MLS GAME INFORMATION

REAL SALT LAKE vs FC DALLAS RIO TINTO STADIUM, Sandy, Utah 7 p.m. MT (TXA-21) July 9, 2011 (WEEK 17; MLS Game 168)

Opponents in the Western Conference Semifinals a year ago, Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas renew acquaintances when the clubs meet Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Real are coming off a wild 3-3 draw with the New England Revolution last weekend, stretching their unbeaten run to five games. FC Dallas have won back-to-back games by shutout, last a 2-0 home against Columbus, riding a three-game winning streak. REFEREE: Ricardo Salazar.

The teams played to a scoreless draw May 22 at Pizza Hut Park, the first time Real Salt Lake have ever come away with a point on their travels to Dallas.

The teams met in the Western Conference Semifinals a year ago, with FC Dallas winning the first leg 2-1 at home, then advancing after a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium. They split their two regular-season meetings.

FC Dallas had won the first nine meetings at home all-time against Real Salt Lake in league and MLS Cup play, outscoring RSL 20-6.

The road team hasn’t won in the series since June 14, 2007, when FC Dallas claimed a 1-0 victory at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Coaches record: Schellas Hyndman v RSL: P6 W2 L3 D1 … Jason Kreis vs. DAL: P10 W4 L5 D1 LAST MEETING 5/22: DAL 0, RSL 0

Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando made three saves and FC Dallas netminder Kevin Hartman made two.

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.

FC DALLAS (4-4-2): Kevin Hartman - Jackson Goncalves (Bobby Warshaw 83), George John, Ugo Ihemelu, Zach Loyd - Eric Alexander (Eric Avila 77), Andrew Jacobson, Daniel Hernandez, Brek Shea - Marvin Chavez, Fabian Castillo (Ruben Luna 72).

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.

REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake extended their undefeated run to five games in dramatic fashion, overcoming two deficits and man disadvantage to come back for a 3-3 draw with the New England Revolution on Monday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL sits in fourth place in the Western Conference, with 27 points from 16 matches. LAST MATCH

The match took a significant turn after just three minutes. Nat Borchers was sent off by referee Yader Reyes after pulling down Benny Feilhaber in the area as he burst through, and Rajko Lekic finished off the penalty.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

The Revolution doubled the lead in the 16th minute when Chris Tierney sent a low, hard free kick under the wall and inside the right post, but RSL responded in the 24th minute when a free kick from midfielder Andy Williams caromed off the post before Will Johnson coolly tapped in the rebound.

The hosts pulled even in the 56th minute when Revolution defender Kevin Alston was whistled for a handball in the box on an RSL cross and Álvaro Saborío buried the ensuing penalty.

But New England nosed back in front in the 63rd minute when Sharlie Joseph headed home a Benny Feilhaber free kick. Yet the match took another turn just four minutes when defender Ryan Cochrane was shown a second yellow card.

That set the stage for another Real equalizer, this time a through ball from Saborio to put Espindola alone into the box and he cut the ball past Matt Reis and inside the right post for the 3-3 draw.

RSL coach Jason Kreis made one change to the side that cruised to a 3-1 win against Toronto FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. Andy Williams came into the team for Kyle Beckerman.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Robbie Russell (Kyle Beckerman 46), Jamison Olave, Nat Borchers (sent off 3), Tony Beltran - Collen Warner (Chris Schuler 9), Ned Grabavoy, Will Johnson - Andy Williams - Luis Gil (Fabian Espindola 63), Alvaro Saborio.

TEAM NEWS The draw was the second in four games (along with two wins) at Rio Tinto Stadium since Real Salt Lake saw

their long home league unbeaten streak put to an end. “The heart on this team, the fight and everything, was phenomenal. The work rate was great and guys moving

around and just doing whatever had to be done to get some kind of result. Hopefully, at the end of the season we’ll look back and this will be one point gained instead of two points lost,” Will Johnson said.

After having scored 10 goals over a 12-game stretch, Real have now hit for three goals in back-to-back games. “I’m really, really proud of our guys,” RSL head coach Jason Kreis said. “To get to 2-2 and then have another

disappointing decision and a free kick goal scored off of that, and then fight back again to get to 3-3 is a huge credit to our group.”

After going nearly two months without a goal in league play, Fabian Espindola has scored four goals in his last six appearances since June 4.

“[Espindola has been] looking to take chances, wanted to be on the ball and make things happen," Kreis said. "We need more players that want to do that right now.”

All three Revolution goals came from deadball situations; RSL has now allowed seven of their 12 goals from standard situations. Tierney’s free kick was the first direct free kick; three of the seven have come from free kicks.

“I have to assume that it went under the wall,” Kreis said. “Obviously that’s not good enough. The wall — never do we want them jumping. We want them staying still and if someone hits the ball over them and into the top corner, we can credit them. But if somebody hits the ball into the lower corner because we jumped, now we’ve got some questions to answer.”

“They didn’t do anything to cause us to worry,” Williams said. “We kept creating chances and getting shots. Even down 2-0 I thought we outplayed New England. Their chances all came from set pieces tonight.” FC DALLAS FC Dallas ran their winning streak to three games with another shutout, defeating the Columbus Crew 2-0 on Saturday evening at Pizza Hut Park. FCD has 34 points from 16 games on the season, in second place in the Western Conference. LAST MATCH

FC Dallas took the lead in the 58th minute as winger Brek Shea continued his rich vein of form. Goalkeeper William Hesmer spilled a Marvin Chávez shot from close range and Shea was able to corral the rebound and fire home from close range.

FCD doubled the lead as Jackson continued his recent hot hand, racing onto a through ball from Andrew Jacobson and chipping Hesmer from the center of the box to put the game away.

