a stoppage time goal by Jeff parke produced a 1-nil home win over

sporting kansas City last saturday.

no team has proven more formidable at home the past three

years than real salt lake. since moving into rio Tinto at the end

of 2008, rsl has gone 24-1-11. It's been 29 matches and two

years since the lone loss, to kansas City on May 16, 2009, and

visitors have managed to score only one goal in four games this

season.

real salt lake (5-1-2, 18 points) has the fewest losses in Mls

and has at least two games in hand on its West brethren because

of postponements due to ConCaCaF Champions league action

earlier this spring. It was runner-up to Mexico's Monterrey in the

final series.

real salt lake and Dallas finished in a scoreless deadlock on

sunday in a match delayed by lightning in the second half.

seattle and rsl are knotted at 1-1-2 in the regular season

series. Both games were drawn in 2010. The teams also met in a

2009 U.s. open Cup play-in game, won 4-1 at home by

sounders FC.

saturday’s match can also be heard live on 97.3 kIro FM and

la Gran D 99.3 FM.

THe beAT GoeS on

sounders FC are two points ahead of last year's 13-match

pace, when the record was 4-6-3, and three points behind the

2009 start of 5-3-5. That has been accomplished in spite of lengthy

absences of steve Zakuani (leg fracture; six games to date),

o'Brian White (blood clot; five games), Mauro rosales (hamstring;

three games) and Brad evans (hamstring and adductor; four

games).

nineteen different players have started at least once and 23

have seen action. Twelve players have either scored or assisted

on a goal.


A PReMiuM on GoAlS

While coping with injuries to some key players, it's a challenge

to integrate all the pieces and shift the attack into high gear. since

scoring a season-high three goals against Toronto FC on april 30

seattle has been limited to four goals in the last five games.

against real salt lake, a single goal could prove huge. FC Dallas

became the first team in 11 games to hold sounders FC scoreless.

real salt lake has allowed only two goals in its first eight

games, has posted three straight shutouts and owns a scoreless

streak of 280 minutes at home. FC Dallas and rsl battled to a

nil-nil draw at pizza Hut park on sunday. each team's offense has

stalled of late. It was the second straight scoreless game for real

salt lake and Dallas has totaled three goals in the last four

matches.

iT TAKeS A villAGe

Jeff parke's goal was the first by a defender this season and

only the second by a member of the back four in the last 30 regular

season matches. all told, there have been eight scored by

defenders, led by Tyrone Marshall's three.

It also marked the first time that defenders combined

exclusively for a goal by seattle. Tyson Wahl got the assist from

his corner kick. This season midfielders and defenders account

for 10 of the team's 14 goals.

parke becomes the second seattle defender to score while

the defense posts a shutout. leo Gonzalez did it first, against new

england in 2010. parke's only other Mls goal came on June 12,

2004 as a rookie for new York. It was Wahl's second career assist;

he earned his first against Chicago last season.

PARKe WinS PlAyeR oF THe WeeK

Jeff parke was voted Mls player of the Week, becoming the

first defender to be so honored since 2009. parke headed home

the game-winning goal in stoppage time to lift seattle over

sporting kansas City, 1-0.

parke is the first defender to win the award since Chad

Marshall of Columbus in Week 22 of the 2009 season, and the

first sounders FC player to win the award since steve Zakuani in

Week 29 of 2010. parke narrowly edged out philadelphia striker

Carlos ruiz for this week's honor.

RoAd WARRioRS

In their short history, sounders FC have made a name for

themselves on the road. among the accomplishments: winning the

2009 U.s. open Cup final at D.C United, breaking the Columbus

Crews' record 22-game home unbeaten streak in 2009, and

becoming the first road team to win at red Bull arena in 2010.

altogether, the rave Green are nearly .500 (14-15-12) on the road

in domestic league, cup and playoff games.

What's more, it can be argued that no Mls team has come

closer to winning at rio Tinto stadium in the last couple years. In

the first rsl home game since winning the 2009 Mls Cup, seattle

entered the fourth minute of stoppage time with a 2-1 lead, only to

have alvaro saborio come off the bench to equalize in the dying

seconds. real salt lake has since extended its home unbeaten

streak to a league record 29 straight.

THe lATe SHoW

seattle and kansas City have produced some thrilling late

shows on the Xbox pitch at Qwest Field the past two years. Jeff

parke's winner last week, coming in the third minute of stoppage

time, is second only to a Mike Fucito goal to beat the

then-Wizards. There have now been five stoppage time goals for

the sounders FC, with four of them determining the outcome.

94+ - Mike Fucito vs. kansas City (winner), 4/1/7/2010

93+ - Jeff parke vs. kansas City (winner), 5/21/2011

ReTuRninG To HeAlTH

last week's game marked Mauro rosales' return to the lineup

following a two-match absence, and it was the argentine's first

start in five outings. rosales played 69 minutes and got off one

shot. erik Friberg, who missed his first match on May 14 against

portland, was back in the XI against FC Dallas.

