Real Salt Lake News Release


SANDY, Utah (Monday, September 27, 2010) - After clinching a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs over the weekend, Real Salt Lake (3-1-0, 9 pts. in CCL play) will look to secure another step in this season's master plan tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 28, when the Utah side will square off against Toronto FC (1-2-1, 4 pts.) during Matchweek #5 of the CONCACAF Champions League Group Stage. With a win or draw in Toronto tomorrow evening, Real Salt Lake will lock up one of the group's two berths into the Championship Stage of the regional competition next spring.

Kickoff for tomorrow's pivotal CCL contest is slated for 6:00 p.m. MT at BMO Field in Toronto for a match airing LIVE on Fox Soccer Channel. Claret-and-Cobalt fans can also listen to the match live on RSL's official radio partners - ESPN700 & ESPN700Sports.com (Enlgish), ESPN Deportes 1600 (Spanish), and Homero 106.1 (Spanish), or follow the proceedings live online via RSL's Official Twitter Feed, located at www.Twitter.com/RealSaltLake.

Tuesday's match-up will close out a span of three meetings between Real Salt Lake and Toronto FC over the last month, which began with a scoreless affair at BMO Field back on Aug. 28 in MLS regular season play. Toronto made the trek to Sandy for CCL action during Matchweek #3 on Sept. 15, the visitors taking a brief lead before RSL continued its Rio Tinto Stadium dominance courtesy of a 4-1 victory. The Utah side also captured a 2-1 win over the Reds in regular season play back on May 1 in Sandy. While RSL is still searching for its first-ever goal at BMO Field, the squad has also allowed only a pair of scores en route to an 0-2-2 record in four previous contests on the shores of Lake Ontario.
