REAL SALT LAKE vs PORTLAND TIMBERS RIO TINTO STADIUM, Sandy, Utah

August 30, 2013 (WEEK 27, MLS Game #243) 8 p.m. MT (NBC SN) Real Salt Lake and the Portland Timbers meet for the second time in nine days in a critical match for both clubs in the chase for Western Conference playoff positions when they clash Friday night at Rio Tinto Stadium before an NBC Sports Network audience. RSL still hold the top spot in the division and the MLS overall table following their dominant 4-0 win against Columbus last weekend, while the Timbers started their road swing with a 1-0 loss at archrival Seattle. A stoppage-time goal – after going a man down – pulled RSL back into a 3-3 tie in Portland on Aug. 21. REFEREE: Baldomero Toledo. AR1 (bench): Corey Rockwell; AR2 (opposite): C.J.

The teams are meeting for the second time in league play this season, within a nine-day span. They reached a wild 3-3 draw Aug. 21 at Jeld-Wen Field as Cole Grossman scored deep in stoppage time to pull a 10-man RSL back into a 3-3 draw.

The Timbers have won once in six league meetings all-time – a 1-0 win in the first encounter between the clubs, April 30, 2011 in Portland.

The teams also played in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal Aug. 7 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Alvaro Saborio scored in the seventh minute and Joao Plata netted in the 78th to lead RSL to a 2-1 victory; Diego Valeri scored a late stoppage time goal for Portland.

LAST MEETING (MLS) 8/21: POR 3, RSL 3 (Wallace 24; Valeri 57; Alhassan 86 – Borchers 38; Morales 43; Grossman 93+)

Portland struck first in the 24th minute when Diego Valeri picked out Rodney Wallace at the top of the six on a free kick from the left, and Wallace sent a clinical header past RSL goalkeeper Jeff Attinella.

But RSL found the equalizer in the 38th minute after a Javier Morales cross found Joao Plata in the box. Plata saw his shot stopped by Portland ‘keeper Donovan Ricketts, but Nat Borchers was on the spot to tap home the rebound from close range.

Real pulled ahead just before halftime when Morales got tangled up with Portland defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste, leading referee Ricardo Salazar to point to the spot, where Morales easily converted. But the Timbers pulled level in the 56th minute after defender Brandon McDonald was called for a handball in the box, and Diego Valeri calmly converted the spot kick.

With 11 minutes to play, RSL went a man down when Yordany Alvarez saw a straight red card for a hard tackle on Diego Chara. The Timbers took advantage four minutes from the end when a cross from the left fell right to the feet of Kalif Alhassan off an RSL defender, and he blasted home from 12 yards out.

Yet Real had one final answer. A low pass from the right flank was cleared by Jean-Baptiste -- but only as far as Cole Grossman, and he stroked home a low shot inside the right post from the edge of the box.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-1-3): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell, Pa Modou Kah, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Michael Harrington - Diego Chara, Ben Zemanski - Diego Valeri (Ryan Miller 88) - Darlington Nagbe (Kalif Alhassan 78), Ryan Johnson (Jose Adolfo Valencia 63), Rodney Wallace.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Jeff Attinella - Tony Beltran, Brandon McDonald, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Ned Grabavoy, Yordany Alvarez (ejected 79), Khari Stephenson (Luis Gil 62) - Javier Morales - Robbie Findley (Olmes Garcia 75), Joao Plata (Cole Grossman 82).


REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake rolled to their first victory in three weeks in league play, cruising to a 4-0 victory against the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL lead the Western Conference and MLS overall table with 45 points from 26 games. LAST MATCH

Real took the lead first-half stoppage time through some good fortune. A Javier Morales free kick from about 10 yards outside the box went directly at the wall, but deflected through it and off Kyle Beckerman into the net. Crew goalkeeper Matt Lampson was wrong-footed and could only watch the ball go past after the deflection.

Six minutes after halftime, the lead was doubled when Olmes Garcia sent a cross across the box and Devon Sandoval easily slotted home.

Real Salt Lake made it 3-0 in the 82nd minute, Luis Gil showing some slick movement in fooling a defender before tucking a shot past Lampson. Beckerman capped off his brace in the 89th minute with a one-time finish from 12 yards out after a centering pass from the left deflected off a defender.

The Crew finished the game a man down when Federico Higuain was ejected after receiving his second yellow card of the night during second-half stoppage time.