The Crew finished the game with 10 men after Andy Iro was sent off for a second bookable offense. FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman made no changes to the team that rolled to a 4-0 victory against the

Portland Timbers at Pizza Hut Park FC DALLAS (4-2-3-1): Kevin Hartman - Zach Loyd (Andrew Wiedeman 92+), George John, Ugo Ihemelu, Jair

Benitez - Daniel Hernandez, Andrew Jacobson - Jackson, Eric Alexander (Ricardo Villar 60), Brek Shea - Marvin Chavez (Milton Rodriguez 83).

TEAM NEWS Brek Shea scored for a fourth consecutive match in the 2-0 win against Columbus, pulling into a tie atop the

MLS Golden Boot standings along with Charlie Davies (DC), Landon Donovan (LA) and Thierry Henry (NY).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“I don’t really think about being tied for the league lead in goals," Shea said. "I’m just trying to help the team score goals. I’d much rather play with a lead. Our team plays with a lot more confidence when we’re up a goal.” Said FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman: “He has continued to develop confidence. When a player starts to develop confidence, you’ll find his teammates will pass him the ball more because they have confidence in him.”

Shea has started 10 consecutive games as a wide midfielder after opening the season in central defense and also playing fullback.

“Think about him being the team’s leading scorer despite how many games he played at left back and center back before we got ourselves healthy,” said Hyndman. “It is not just the goals he scores, he gets some good balls and he keeps the defense under a lot of pressure.”

Making a second consecutive start, both in the midfield, Jackson again scored a goal. Jackson had played primarily as a fullback in each of his previous appearances this season.

“Jackson has come to life since his trip to Brazil, since his marriage. I’ve got a few guys telling me now they are thinking about getting married,” Hyndman said.

In two games since Fabian Castillo has been with the Colombian under-20 national team, FC Dallas have scored six goals while not allowing any.

“I think [Shea and Jackson] have really made a difference, and of course, Marvin [Chavez] up front. Defenders are having so much trouble handling those three and our center midfield has really done a good job. Andrew Jacobson, Eric Alexander and Daniel Hernandez are really causing teams a lot of problems now,” Hyndman said.

Kevin Hartman has backstopped eight shutouts in the last 11 games. His nine clean sheets lead MLS. “We just try to be consistent. I think we've been able to overcome adversity and play quality soccer. We're all each others’ biggest fans. We have a good thing going,” Hartman said.

RSL KICKS OFF REVENGE TOUR v DALLAS:

Earlier this year, Real Salt Lake earned its first-ever point in North Texas against FC Dallas, gutting out a 0-0 draw on May 22 despite an hour & 52 minute lightning delay … Now, RSL hosts the team that ended its MLS Cup repeat hopes last season, Dallas drawing 1-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium last November to secure a 3-2 aggregate series victory … In regular-season home play against Dallas, RSL is 3-0-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium, outscoring them 9-3 … RSL has dropped only 5 of 64 home games (MLS/CCL/Playoff & Open Cup) since the start of the 2008 season (40-5-19), outscoring opponents 125-43 … Looking for maximum points from the games RSL currently holds in hand over the trio of teams it looks up at in the Western Conference standings (Los Angeles, Dallas & Seattle), Jason Kreis' team’ will be just one game shy of all three on August 1 … Dallas and RSL play each other again on July 12 in Texas in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal … Saturday’s game between RSL and Dallas kicks off at 7:00 p.m. MT and will air live via the MLS MatchDay Live subscription package and on RSL‟s official radio partners – ESPN 700 Sports Radio and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM / Juan 106.1 FM …

United, dropping the Open Cup game before bouncing back for a 0-0 draw in MLS play … Back in 2006, RSL lost an Open Cup game to Colorado, 0-1 at home, before winning the MLS game a week later on the road with a 4-1 win … RSL Back-to-Back Games vs Same Team (@ = away) Yr Opponent Gm 1 Gm 2 Record 2011 Dallas (MLS) @(USOC)

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

“THIS IS YOUR LIFE, JASON KREIS”: For RSL

Head Coach Jason Kreis, the eight days from July 4-12, 2011 mark a walk down memory lane, starting with Monday‟s post-game retirement of the iconic #9 jersey worn for RSL (and earlier for Dallas) by one of Major League Soccer‟s pioneers … On Saturday, July 9, RSL hosts Kreis‟ former team, FC Dallas, before heading to the MetroPlex for Tuesday‟s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game at Pizza Hut Park … Kreis played nine seasons in Dallas, winning the MLS MVP Award in 1999, becoming the first American-born player to do (and one of only three in the League‟s first 15 years) … Both of Kreis‟ sons – Jake and Kason – were born in Dallas, where Jason scored 91 of his 108 career goals, and helped bring the Burn its lone title of any kind, the 1997 U.S. Open Cup … Kreis teammates on that Burn squad that hoisted the Dewar Trophy? – current RSL GM Garth Lagerwey and current RSL Assistant Coach Jeff Cassar …

JASON KREIS WEEK KICKED OFF POST-GAME:

