Toronto FC's latest result - a 1-1 draw with Kansas City this past Sunday [http://mlsefans.com/index.cfm?n35167s604c1347197t620o4557] -has us excited about tonight's match-up. TFC (4-7-2)continues their quest to earn the first road victory in franchise history when the team visits Utah to face Real Salt Lake (1-5-6).

These two clubs have yet to meet on the pitch, but they have dealt with each other off of it. Earlier in the season the teams worked out a trade that saw Jeff Cunningham come to Toronto in exchange for Alecko Eskandarian and a first-round MLS draft pick. Cunningham has found the net twice for TFC, and will look for support from Maurice Edu to give TFC a scoring punch. The game will also give us our first look at Tyrone Marshall as he will be looked upon to make an immediate impact with Marvell Wynne away on international duty.

Real Salt Lake currently sit in last place of the Western Conference. The team's only victory of the year came in their last match, a 2-1 victory at home against DC United. RSL will be looking to put together back to back wins for the first time this season, but will be forced to do so without its young star in the making, Freddy Adu, who is representing the U.S. in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. RSL will be led by #8 Attacking Midfielder Chris Brown, who leads the team in goals with three, as well as #20 Forward Robbie Findley. It was Findley who supplied the offence in the victory over D.C, scoring both goals in his RSL debut.