RSL head coach Jason Kreis made six changes to the team that came back for a 3-3 draw with the Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field. Nick Rimando came in between the posts for Jeff Attinella, Carlos Salcedo started in central defense for Brandon McDonald, Luis Gil and Kyle Beckerman came into the midfield in place of Khari Stephenson and the suspended Yordany Alvarez, and Olmes Garcia and Devon Sandoval started up top for Robbie Findley and Joao Plata.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Carlos Salcedo, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Luis Gil, Kyle Beckerman, Ned Grabavoy (Cole Grossman 87) - Javier Morales - Olmes Garcia (Robbie Findley 62), Devon Sandoval (Sebastian Velasquez 81).

TEAM NEWS RSL scored a season-high four goals for a second time this season, also netting four in a 4-1 win against

Chivas USA on May 19 in Carson. “I thought it was the most complete performance we’ve had in a match this year, and it comes at the right time

because we’re at our most critical stretch,” said Real head coach Jason Kreis. “We have a lot to play for and a lot to look forward to. We needed to put some confidence behind our boot and that’s exactly what we got."

Real have scored goals in 18 consecutive games, hitting for multiple goals in 14 of those. They’ve hit for three or more goals on seven occasions.

“That same situation, where I think we made five or six changes from Wednesday to Saturday, and we get the right number of fresh players on the field, it’s how we can play a high intensity match like we played,” said Kreis. “Big credit to the guys that played three 90’s, but also credit to all of the fresh players who contributed.”

Kyle Beckerman scored two goals in a game for just the second time in his 14-year MLS career. Beckerman also scored twice April 12, 2008, for RSL vs. D.C. United.

“Goals are just fun. They’re fun to score. It’s a great feeling after it happens, and it’s always good to get on the stat line to help the team in that way,” Beckerman said. “We’re just going to continue to try and get better. I think that we can get even better than we were tonight and keep improving, keep our head down, keep working hard and get ready for the playoffs.”

Luis Gil scored his first goal since July 3, adding to his single-season career-high with his fourth goal this season.

“I feel like personally I have been more committed defensively, but my offense has been coming around. I think just lately I have been getting more into the attack and getting some chances to score besides with my head,” Gil said. “ … But now, I am more comfortable and starting to concentrate on going forward, putting myself in position to score goals.”

Making his first start since June 29 in a league game, Devon Sandoval scored his second MLS goal. He had made just one appearance in the intervening eight MLS matches.

“I’ve never been even close to coaching a team having five forwards I really believe in,” Kreis said. “I’m extremely happy with them.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers suffered their second consecutive defeat on the road, dropping a 1-0 decision to archrival Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday evening at CenturyLink Field. The Timbers are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 39 points from 25 matches. LAST MATCH

The game's only goal came right on the hour. Mauro Rosales whipped in a free kick from out on the left flank and Eddie Johnson sent a perfect glancing header into the back of the net.

Michael Gspurning was called upon to make four saves, including a pair of crucial stops in the dying minutes of the game, for the shutout.


Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes to the team that reached a 3-3 tie with Real Salt Lake at Jeld-Wen Field. Jack Jewsbury and Kalif Alhassan came into the team in place of Diego Chara and Ben Zemanski.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-4-1): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell (Sal Zizzo 81), Pa Modou Kah, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Michael Harrington - Jack Jewsbury (Ben Zemanski 86) - Darlington Nagbe, Kalif Alhassan, Diego Valeri, Rodney Wallace - Ryan Johnson (Jose Adolfo Valencia 61).

TEAM NEWS The Timbers saw their road winless streak extended to six games in the loss at Seattle. The Timbers are

undefeated in their last 10 games in Portland. “I thought at times we were the better team. But, in the end, we're going to keep suffering if we don't find goals

and if we don't continue to sort out set pieces,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “This game will continue to be cruel and we'll continue to leave games feeling disappointed unless we find goals and unless we stop goals.”

While Portland has the best record after allowing the first goal this season, with 10 points from 10 games where they’ve conceded the opener, all four of their losses have come in those matches.

“Once they scored the first goal, to some extent, they had more time and space to operate, which is to be expected, because we're now pushing through to try and level it,” Porter said. “But up to that point, we really looked to be the team that was in control, the team that was pushing the game, the team that was going to be in a position to win the game.”

The Timbers allowed a sixth goal this season from a free kick, second-most in MLS (behind the LA Galaxy’s 7). They’ve allowed eight goals from deadball situations, tied for third-most in the league.

“With the way we play, with the way we built this team, with depth we have, with the mental toughness we have, with the fighting spirit we have in this locker room, we will go into every game, we will have the ball, we'll be tough to break down defensively and we'll be in positions to score goals,” said Porter. “And yet, we won't win unless we find goals and we won't win unless we stop teams from executing set pieces.”

“I thought we were fantastic,” fullback Michael Harrington said. “They really didn’t have much at all. It’s one of the most talented, if not the most talented front lines in the league, and I don’t think they really had much at all.”