RSL Founder Dave Checketts and Co-Owner Dell Loy Hansen joined members of the Kreis family and other figures from the legendary striker‟s soccer career to share their memories of RSL‟s first-ever player, Original Captain and second-ever Head Coach … After signing with Real Salt Lake on November 17, 2004 (acquired from Dallas for future considerations), Kreis became the most iconic figure in Real Salt Lake’s now seven-year history, with his milestones on the playing field in Claret-and-Cobalt from 2005-2007 including scoring the first goal in club history on April 9, 2005 (vs. LA) and becoming the first MLS player to score 100 goals in league play (Aug. 13, 2005 vs. KC) … Kreis would give up the captain‟s armband and hang up his cleats for good on May 3, 2007, as the League’s all-time leading scorer with 108 career goals, making a player‟s ultimate sacrifice by going from the field to the sideline in order to become Real Salt Lake‟s second-ever head coach … Now in his fifth season as RSL‟s sideline boss, the Omaha, Neb., native has flourished in the role, the Utah side‟s steady ascension from league doormat to MLS powerhouse … Highlights include Kreis leading the team to its first postseason berth in 2008, becoming the youngest coach to win an MLS Cup title in 2009, and helping the squad to unprecedented heights for an MLS team by reaching the Finals of the 2010/11 CONCACAF Champions League this past April …

KREIS BURNED UP THE DALLAS NETS : RSL

Head Coach Jason Kreis is FC Dallas‟ all-time leader in every significant scoring and service category, leading RSL against the team for which he played 247 games from 1996-2004 and won the League‟s 1999 MVP award, becoming the first-ever American-born player to do so … RSL Assistant Coach Jeff Cassar also played and coached for Dallas at various stints between 1996-2007, while RSL GM Garth Lagerwey joined Kreis and Cassar for Dallas‟ lone championship – the 1997 U.S. Open Cup side … RSL Assistant Coach Miles Joseph also played in Dallas during the 2001 MLS season … On the field, current RSL M/F Arturo Alvarez scored 11 goals in 76 games for Dallas from 2005-08, years which included several appearances in the U.S. Open Cup, Alvarez appearing in both of Dallas‟ finals, scoring a goal in 2007 …

RSL’s BIG D CONNECTIONS: While Kreis‟ exploits in

the old Dallas Burn black-and-red are well-documented, the new-era FC Dallas “Hoops” have shed ¾ of their once-decidedly RSL feel as the organization‟s inaugural head coach, John Ellinger, is Dallas‟ top assistant … Ellinger posted a 15-37-16 record from 2005-07 in Salt Lake, while Cunningham scored 19 goals and added 11 assists in 38 games in 2006-07, becoming the only RSL player to earn MLS Best XI honors for his 16-goal 2006 campaign … Harris posted 4 goals and 2 assists in 43 games for RSL from 2006-07 … Last year, former RSL forwards Jeff Cunningham and Atiba Harris regularly started for Dallas, but both moved on this past offseason … Injured DF Kyle Davies also enjoyed a brief membership with RSL prior to being traded to Dallas last year, and waived by the “Hoops” earlier this season …

FC DALLAS STREAK-SNAPPERS: During last

year‟s MLS Cup title defense, RSL dropped just two of its 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 …

RETURNING THE FAVOR: Real Salt Lake, on the

other hand, snapped FC Dallas‟ MLS-record 19-game unbeaten streak last October at Rio Tinto Stadium, Schellas‟ Hyndman‟s team not losing since mid-May … In Dallas‟s last visit to the Wasatch Front, the team drew RSL 1-1 in the second leg of the 2010 MLS Cup Playoff Quarterfinals to win 3-2 on aggregate …

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

METROPLEX MISERY FOR RSL: This May‟s

scoreless draw at Pizza Hut Park might be the best-ever RSL performance in Dallas, despite the two-hour lightning delay and a paucity of offensive opportunity for either team … Despite the lightning and last year‟s Morales ejection during the postseason, RSL remembers Dallas for late heroics (Dominic Oduro), fantastic bombs from distance (Chris Gbandi, Arturo Alvarez) and a consolation penalty kick (Freddy Adu) … The list of all-time results in North Texas:

PLAYOFF FAILING IN FRISCO: In last year‟s

postseason meeting at Pizza Hut Park, FW Fabian Espindola set up RSL with a dream start in the first leg of the 2010 MLS Cup Playoff Western Conference Semifinals, scoring on a curling blast in the 7

th minute …

But victory was not in the cards, as RSL suffered its sixth 1-2 loss at Pizza Hut Park in nine all-time attempts, with Dallas scoring goals at the death in each half to take the one-goal aggregate lead … Dallas sub Eric Avila scored a stunning goal in the 88

th

minute to give the home side a dramatic win, as Avila found the back of the net on his first touch barely a minute after coming on … After Espindola‟s curling blast inside the left post from the edge of the area set up RSL early, it was former RSL striker and nemesis Jeff Cunningham skipping through a trio of RSL defenders in the penalty area and hammering a shot under Rimando … Each team was left a man down with a six-minute span in the second half, RSL's Javier Morales sent off with a second caution, and FCD's Atiba Harris after a high elbow in a midfield challenge … That set the stage for Avila, who picked up the ball in midfield and after a long run let fly with a searing drive from outside the box for the Dallas win …

JULY 4 BICENTENNIAL FOR REAL SALT LAKE:

Monday marked the 200th regular-season MLS match for

RSL, the team posting a 64-79-57 mark through its first five-and-a-half seasons, being outscored -10 on goal +/- (255/265) …

NO REPEAT FOR RIOT ROMP OVER REVS: Real

Salt Lake had enjoyed unparalleled success in recent years against the New England Revolution … RSL romped the visiting Revs in each of the last two visits to Rio Tinto Stadium, 6-0 in 2009 and 5-0 in 2010, the two largest margins of victory in RSL history … Monday‟s dramatic, come-from-behind 3-3 draw was certainly marred by the 3‟ Nat Borchers red card and the trio of Revolution goals scored on set pieces (PK, direct free kick and indirect free kick) … All-time, RSL is now 6-4-4 against the Revs, after dropping the first two meetings back in 2005 … Aggregate scoreline in the 14 games: 28-18 …

