Real Salt Lake News Release


Toronto FC, but an 87th minute goal by FW Robbie Findley would be enough to lift the Utah side to a thrilling 2-1 victory in front of 12,319 fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium this evening. After a scoreless first half for both sides, Real Salt Lake (7-6-6, 27 pts.) got some help in the final third from DF Jamison Olave, who finished off a cross from fellow back-liner Chris Wingert in the 63rd minute to move the scoreboard to 1-0, RSL. An Olave foul in the 84th minute set up a free kick for Toronto FC (6-7-4, 22 pts.) just outside the penalty area, and Reds MF Amado Guevara appeared to grab a share of the spoils for the visitors by converting the dead ball opportunity from 25 yards out into the upper left corner of goal to draw the match even at 1-1. But Findley provided the dramatic finish for Real Salt Lake three minutes later, as his sliding finish from 14 yards out off a rebounded shot allowed RSL to take the lead for good and head into an 18-day break with a four-point lead in the Western Conference standings over second-place sharers Houston and Los Angeles.