With Will Johnson still sidelined, for a third consecutive match, with a shoulder injury, and Diego Chara suspended, Kalif Alhassan was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since July 19.

Jack Jewsbury also came back into the first team after not featuring in either of the last two matches, vs. FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake.

“I haven’t talked about injuries all season long because that’s just not my style to make excuses,” Porter said. “I could make excuses going into every game because we’ve had injuries almost every single game. In the end, nobody cares if you have injuries; they want you to figure it out.”

THIRD TIME IN 24 DAYS FOR RSL v PDX: Friday’s nationally-televised match - only the 2nd of the year for the MLS Supporters Shield leading RSL - marks the third time these teams have met in August, with RSL winning 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium in a U.S. Open Cup Semifinal at Rio Tinto Stadium ...

On August 7, RSL advanced to the 100th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final by riding a 7’ header from FW Alvaro Saborio - his 2nd ever goal in Open Cup play - and a 78’ curling blast from FW Joao Plata that proved to be the difference, after Timbers MF Diego Valeri headed home the rebound of his own saved shot in the 90’ to create a tense final 4’ of stoppage ...

Just last week, RSL earned a wild 3-3 draw at Portland in a game with lead changes, two PKs, a red card and a stoppage-time equalizer from an unlikely hero ...

MF Cole Grossman - making just his 2nd appearance of the season, 141 days after a March concussion in Dallas - one-timed a saved Luis Gil shot in the 93+’ to salvage a 3-3 draw ... Grossman’s first-ever RSL goal brought RSL back to overcome a 78’ Yordany Alvarez red card and the absences of GK Nick Rimando (illness), Capt Kyle Beckerman (suspension) and FW Alvaro Saborio (injury) ...

CLUB SCORING RECORD SHATTERED:By virtue of last week’s 4-0 dismantling of Columbus, RSL now has 48 goals scored on the season, two more than last year’s previous club mark ... With 7 games remaining, RSL owns a +15 goal differential, 10 shy of the league and club mark set back in 2010 (+25) ...

RSL has scored in 22 consecutive games across all competitions (18 in MLS), also a club record for avoiding the shutout ...

RSL PROBABLE STARTERS v PORTLAND

RAREFIED AIR OF SUSTAINED SUCCESS:A win Friday would put RSL on the precipice of both the 15-win and 50-point plateaus for the fourth consecutive season, something no MLS club has accomplished in the post-shootout era ...

D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 teams, as well as Los Angeles Galaxy 2010/11/12 join RSL 2010-12 as the only others to have also accomplished both feats ...

RIO TINTO REGAINING FORTRESS STATUS?: RSL’s 4-0 win over CLB Saturday was the club’s 12th at home of the season in all competitions, improving Jason Kreis’ team to 12-2-3 (36/15 GF/GA), now 72-14-22 in its last 108 home games dating back to the beginning of 2008, Kreis’ first full season ...

In that span, RSL has outscored opponents by 130 goals (206-76), with a 57-11-24 reg. season mark (168/61), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 3-1-1 playoffs (5/2), 5-1-0 Open Cup (16/8) and 2-0-1 int’l exhibition (5/2) ... All-time, RSL is now 72-30-37 in MLS regular-season play during 8+ seasons at home, outscoring opponents 228-133 ...

Despite 6 home losses last year and 11 in the last three seasons, as well as the Oct. 23 eliminatory draw in CCL play, it appears the #RioT magic is regained ...

LONGEST ACTIVE POSTSEASON STREAK:RSL’s current streak of 5 consecutive MLS Cup Playoff berths is the longest active run of postseason competition ... RSL’s 5-year run ties LA, CHI, DC & KC for the 3rd-longest streak in the post-shootout MLS era, while NE had 8 consecutive years and NY 6 since 2000 ...

Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last four seasons ...

RSL v PORTLAND BROADCAST INFO

RSL INJURY REPORT



HOW DOES 2013 COMPARE?:A year ago, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchise-high 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-per-game average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2012’s record-setting goal haul has been shattered ... This season’s key numbers as season enters final 7 games:

Year W-L-T Pts PPG Pct GF GA +/- Finish2013 13-8-6 45 1.67 .593 48 33 15 ???2012 17-11-6 57 1.70 .566 46 35 11 WCSF2011 15-11-8 53 1.56 .520 44 36 8 WCF2010 15-4-11 56 1.87 .622 45 20 25 WCSF2009 11-12-7 40 1.33 .444 43 35 8 Cup2008 10-10-10 40 1.33 .444 40 39 1 WCF

KREIS PUTS PUZZLE TOGETHER:While much has been made of RSL’s depth - 27 players seeing first-team minutes in MLS play this season, including a club-record 26 with at least one start - a deeper look explains why RSL has been so dependent on its bench: the team has seen 27 games lost so far this year to international duty, with 58 games lost due to injury and another 10 due to suspension ...