While they are still sidelined indefinitely, o'Brian White and

steve Zakuani were well enough to attend their first match since

being hospitalized late last month. White attended the team's

saturday pre-game meeting and both players watched the

sporting kC game from a suite.

only midfielder osvaldo alonso and goalkeeper kasey keller

have played each match and both have played all 1170 minutes.

keller has started 68 regular season matches in a row-dating to

april 25, 2009-the longest current streak in Mls. The only match

he failed to finish during this run was at FC Dallas on april 22,

2010. keller left after the first half and a collision with Jeff

Cunningham.CleAn SHeeTS & MoRe

The clean sheet against sporting kC was the third of the

and all have come in the last seven games. Two of those shutouts

have been delivered by a changed back four. Jeff parke replaced

patrick Ianni alongside Jhon kennedy Hurtado as sigi schmid

continues to give one of those three a timely rest. The defense

has allowed only 0.92 goals per game. kasey keller now has 24

career shutouts over two-plus seasons. only nick rimando (28)

of real salt lake has more since the start of 2009.

THRee oF A Kind

sounders FC has certainly been affected by the loss, and their

opponents this week know just how they feel. steve Zakuani

suffered a fractured leg on a horrific tackle on april 22, and the star

winger who led the team in scoring at that point is now out of action

indefinitely. a day later, on april 23, David Ferreira of FC Dallas

broke an ankle on a challenge by a Vancouver defender. Ferreira,

who had sparked his team's run to the Mls Cup final, was the

league's MVp in 2010. and on May 7 another member of the 2010

Mls Best XI was cut down. real salt lake talisman Javier

Morales sustained a fractured leg against Chivas Usa.

nate Jaqua has scored a career-best six times against real

versus rsl.

ReCAP: SoundeRS FC 0 vS. FC dAllAS 1 - MAy 23 sounders FC controlled much of the game and created

numerous chances but was unable to capitalize in a game where

Brek shea's first-half goal proved to be the winner for FC Dallas

Wednesday night on the Xbox pitch at Qwest Field.

seattle (4-4-5, 17 points) saw its three-game unbeaten streak

come to an end and the loss evens the series record between the

two clubs (1-1-3). The shutout was the first for the sounders FC

attack since the March 19 road loss at new York.

Dallas (6-3-3, 21 points) picked up the three points, extended

its unbeaten streak to seven games and solidified its second-place

spot in the Western Conference behind l.a. Galaxy. Its defense

has now held opponents scoreless for 489 consecutive minutes.

FC Dallas scored in the 18th minute when andrew Jacobson

split the defense with a pass which shea ran onto and beat a

charging kasey keller from just inside the box.

seattle had numerous chances to equalize and pressed the

entire game. sounders FC held the advantage in shots (19-7) and

shots on goal (6-2), forcing FC Dallas keeper kevin Hartman to

make four saves to keller's one.

The rave Green's closest chance was in the 66th minute

when Mike Fucito first tested Hartman with a header which was

batted by the keeper against the left post. Fucito's follow-up shot

was then blocked by defender Ugo Ihemelu for Hartman to

collect.

In the 88th minute, Jeff parke fought the defense and got his

head on a Fucito corner kick but it sailed high and wide.

Fucito created multiple chances in his first Mls start, tallying

three shots on goal on five attempts. In the 64th minute, he fired

an open shot from the top of the box but Hartman tipped it over

the crossbar.

In the 43rd minute, Fredy Montero dropped a ball into the box

for Mauro rosales who played it off his chest then tried to score

off the volley but Hartman made the save. In the 19th minute erik

Friberg beat Hartman only to have Zach loyd headed the ball

away from goal.

Zach scott was issued a yellow card for sounders FC. George

John was cautioned for FC Dallas.

RSl noTAbleS

kyle Beckerman has started seven games with one goal.

paulo araujo Jr. has scored two goals in four games and has the

third-best scoring percentage in Mls at 28.6. salt lake will be

without the services of several key attackers. Costa rican

midfielder alvaro saborio, who is yet to open his 2011 account,

and el salvadorian midfielder arturo alvarez have already

departed rsl camp for national team duty. Javier Morales scored

two goals with two assists before sustaining an injury on May 7.

The backline has remained consistent with the likes of nat

Borchers, Jamison olave, Chris Wingert and robbie russell

helping to create the league's stingiest defense. Goalkeeper nick

rimando leads the league with just two goals allowed in seven

starts (0.29 Gaa) and five shutouts.

SeRieS noTeS

sounders FC is 1-1-2 against salt lake, having only brought

one point home in two visits to rio Tinto stadium. The series

finished even last year with a 2-2 road draw and a scoreless draw

at Qwest Field. Five of the seven goals scored by both teams have

come in the final 45 minutes, including a late equalizer in seattle's

last trip to sandy, Utah. Fredy Montero has a goal and an assist

in four meetings with rsl.

The two teams also met in February preseason play in Casa

Grande, arizona. Fredy Montero converted a penalty kick with one

minute remaining in the 110-minute training game to earn a 3-3

draw. lamar neagle and o'Brian White scored and Collen Warner

recorded a brace for salt lake.

AbouT ReAl SAlT lAKe

real salt lake is tied with seattle at third in the West with 17

points but has played four fewer games. since losing to Monterrey

in the ConCaCaF Champions league final on april 27, salt lake

rsl earned a road draw against Dallas on sunday night. salt