TWO-GOAL COMEBACKS: Real Salt Lake emerged

with a point on Monday for the sixth time in club history after spotting the opposition a two-goal lead … MF Will Johnson slammed home an Andy Williams free kick in the 24‟ to start the comeback, with an Alvaro Saborio PK in the 56‟ knotting the game at 2-2 … RSL conceded a Shalrie Joseph header in the 63‟ to set the stage for FW Fabian Espindola‟s heroics in the 83‟ … Four of the six 2-goal comebacks have occurred at home, with three of the four happening as precursors to the Independence Day or Pioneer Day fireworks shows … This week‟s NE comeback was the second to occur on July 4, as former captain Jason Kreis tallied a 90‟ PK v NY to salvage a 2-2 draw … In 2009, RSL stormed back from a 0-2 deficit at halftime to visiting Dallas on Pioneer Day to score four in an incredible second half, which saw GK Nick Rimando stone a Jeff Cunningham PK and Yura Movsisyan notch a 2

nd-half brace …

In last year‟s regular-season finale at rival Colorado, Saborio scored twice in second-half stoppage time to retain the Rocky Mountain Cup for holders RSL … The list:

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

FIVE STRAIGHT FOR THE SIXTH TIME: Real Salt

Lake‟s comeback Monday enabled the team to extend its unbeaten run to five MLS games, the current streak marking the sixth time in club history that the team has gone on a five-game stretch without a loss … Tied for the third-longest streak ever in RSL annals, 2010 saw single-season runs of 10 and 14 games for Jason Kreis‟ team without a loss, the latter extended to 18 with its hot regular-season start this year:

TEAM STK START END

Real Salt Lake 18 07/24/2010 04/13/2011

Real Salt Lake 5 09/27/2008 10/25/2008

Real Salt Lake 5 06/06/2009 07/03/2009

RSL has already reached six unbeaten in all competitions, winning its 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup debut on June 28 with a 2-0 win over the visiting Wilmington Hammerheads … RSL travels to Dallas on July 12 for the Open Cup QuarterFinal at Pizza Hut Park …

INDEPENDENCE DAY HISTORY: Real Salt Lake

has only lost once in its seven all-time Independence Day home games, however, it has also won just once and played to two scoreless draws as well, posting a 1-1-5 mark all-time … The lone loss did come back in 2007 at the team‟s former Rice-Eccles Stadium home, dropping a 1-2 decision to Toronto on a Collin Samuel PK … The lone win was the 5-0 thrashing of New England in 2010 … The list: Date Opponent Venue Result 7/4/05 New York Rice-Eccles T, 2-2 7/4/06 Chivas USA Rice-Eccles T, 0-0 7/4/07 Toronto FC Rice-Eccles L, 1-2 7/3/08 Houston Dynamo Rice-Eccles T, 0-0 7/3/09 San Jose Earthquakes Rio Tinto T, 1-1 7/2/10 NE Revolution Rio Tinto W, 5-0 7/4/11 NE Revolution Rio Tinto T, 3-3

YELLOW-CARD PERIL NOW A CONCERN: Now is

the time of the season when yellow-card caution accumulation is added to injuries and national team duty as reasons to force lineup shuffling, with RSL MF Will Johnson one caution away from the first suspension threshold (5 yellow cards) … By staying out of the officials‟ book Monday vs. NE, Johnson is eligible to earn the League‟s “Good Behavior” incentive, which slashes one caution from his total … Should Johnson go another two consecutive MLS games without a yellow card, he will see a caution scrubbed from his record … DF Chris Wingert, DF Robbie Russell and M/F Jean Alexandre are each TWO cautions away from suspension …

BORCHERS SEEING RED OVER 3’ EJECTION: Nat

Borchers‟ ejection in the 3‟ of Monday‟s game was the earliest red card in RSL team history, five minutes ahead of the Jack Stewart ejection back on August 26, 2006, at Giants Stadium in NY … 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 …

OTHER RED CARD MISCELLANY: In its history, RSL

has never played with just nine men due to disciplinary issues, and has now scored SEVEN short-handed goals (Jason Kreis, 7/4/05 v. NY; Chris Klein & Kreis, 9/16/06 v. DAL; a Chris Leitch own-goal on 7/3/09 v. SJ; Nelson Gonzalez late goal on 5/28/11 v. SEA; and the Johnson/Saborio goals Monday) … All-time, RSL now has been victim of 30 red cards, succumbing to a -9 goal difference in a total of 632 minutes playing a man down … Incredibly, SIX of those nine goals came in one game, the 0-6 loss @NY in August 2006 when DF Jack Stewart was tossed in the 8

th minute

SEEING RED, BUT TO LITTLE ADVANTAGE:

Back on May 7, Real Salt Lake saw an opponent hit with multiple red cards for the third time in the team’s now 200-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 … 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 …

REVS’ HISTORIC TRIFECTA: According to the Elias

Sports Bureau, New England‟s trio of goals Monday marked the first time in 48 games that RSL had allowed 2 or fewer goals, the longest streak in MLS history … RSL had not conceded three or more goals to a league opponent since Sept. 26, 2009 in an 0-3 loss at Dallas … The last time RSL allowed three goals at home to an MLS side? … A span of 56 regular-season games dating back to October 6, 2007, in a 2-3 loss to Chivas USA, that year‟s Western Conference #1 seed …