By missing six players to international duty (World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup, U-20 World Championship), RSL has seen more players lost than any club in North America (including Santo Laguna of Mexico, that country’s main contributor to WCQ) ... The list:

6 - FW Alvaro Saborio - Costa Rica WCQ / Gold Cup5 - GK Nick Rimando - USA WCQ / Gold Cup5- MF Kyle Beckerman - USA WCQ / Gold Cup5 - MF Luis Gil - US Under-20 World Cup4 - DF Tony Beltran - USA Gold Cup2 - DF Abdoulie Mansally - The Gambia

INJURY ABSENCES: 58 games (and counting*): Watson-Siriboe 13*, Schuler 11, Wingert 9, Saborio 8, Morales 4, Borchers 3, Saunders 8*, Salcedo 2 (DF Rich Balchan & MF John Stertzer not included here)

SUSPENSIONS: 10 games: Alvarez 5 (2 red/3 disc comm), Wingert 2 (2 disc comm), Beltran 1 (red), Palmer 1 (red), Beckerman 1 (caution accumulation)

Only MF Enzo Martinez (currently on loan at Carolina), MF John Stertzer (who did make 2 appearances), MF David Viana (waived on June 28) and DF Rich Balchan have not yet started a 2013 MLS game ...

RSL has the fortune of no games in the upcoming Sept. & Oct. FIFA windows, so while Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando (USA) and Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica) might see extra travel, they will not miss any MLS contests ...

MLS COACHING ELITE, ALL-TIME: RSL boss Jason Kreis and HOU mgr Dominic Kinnear are the two young American coaches most often discussed for future USMNT and other high-profile jobs ... The duo rank 3-4 in terms of active MLS coaches in wins, winning % and points - behind SEA coach Sigi Schmid and LA coach Bruce Arena ...

All-time, Kreis is 7th in points & wins but 5th in winning %, with last week’s win over Warzycha giving Jason his 87th MLS win, surpassing Bob Gansler ... The list, through games of 8/24/13:

COACH TM W L T PCT PTSSigi Schmid SEA* 183 126 98 .571 645 Bruce Arena LA* 156 95 50 .604 494Dominic Kinnear HOU* 124 83 98 .567 470Frank Yallop SJ* 117 107 84 .516 435 Bob Bradley CHV* 124 94 54 .555 416Steve Nicol NE 112 108 81 .507 415Jason Kreis RSL 87 69 55 .543 316Bob Gansler KC 86 85 51 .502 305

BALANCED SLATE DOWN THE STRETCH:Jason Kreis’ team clings to the MLS Supporters Shield lead with 45 points and a 4-point margin over Montreal - which has a better PPG - with a remaining split of 4 home / 3 away games in MLS play, with all 7 of the remaining games against Western Conference foes ... RSL will also host D.C. United in the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final at Rio Tinto Stadium on Oct. 1 ...

4 of the club’s final 7 games are against Cascadia teams, with RSL traveling to both Seattle and Vancouver in Sept., and hosting Portland on August 30 prior to traveling to PDX on Oct. 19 ... RSL’s remaining home games after Friday against the TImbers see the club host SJ, DAL and CHV ...

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE (GOALS):Including four Open Cup matches, the 52 RSL goals in the last 21 games have been scored from 17 different sources - by 16 different players - surpassing the club’s total number of goalscorers for the entirety of 2012 ... The latest man to newly contribute to the RSL attack was MF Cole Grossman, whose equalizer at Portland 10 days ago was the former Duke standout’s second-ever MLS goal - and his first for RSL ...

RSL DF Nat Borchers also scored Aug. 7 in Portland to add his name to the list of 2013 scorers - now 16 across all competitions - as only 10 players scored for RSL in MLS, U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League play a year ago during the 2012 season ...

The most remarkable contribution could be from DF Tony Beltran and his partner at outside back Chris Wingert, as the pair each scored their 2nd career professional goals in the June 26 3-0 Open Cup win ... The pair have combined for more than 30,000 MLS minutes all-time, as Beltran also scored in a 2011 RSL Open Cup win at home (v Wilmington Hammerheads), while Wingert found the back of the net in a May 2010 win at Chivas ... During its best-ever regular-season in 2010, RSL saw goals that year from a franchise-high 16 different players ...


