SANDY, Utah – After giving up a goal in the first four minutes of the match, Real Salt Lake leveled the game with a beautiful strike by forward Jefferson Savarino.
The goal came in the 37th minute with Marcelo Silva winning a header that landed to Damir Kreilach, who passed to Albert Rusnak.
Rusnak found Kyle Beckerman at the top of the box and he immediately passed to Savarino firing the shot with his left foot past the goalkeeper.