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

SABO ANNOUNCES RETURN WITH

AUTHORITY: RSL FW Alvaro Saborio has scored

three goals in the two games since returning from the CONCACAF Gold Cup, one last Monday in the 3-3 draw with NE and two goals on June 25 in the 3-1 home win over Toronto FC … Those games mark Sabo‟s first appearance in MLS action since May 22 at Dallas, and his first MLS goals since October 23, 2010 at Colorado in the final regular-season game last year … The Costa Rican forward – RSL’s first-ever and lone “Designated Player” – had last scored for the Claret-and-Cobalt back on March 22 at home in a 2-0 win over his former Saprissa club in CONCACAF Champions League … At this year‟s Gold Cup, “Sabo” scored in the Ticos‟ opener against Cuba, but missed two PKs – one in regulation, one in a tiebreaker – against Honduras in the Quarterfinal stage … Saborio set up the dramatic 83‟ equalizer for FW Fabian Espindola by taking a Jamison Olave entry pass and touching it forward to the streaking Argentine, just minutes after he jumped high for a rebound and headed the ball off the crossbar …

YOUR ASSISTANCE, PLEASE: While FW Alvaro

Saborio‟s heroics in last Saturday‟s 3-1 win over Toronto earned headlines, those goals – nor the dominating performance – would have been possible without the selfless passing game that RSL is known for, as two players – Captain Kyle Beckerman and DF Robbie Russell – each tallied multiple assists on the night, only the 2

nd and 3

rd multi-assist performances for RSL this MLS

season, and the first since Collen Warner tallied both helpers on April 9 at New England … Beckerman‟s corner kick in the 39‟ found onrushing DF Nat Borchers for the header that broke the scoreless deadlock … Three minutes later, Beckerman found Russell on the right wing, and the veteran right back sliced the ball into the box, where Saborio simply tapped it home … Russell completed his evening on the scoresheet with a lofted diagonal ball that set up Sabo alone in the box with Toronto „keeper Stefan Frei, where he buried the effort to put RSL up 3-0 …

RSL “BRACING” FOR SUCCESS: With FW Alvaro

Saborio‟s two-goal „brace‟ on June 28 vs TOR, RSL has now seen 19 of its 29 multi-goal performances occur at home in its 200-game MLS regular-season game, 12-game CCL and 12-game Open Cup histories … The multi-goal game was Saborio‟s 6

th cross all competitions, ahead

of Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales‟ tie with Robbie Findley with four “braces,” while Yura Movsisyan and Jason Kreis each had 2, ahead of Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and Fabian Espíndola, who have each also scored 2 or more times in a game … When an RSL player scores 2 or more goals in a game, the team has posted a 20-3-4 all-time mark … Besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL play and the 4-6 loss at Minnesota in Open Cup action, when was the lone MLS loss? … June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown‟s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 loss: G Player Date Opponent Result

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

DEFENSE STILL DOMINATES … : Led by GK Nick

Rimando, the 2010 MLS Best XI center-back pairing of DF Nat Borchers and DF Jamison Olave and Captain Kyle Beckerman, the vaunted RSL defense has allowed one goal or fewer in 13 of its 16 MLS games this season, allowing 12 goals thus far, including three on PKs … Last year, RSL allowed just 20 goals in the 30-game regular season, setting a new standard in MLS annals and breaking the 2007 Houston Dynamo record … Rimando recorded his 81

st career shutout on June 22

@CHI, 45 of which have now come in the RSL Claret-and-Cobalt … Rimando has seven of RSL‟s eight MLS clean sheets in 2011 (Reynish, April 9 @ NE), trailing Dallas‟ total of 10 (Kevin Hartman) … Rimando also had two shutouts in CONCACAF play earlier this year at Columbus and v Saprissa …

RSL REWIND: SCORELESS IN CHICAGO: The

June 22 scoreless draw was the 21st in RSL‟s 247-game

history across all competitions, and was the third of the relatively young season for Jason Kreis‟ team … Back in mid-May‟s “Texas Two-Step,” RSL suffered back-to-back scoreless draws vs HOU and @ DAL, the Utah side’s first in nearly four years, since 5/27 & 6/2 of 2007 in road games @ NE and @ CHI, Jason Kreis‟ 4

th & 5

th games at

the RSL helm …

ATTACK LACKING PIZZAZZ: Due to the onslaught

of injuries, suspension and Gold Cup duty, and despite the three-goal outburst Saturday, RSL has still scored only 10 goals in the 9 games played since MF Javier Morales went down, after scoring a league-high 45 goals in 2010 …

Kreis has continually praised FW Fabian Espíndola for stepping up and assuming the team‟s creative mantle in the absence of teammate and close friend Morales since the RSL talisman‟s devastating injury … On June 22 vs. D.C. United, Espindola tallied his team-high fourth goal of the season with a 38‟ PK after a United handball in the box … The goal was Fabian’s 20

th of his RSL career,

vaulting him into sole possession of 2nd

place in the RSL scoring annals with Jeff Cunningham, now 9 behind leader Robbie Findley (29) … Espíndola is past halfway to his career season-high total of six goals scored in 22 games last year, and has matched his output of three goals in 22 games during RSL‟s Cup-winning 2009 campaign … The fiesty Argentine scored twice in nine appearances during RSL’s 2010/11 CCL run, and had a blistering effort to open last year‟s MLS Cup Playoffs at Dallas, his only career postseason goal in 8 appearances …

MAYDAY, MAYDAY: 12-MONTH RUN OF

SUCCESS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS: Despite the pair

of difficult 0-1 losses vs. Monterrey and at Portland in the final week of April, Real Salt Lake performed exceptionally in the 45 games played between May 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, losing only six times in that stretch, the rough equivalent of a season-and-a-half … Across MLS regular season, MLS Cup Playoff and CONCACAF Champions League games, Jason Kreis‟ team posted an impressive mark of 26-6-13 and outscored opponents 75-33 since May 1, 2010 … RSL would have earned 91 points in this stretch … The MLS equivalents: (reg.-season games only) TEAM 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, sandwiched around the bizarre 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul … The fourth loss was the 1-2 decision at Saprissa which enabled RSL to advance to the CCL Final … RSL then dropped the 0-1 home game to Monterrey to snap the 37-game “all-competition” Rio Tinto Stadium streak …