FAMILIAR FACES ON THE WASATCH: Back on August 7, prior to the Open Cup Semifinal, the return of former RSL culture-changer Will Johnson (2008-12) garnered all headlines, but another trio of Timbers once called Utah their MLS home ... FW Ryan Johnson (2006), DF David Horst (2008-10) and DF Rauwshan McKenzie (2010-11) now represent the Rose City ...

Ryan Johnson was drafted by RSL back in 2006 out of Oregon State before being traded to Chicago Fire in exchange for DF Jack Stewart, while McKenzie was waived prior to the 2012 season and spent most of the last 18 months with Chivas USA ... Horst was claimed by Portland in the 2011 expansion draft by Portland, which also selected Robbie Findley before trading his rights back to RSL prior to this season ...

2012 REWIND: 3-GAME RSL SWEEP of PDX:A year ago, RSL swept the MLS season series between the clubs, wrapping a pair of one-goal wins over Portland around a dominant 3-0 home win - courtesy of an Alvaro Saborio hat trick, at the time just the 3rd in club history ... That sweep and the Open Cup semi puts RSL at 4-1-2 all-time against PDX across all comps ...

Only one other time in its 279-game MLS history has RSL gone unbeaten in three games against the same opponent in the same season, posting a 2-0-1 mark against San Jose back in 2008 ... RSL also earned 7 points in 2007 against Colorado, but also saw a loss in the clubs’ 4 total meetings that year ...

This year, RSL has won both games against SEA, SJ and CHV, with an opportunity for 3-game sweeps coming in Sept/Oct ...

MORE HISTORY vs TIMBERS:Back in 2011, RSL failed to defeat the Timbers in either meeting, dropping an 0-1 decision in its first-ever visit to Oregon, a Kenny Cooper header just before halftime dooming RSL 72 hours following the CCL Final loss to Monterrey ...

On the final day of 2011, just 72 hours after Portland was eliminated from postseason contention at DC, an 89’ Futty Danso goal salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Timbers at Rio Tinto Stadium ...

DOMINANT HOME WIN A WEEK AGO:RSL’s 4-0 home win over Columbus - featuring a brace from Captain Kyle Beckerman, and goals from both rookie FW Devon Sandoval and MF Luis Gil - was the club’s first 4-goal win at home since July 2011 (4-0 over SJ), and RSL’s first since last Sept. at Chivas (also 4-0) ...

Beckerman’s brace was only the 2nd of his RSL career, last scoring twice in 2008 in a home victory over D.C. United ...

Sandoval now has 5 goals in 7 starts across all comps (2 MLS / 3 Open Cup scores), while Gil and Beckerman each have 4 goals on the season, part of the 7-man group with 4+ goals so far ...

TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROAD:RSL now owns 18 of its league-leading 45 points from a 5-6-3 road record through 14 road matches, still on pace to surpass the club’s 6-7-4 (22 point) mark on the road in MLS play last year, setting a new club record for road points for the historically road-weary side ...

The Aug. 7 draw at POR moved RSL’s all-time MLS reg. season road mark to 30-76-34 (.322; 144 GF / 224 GA) through 140 all-time road contests in League play … Since Jason Kreis took over in May, 2007, RSL’s MLS road mark is slowly rising at 26-52-29, meaning that RSL earns a road point in over 50% of the time under Jason’s guidance ...

RSL’s 5-win total on the road so far this season equals the 2011 mark and bests every year except 2012, while the 17-point total is better than any of the 2005-09 campaigns and just one win shy of the 2010/11 records of 19 points ...

The new team mark of 6 road wins last year was one better than in 2011, exceeding the four achieved in 2010, and more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons …

HISTORIC ROAD WINS IN 2013:Back on July 13, Jason Kreis’ team weathered the early storm at Dallas to record a 3-0 road win, breaking its “Texas Hex” to win on Lone Star soil for the first time ever in 23 attempts, courtesy of a Javier Morales game-winning goal, heroics from Josh Saunders and Jeff Attinella in the net and insurance strikes from Ned Grabavoy & Olmes Garcia ...

RSL has won 4 of its last 8 away from home (at TOR, at CHV, at NE and at DAL, with only stoppage-time stunners at MTL and at NY shocking RSL), also snapping its Canadian “donut” during the stretch, winning on June 29 in Toronto ... RSL has still never won in Washington, D.C. (9 MLS or Open Cup attempts), Philadelphia (3 draws) or Houston (0-8-1 all-time) ...

GALACTIC LOSS FOR RSL DEFENDERS:The August 17 road loss at LA for outside backs Tony Beltran and Chris Wingert was the first of the year for RSL, the club now posting an 11-1-1 mark in MLS and USOC play when both are on the field together this season ... While 19-year old centerback Carlos Salcedo saw first-hand the genius of Robbie Keane, he is now 7-1-2 as a starter with the first team ...

The lone previous blemish for both the Beltran/Wingert mark as well as Salcedo’s record came in the home May 25 1-1 decision against Chicago, when an 84’ Quincy Amerikwa goal erased Alvaro Saborio’s 80’ header ...


DIAMOND DEPARTURES FORTUITOUS:For the 2nd time in 3 games back on July 13 in Dallas, RSL boss Jason Kreis rolled out an alternative to his preferred 4-4-2 diamond formation, RSL employing a 4-2-3-1 ...

In the midfield, Javier Morales was flanked by both Luis Gil and Sebastian Velasquez ahead of D-mids Ned Grabavoy & Yordany Alvarez, with Robbie Findley deployed as a lone striker up top ...

Two weeks earlier, on June 29 in Toronto, choosing to put a pair of D-mids - Captain Kyle Beckerman and understudy Alvarez - behind playmaker Morales, with two speedy wingers - Joao Plata & Olmes Garcia - on either side of target man Devon Sandoval ...

These departures from the 4-4-2 diamond that has become Kreis’ RSL signature are the club’s first different looks to start a game since July, 2011, in an 0-1 loss at Dallas ... With MF Yordany Alvarez suspended Aug. 17 v HOU, the idea of pairing a D-mid next to a well-traveled and potentially exhausted Beckerman becomes more difficult ...

In a 4-2-1-3 rollout at home, Kreis did place Grabavoy next to Beckerman and put Plata & Garcia on either side up high next to Alvaro Saborio, the Costa Rican converting a 38’ PK for the game’s only goal, improving RSL to a perfect 3-0-0 when Kreis departs from the diamond ...

FORWARD-THINKING FORTITUDE:By deploying that new-look 4-3-3 at home v HOU 2 weeks ago, the formation marked Jason Kreis’ 12th different strike tandem in 31 MLS/Open Cup games: 3/3 Saborio, Findley W, 2-0 (Saborio 2g) 3/9 Saborio, Findley L, 0-1 3/16 Saborio, Findley T, 1-1 (Saborio 1g) 3/23 Plata, Findley L, 0-2 3/30 Sandoval, Findley W, 2-1 (Findley 1g) 4/6 Sandoval, Saborio L, 0-1 4/13 Saborio, Plata T, 1-1 (Garcia 1g) 4/20 Saborio, Garcia W, 1-0 (Saborio GWA) 4/27 Plata, Garcia L, 0-2 5/4 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-0 (Plata 2a) 5/8 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-1 (Sandoval 1g) 5/11 Sandoval, Garcia L, 2-3 5/19 Sandoval, Plata W, 4-1 (Plata 1g) 5/25 Findley, Plata T, 1-1 5/28 Sandoval, Findley W, 3-2 (Sandoval 1g) 6/1 Findley, Plata W, 3-0 (Findley 1g / 1a) 6/8 Findley, Plata W, 3-1 (Findley 1a) 6/12 Sandoval, Garcia W, 5-2 (Sandoval 2g) 6/22 Saborio, Findley W, 2-0 (Findley 1g, Saborio 1a) 6/26 Saborio, Findley W, 3-0 (Saborio 1g) 6/29 Plata, Sandoval, Garcia W, 1-0 (Garcia 1a) 7/3 Findley, Plata T, 2-2 7/13 Findley W, 3-0 (Garcia 1g) 7/20 Findley, Plata L, 1-2 (Findley 1g) 7/27 Saborio, Garcia L, 3-4 (Saborio 3g) 8/3 Saborio, Findley T, 2-2 (Saborio 1g) 8/7 Saborio, Findley W, 2-1 (Saborio 1g) 8/10 Plata, Saborio, Garcia W, 1-0 (Saborio 1g) 8/17 Saborio, Plata L, 2-4 (Plata 1g / Findley 1g) 8/21 Findley, Plata T, 3-3 8/24 Sandoval, Garcia W, 4-0 (Sandoval 1g, Garcia 1a)

CENTERBACK DIVERSITY AS WELL:RSL has also used EIGHT different centerback pairings during its 31 MLS & Open Cup games this season, an astounding total considering the club’s 1.08 goals against average in MLS play this season ...

SPATE OF RED CARDS ONCE AGAIN:While the club finished full strength 3 weeks ago at NY, RSL suffered its second disciplinary committee suspension in as many weeks, as MF Yordany Alvarez was suspended for his 4’ tackle on Tim Cahill ... Alvarez received a straight red in the 78’ at Portland on August 7, the club’s 5th red of the season ...