LATE DRAMA PART OF RSL DNA: MF Will

Johnson‟s 87‟ game-winning goal vs. Chivas way back on May 7 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):

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:

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

MORALES A MARKED MAN IN MLS: Argentine

playmaker Javier Morales has played 116 games for RSL (93 MLS regular-season, 8 playoff, 3 Open Cup, 12 CCL) … During that time, he has been the most-fouled player in the League (reg. season only), an indicator of the target on his back by opposing defenses … The list (from 8/29/07 to 5/7/11): Player FS

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 36 MLS regular-season/playoff, CCL or Open Cup games without its playmaker, posting a 14-10-14 overall mark … Head Coach Jason Kreis‟ team has gone 10-9-12 in MLS reg. season play, 0-0-1 Playoff, 3-0-0 in CONCACAF and 1-1-1 in Open Cup sans Javi … Since the beginning of the 2009 season, that record is 12-7-11, including a surprising ability to score 2+ goals in 14 of those 30 games without Javier … The breakdown: DATE OPP.

ROAD OPTIMISM: Despite the late collapse at

Columbus and the difficult start at Philadelphia, Real Salt Lake – once the worst road team in the history of MLS – has earned points in 15 of its last 18 road games – the equivalent of an entire season – dating back to May, 2010 … The road forays have been low-scoring, as RSL has outscored opponents 14-12 goals in that span – while Jason Kreis‟ team has dropped just six of its last 28 overall if you include CONCACAF and MLS Cup Playoff road matches (and one loss, April 5 at Saprissa, still clinched the series for RSL) …

This recent advent of road success places the squad‟s all-time regular season road mark at 16-57-25 (.260; 89 GF / 164 GA) … Since Kreis took over, RSL‟s MLS road mark is 12-33-20, with the four road wins in 2010 doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … Seven games down (2-2-3, 9 pts), 10 to go in 2011 …

* RSL advances 3-2 on aggregate

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 …

RSL’S INTERNATIONAL HISTORY: With the late

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

KREIS CONTRACT EXTENDED THRU 2013: On

March 24, RSL President Bill Manning and GM Garth Lagerwey announced that the club has extended by two years the contract of current Head Coach Jason Kreis, keeping the youngest MLS Cup-winning manager in League history on the RSL sideline through the completion of the 2013 season … All-time, Kreis now owns a 53-44-37 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)

fewest home goals allowed (7) In addition to those league benchmarks, last year‟s edition set franchise-high records in

wins (15)

goals (45)

scoring output (1.50/game)

points (56)

shutouts (15)

road points (19)

road goal differential (+1)

VICTORY … ERR, EQUALITY GOLD KITS?: RSL

wore its so-called “Victory Gold” 3rd

kits for the fourth time in team history at Dallas on May 22, earning road draws on each occasion … Last year, RSL drew 1-1 @ KC and 1-1 @ 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 … For the first time ever, the uniforms lived up to their name, RSL winning 2-0 at home on June 28 over Wilmington … Expect to see the “Equality Gold” kits continue on in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play and perhaps on the late September trip to New York and Washington, D.C. …

FORTRESS STOOD STRONG FOR FORTY-TWO:

With RSL‟s 1-2 loss at home May 28 against Seattle, the team saw its MLS home unbeaten streak perish at 29 games … Just a month earlier on April 27, the 0-1 CCL loss to Monterrey (MEX) last week snapped the club’s overall home unbeaten run at 37 games across MLS, CCL and exhibition play … While those two losses in a one-month span dropped RSL to 5-1-0 at home in CONCACAF play, the team remains 22-1-11 in MLS regular season, 1-0-1 playoffs and 2-0-1 in international exhibitions … The aggregate scoreline in those games?: 86-26 …

Including the recent 29-game MLS unbeaten streak at Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL has dropped just 5 of its last 64 home games (40-5-19) across MLS regular season / playoff and CONCACAF / Open Cup play dating back to the start of 2008 … Prior to that, RSL was 15-19-13 on Utah soil in MLS competition, with a -5 goal differential (60 GF / 65 GA) from 2005-07 … 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)

the first time since 2006, Real Salt Lake participates in the official Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tourney, after failing to emerge from MLS qualifying rounds in 2007-10 … Tuesday‟s match against the visiting USL-PRO Wilmington Hammerheads marks the fourth game in 11 days for Head Coach Jason Kreis’ team … As has been the case in recent years, the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champion receives entry into the preliminary round for the 2012/13 edition of CONCACAF Champions League … All-time in Open Cup-related play, RSL is just 4-6-1, scoring 20 goals and conceding 22 … Against lower-division teams, RSL is now 2-1-0 in Open Cup action, losing 4-6 at Minnesota in 2005 (despite a Jason Kreis hat trick) before defeating the USL Virginia Beach Mariners 2-1 at home in 2006 … Both games went 120 minutes after being tied in regulation …