RSL had seen its outside backs ejected in three of its four games prior to 7/27 @NY, with veteran DF Chris Wingert tossed in the 66’ v KC, on the heels of USMNT DF Tony Beltran seeing red in Toronto on June 29 and replacement Lovel Palmer incredulously sent to the showers on July 3 ... The Wingert ejection was the 5th of the 25-game campaign across all comps this season, as MF Yordany Alvarez was ejected after a 2nd yellow card for diving back on March 23 at Dallas ... DF Carlos Salcedo was sent off for a 2nd yellow in stoppage time on May 8 at NE, but that card was rescinded due to mistaken identity ...

The Alvarez red on March 23 was RSL’s first in 18 MLS regular-season and playoff games ... RSL went through a period last season where it saw a total of 5 reds in 21 games (MLS and CCL), with 3 of those ejections coming in games at San Jose ...

The club suffered an RSL-record 7 ejections in 2011, after a team-best ZERO during the 2010 campaign - until Javier Morales received two yellow cards at Dallas in Leg #1 of that year’s West Semis ... All-time, RSL now has been victim of 50 MLS red cards, succumbing to a -19 goal difference in a total of 1177 minutes playing a man down …

With the ejections of FW Fabian Espindola and DF Jamison Olave last April 21 at SJ, RSL was reduced to nine men for the only time in the nine-year organization’s now 274-game MLS history, and just the second in 324 games overall (including MLS postseason matches, CONCACAF Champions League games and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches) ...


RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, returned 5 games ago and has notched 6 goals in that span, now tied for 5th in the MLS Golden Boot race after only 12 MLS appearances of the season ... After the hat trick @NY, Sabo earned MLS Player of the Week accolades after missing extended periods of time due to World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup and injuries ...

Despite the heartbreak of the 3-4 loss at NY, RSL still owns a dominating 34-6-8 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... The 4th-year MLS player joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s nine-year, 328-game history across all competitions ... In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 64 goals in 109 games, w/ 21 game-winning goals and 15 multi-goal matches (17 and 20 in 92 MLS games) ...

Prior to last year’s Aug. 18 1-2 L v DAL, the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, June 20 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ... RSL is only 19-27-17 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 17-8-6 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …

TICO SABO NO LONGER PERFECT ON PKS ...On April 6 @COL, RSL’s all-time leading scorer & Costa Rican international Alvaro Saborio saw his 8’ PK attempt saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ... In an RSL uniform, Sabo is now 11-for-12 in MLS games after beating Dynamo GK Tally Hall on Saturday, with a 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League ...

RSL’s last PK miss was 12 attempts earlier than that April 6 miss @COL, as FW Robbie Findley saw his spot kick on Sept. 9, 2010, saved @SEA by GK Kasey Keller in an eventual 0-0 draw ... All-time, RSL is now 33-for-38 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...

... BUT OPEN CUP HISTORY FROM SPOT IS:With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in the June 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

LATE-GAME HEROICS MAKE RSL “BELIEVE”:For the 2nd time in 2 months, RSL scored a short-handed goal at the death to earn a point, this time watching MF Cole Grossman slot a one-timer inside the near post to silence the Timbers Army on August 7 ... Back in July, it was a late-game PK for Javier Morales that gave 10-man RSL a comeback draw ... All-time lists for equalizers and GWG: RSL GAME-WINNERS AFTER 75’ (22 total) 93+.....................

CAPTAIN BECKERMAN 20th TO 300:“KB5” is the seventh player in MLS history with RSL ties to hit 300+ appearances, joining the following as former/current Claret-and-Cobalt players in the exclusive club (active members of the club in red):

FW Jeff Cunningham (365) GK Nick Rimando (340) - RSL GKMF Chris Klein (333)MF Andy Williams (332) - RSL Head Scout MF Kyle Beckerman (319) - RSL Captain MF Carey Talley (315) FW Jason Kreis (305) - RSL Head Coach

OTHER CRITICAL MILESTONES ON HORIZON:In addition to the recent Kreis/RSL century mark milestones, GK Nick Rimando recently became the 4th player (3rd GK) in MLS history to surpass 30,000 minutes played and has now made 340 MLS appearances (passing former RSL MF Andy Williams) ... Only Kevin Hartman (37,260) and Steve Ralston (33,142) have played more minutes than Rimando’s 30,753 ... Rimando’s next win gives him 150 in his career, extending his hold on 2nd overall (Hartman, 180), while he is now at #3 overall in saves (1,216, 148 behind 2nd-place Cannon) ... Beckerman is now #1 all-time in fouls committed with 494, surpassing former Fire/Chivas MF Jesse Marsch ... KB5 also owns sole possession of #2 in yellow cards all-time (71, 9 behind Pablo Mastroeni) ...