THE RING IS THE THING: While Real Salt Lake might

not have seen much success during its first six runs in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, that doesn‟t mean some of its roster has not had the chance to lift the coveted Dewar Trophy before … Rookie RSL Assistant Coach C.J. Brown won an incredible four U.S. Open Cup titles during his 13-year career with the Chicago Fire, in 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006 … One of his teammates in 2003 – MF Andy Williams – is the lone remaining “RSL Original” from the team‟s 2005 expansion year … Williams won a ring in 2003 with the Fire, as did MF Ned Grabavoy during his rookie season in LA in 2005 … A trio of RSL Technical Staff members – GM Garth Lagerwey, Head Coach Jason Kreis & Asst. Coach Jeff Cassar – were all members of the 1997 U.S. Open Cup-winning Dallas Burn … RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando each played for the ring with the 2000 Miami Fusion, which lost in the final to Brown and Chicago … M/F Arturo Alvarez lost two USOC finals with Dallas, in 2005 and 2007, the Salvadoran National Teamer scoring in the ‟07 Final … In all, the five current RSL players have helped their teams make a combined 10 LHUSOC Final appearances …

Current RSL Open Cup finalists (*won title):

M/F Arturo Alvarez: 2005 (DAL), 2007 (DAL)

MF Ned Grabavoy: 2005 (LA)*

MF Kyle Beckerman: 2000 (MIA)

GK Nick Rimando: 2000 (MIA)

MF Andy Williams: 1998 (CLB), 2000 (MIA), 2001 (NE), 2003 (CHI)*, 2004 (CHI)

OPEN CUP ROAD CONTINUES: For RSL to achieve its

goal of utilizing an Open Cup title as a means back to the CONCACAF Champions League, it will have to emerge victorious in four games, including last Tuesday‟s 2-0 win against Wilmington … RSL is now paired on July 12 in the Quarterfinal Round against MLS rival FC Dallas … and would host the Semifinal on Aug. 30 against the LA/Seattle winner …

The LHUSOC Final is slated for October 4, with the RSL/DAL v LA/SEA winner facing NY/CHI/KC or Richmond) …

ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE OPEN

CUP, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK: Dating back to

1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest cup competition in United States soccer and is among the oldest in the world … Open to all affiliated amateur and professional teams in the United States, the annual U.S. Open Cup is a 97-year-old single-elimination tournament … The U.S. Open Cup is similar to domestic cup competitions popular throughout Europe, South America and the rest of the world … Cup competitions, which usually run concurrent with a country‟s league season, are open in the early stages to any club that can qualify, giving local amateur teams a chance to compete against the best teams a country has to offer … This year again guarantees the “David vs. Goliath” match-ups tournament fans have desired, as the eight MLS teams which advance to the 40-team tournament proper will take on survivors from the USL and amateur ranks during the competition‟s “Round of 16” in mid-June … Since its inception in 1996, Major League Soccer teams have won 14 of the last 15 U.S. Open Cup titles …

MLS TEAMS IN THE “PRO ERA” OPEN CUP:

YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES … In the Lamar

Hunt U.S. Open Cup, some rules and regulations differ from the MLS regular season … Should a match finish tied at the end of regulation, the game will go to a 30-minute added time session (split into two 15-minute halves) which will be played in their entirety (i.e., NO golden goals) … Should the added time period not yield any scores, the match will be decided by the traditional “kicks from the penalty spot” tiebreaker as mandated per FIFA guidelines …

REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS – SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011

IN SEARCH OF A TROPHY: In its history, Real Salt

Lake has registered a 3-6-1 all-time Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup record (18 GF / 22 GA) in the competition‟s games/qualifiers across 2005-10 … That record includes five qualifiers: last June‟s 1-2 (aet) loss at D.C. United; last April‟s 3-3 draw (5-3 PKs to advance) at San Jose; the 1-4 road loss at Seattle to the eventual Open Cup champions; and 2008‟s 4-0 home win over then-expansion Earthquakes and the subsequent 0-2 loss @ Columbus … As RSL embarks on its possible four-game road to the 2011 title, following is a year-by-year rundown of RSL‟s previous runs in U.S. Soccer‟s national championship tourney: 2010: Despite entering the year as the defending MLS Cup Champions, RSL was forced on the road to pursue Open Cup hardware due to its 11-12-7 regular-season MLS mark in 2009 … Last April 14 at San Jose, RSL stormed out to a 2-0 lead at Buck Shaw Stadium with goals by FW Robbie Findley and MF Nelson Gonzalez, but it was former Earthquake and current RSL player Arturo Alvarez that led the SJ comeback, scoring in the 88‟ to force overtime and assisting on a goal in 103‟ to give the „Quakes the lead … RSL battled back in OT, DF Nat Borchers heading home a Robbie Russell cross in the 118‟ to force PKs, where RSL won 5-3, GK Kyle Reynish saving the Alvarez effort in the 1

st frame to make the difference …

Last June, RSL played at RFK Stadium against D.C. United to determine the final MLS spot in the Open Cup proper, just days before visiting the White House to celebrate its MLS Cup win in 2009 … With FW Robbie Findley away at the World Cup, captain Kyle Beckerman and perennial starters Andy Williams and Chris Wingert unavailable, RSL started a 4-5-1 with new faces and players in new positions … After a scoreless first 60 minutes, both sides wilting in extreme heat and humidity, RSL inserted MF Javier Morales, FW Fabian Espindola and FW Alvaro Saborio in the 63‟ to inject life into the RSL attack, switching back to the 4-4-2 diamond … D.C. scored first, however, on a 75‟ PK, as rookie MF Collen Warner was adjudged to have handled a Chris Pontius shot following a stellar Reynish save … RSL MF Will Johnson answered back with a PK of his own just 8 minutes later, and the sides went to extra time … Teenage RSL MF Luis Gil made his debut for the squad entering to start the OT, but it was another teen phenom – United‟s Andy Najar – that came on for the final 15 minutes and provided the goal that sent D.C. on to the tourney proper … 2009: RSL kicked off its qualifying road for the 2009 LHUSOC at Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA, the Sounders‟ training field … Expansion Seattle won a coin toss to host RSL, the Western Conference finalist from the year prior … The Sounders scored goals three minutes apart – in each half – to tally a 4-1 win over RSL, Sebastian LeToux tallying two goals and two assists … MF Will Johnson scored an unassisted goal in the 32

nd minute to cut the Sounders lead

in half after goals by LeToux (24‟) and Sanna Nyassi (26‟), but Roger Levesque (53‟) and LeToux (55‟) followed up in the 2

nd half …

2008: RSL kicked off its qualifying prospects for the 2008 U.S. Open Cup with a dominating, 4-0 late-April win at Rice-Eccles, as RSL MF Kyle Beckerman got the ball rolling with goals in the 21

st and 33

rd minutes … RSL would then punish

the „Quakes off the kick-off seconds later, as FW Yura Movsisyan converted the turnover into RSL‟s second goal inside the minute to put the game out of reach … RSL MF Andy Williams made sure he maintained his Open Cup scoring mastery, slotting home in the 90

th minute to close out

the scoring … GK Chris Seitz saw his initial first-team action of 2008 and recorded his first career clean sheet with his four-save effort … A month later in Columbus, Crew goals by Steven Lenhart (26‟) and Robbie Rogers (53‟) sandwiched around a 49

th-minute Dema Kovalenko red card ended

RSL‟s 2008 Open Cup chances … 2007: RSL kicked off its run to the 2007 U.S. Open Cup on by taking a 2-1 overtime victory over the Kansas City Wizards in a “play-in” contest … A Jeff Cunningham penalty kick a dozen minutes in appeared as if it would stand tall, but a goal by KC‟s Sasha Victorine in the 88

th minute

would send the match to added extra time … In the game‟s 109

th minute, Andy Williams again was the hero, finishing a

nifty give-and-go from 15 yards out to lift RSL … In the next round, however, for the second consecutive season, RSL‟s Open Cup run ended at the hands of the hated Colorado Rapids, as two Jacob Peterson goals, including one 3 minutes into stoppage time, led the Rapids to a 2-1 win over RSL … Chris Klein scored the 64

th-minute equalizer in

Jason Kreis‟ Open Cup coaching debut, but it wasn‟t enough to send the game into OT … 2006: Real Salt Lake saw added time once again in its 2006 USOC opener against another USL-1 side, Virginia Beach Mariners, but this time it was RSL getting the goal in overtime, as Andy Williams’ 93

rd-minute strike lifted the

MLS side to a 2-1 win in the Third Round, marking its first-ever USOC victory … RSL‟s run would be a short one, as the Utah side had the better of the play at home against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado, but the Rapids‟ Peterson got the only goal in a 1-0 win in a 4

th Round affair

… 2005: RSL saw its inaugural run in the 2005 Open Cup end abruptly, as tournament upstart Minnesota Thunder overcame a Jason Kreis hat trick – the only 3-goal performance in RSL history in all competitions, prior to Robbie Findley‟s effort in April „09 – to post a wild 6-4 upset in a Third Round match the USL First Division side took to a 30-minute added time session thanks to an 88

th minute

equalizer …

th on the list with a score of 

8.94. FC Dallas and the Los Angeles Galaxy (Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez) are the only teams in MLS to have two players in the top 10.   KEEPING TOP TALENT – UGO IHEMELU Continuing the team’s trend of resigning key players, FC Dallas signed center back Ugo Ihemelu to a contract extension through 2015, the team announced on June 30. Ihemelu commands an FC Dallas backline that has eight shutouts on the year, best in MLS. The 28 year old defender ranks 93

rd on the list of minutes played all‐time with 13,620. 

“It’s nice to know that the club believes in me and they want me to be around. It’s really an honor,” Ihemelu said. “I grew up watching this team play and to be back here playing for the club is really awesome.”  STREAKING, DALLAS STLYE  FC Dallas fell 4‐1 to Sporting Kansas City on June 12 to end a nine‐game unbeaten streak. Dallas also holds the record for the longest single‐season unbeaten streak in MLS history (19 games: 05/27/10 ‐ 10/09/2010). Kevin Hartman and the FC Dallas defense currently have the longest shutout streak of the season (531 minutes). The team has also shut out its last two opponents, creating a second shutout streak of the season. The streak is currently at 199 minutes.  SUPPORTERS SHIELD  FC Dallas’ 2‐0 win against Columbus, combined with L.A.’s 0‐0 draw with Seattle, puts FCD in a position to be the number one team in MLS Saturday night against Real Salt Lake. A win would give Dallas 37 points, the most in the league, depending on the outcome of Saturday’s match between the Galaxy and the Chicago Fire. Should it happen, it would be the first time FC Dallas was the top team in MLS since May 10, 2008.    FEWEST MINUTES TRAILED THIS SEASON Los Angeles  172 Salt Lake    196 Dallas    273 New York    292 Philadelphia  329 Seattle     362  GOALS ALLOWED PER GAME FCDs’ 3‐2 loss to the Portland Timbers on April 17 marked the first time in 40 regular‐season games that the team gave up three goals in a single match. The last time Dallas gave up three goals was on Sept. 19, 2009 in a 3‐2 loss in Kansas City. FC Dallas’ 4‐1 loss to Sporting Kansas City on June 12 marked the first time in 60 regular season games that the team gave up four goals. Prior to that game, the last was on July 24, 2009. Previously, the last time FC Dallas gave up four goals at home was on May 18, 2008 when FC Dallas fell to L.A. 5‐1 – a stretch of 99 games.  GOALS SCORED/GOALS ALLOWED INTERVALS Currently second in goals scored this season, FC Dallas (26) leads MLS in goals scored between the 16