MORE RIMANDO MILESTONES:The June 22 2-0 W v SEA and the 1-0 W at TOR saw Rimando become RSL’s all-time appearance leader with 191 GP in MLS reg. season, surpassing 17,000 minutes, while Saturday’s clean sheet victory v CLB gives everyone’s “homeboy” 83 RSL wins and 71 clean sheets for the Utah side ...

WALL OF THE WASATCH NICKY RIMANDO:RSL GK Nick Rimando preserved the 3 points on May 8 by denying a Saer Sene PK during stoppage time @NE, with a yellow card accompanying an apparent handball in the box inadvertently given to the wrong player (DF Carlos Salcedo), resulting in a sending off for the 19-year old Academy product, who was cautioned for a high boot in the first half ...

The saved PK was the 2nd in a span of 4 games for Rimando - he stopped Mejia in the first half of the April 20 1-0 win over Chivas ... Rimando, who extended his all-time MLS PK “denial” record to 19 career stops, has held opposing PK takers to just 41-for-60 against the former DC/MIA and current RSL netminder ...

Overall, RSL ‘keepers have allowed opponents to convert only 26-of-37 attempts, with GK Nick Rimando - Major League Soccer’s most successful PK stopper - making 10 of the 11 all-time RSL stonings ... Former RSL GK Scott Garlick denied one attempt in 2006 (of the 2 he faced that season) ...

RIMANDO 2nd-EVER TO CENTURY MARK:In this year’s 2013 regular-season opener, RSL GK Nick Rimando became just the 2nd player in MLS history (Kevin Hartman) to reach 100 career clean sheets, as the veteran recorded shutout #100 March 3 in San Jose and #105 June 29 at Toronto, 70 of which have now come in the RSL Claret-and-Cobalt ... Rimando – now in his 14th year as an MLS standout who has started in every career appearance in goal, and who won MLS Cup in 2004 with United and in 2009 with RSL – came into MLS with the Miami Fusion ... A comparison of Rimando’s various MLS stints:

RIMANDO CLEAN SHEET / ASSIST COMBO:In that home match v VAN on May 4, RSL took the early 2nd-half lead when GK Nick Rimando watched a Nigel Reo-Coker free kick sail over his goal and quickly restarted play with a pinpoint goal kick, finding FW Joao Plata wide right 60 yards upfield ... Plata took a few touches and sent a cross onto the head of MF Luis Gil for the U.S. U-20 star’s second tally of the season ... The game-winning assist was Rimando’s 4th of his career and the 7th all-time helper in his 14th season ... However, May 4 v VAN marked only the second time the veteran combined a shutout - the 102nd of his career - with a game-winning assist (8/8/09, 1-0 v SEA) ...

ALL-TIME GOAL +/- TRENDS POSITIVELY:It took 265 all-time regular-season matches, but the May 19 4-1 victory @CHV put RSL’s all-time aggregate goal differential in MLS play deep into positive territory at the conclusion of a game, the club scoring 341 goals all-time while conceding 338 ... The May 8 loss @MTL by 2-3 score returned the club’s all-time ledger back to even, after the first-ever foray into +1 territory 3 days prior with the 2-1 win @NE ...

Back on Sept. 21, 2011 in a 3-1 win at Red Bull Arena in New York, RSL briefly got its goal +/- head above water, but a late Joel Lindpere goal dropped the side to even, three days before a 1-4 road loss at D.C. United ...

When Jason Kreis took over RSL four games into the club’s third season in 2007, the differential was minus-43, eventually dropping as low as minus-57 after a loss at Dallas in May, 2008 ... It took 160 regular-season matches, but RSL finally made up the difference ...

Saturday’s 4-0 win in all-time game #279 puts the club at a new all-time high-water mark of +15 ...


BECKS BRACES FOR MULTI-GOAL MADNESS: Kyle Beckerman’s two-goal effort Saturday allowed RSL to see its 45th multi-goal individual game in RSL history, across 326 games in all competitions [MLS (279), Playoff (14), CCL (16) & Open Cup (17)], with 17 of those 45 multi-goal games coming on the road … The list:

When an RSL player scores 2 or more, the team is now 37-4-4 all-time … The loss 7/27 @NY was only the 2nd in RSL’s MLS history when a multi-goal game did not result in points for the team; besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL (2010) and the 4-6 loss at Minn. in Open Cup (2005), the lone prior MLS loss came June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown’s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 setback ...

MORE MULTI-GOAL MADNESS:In 109 MLS/CCL/Open Cup/Playoff games, Saborio’s total of 15 multi-goal matches more than doubles the total of #2 Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales/Robbie Findley/Fabian Espoindola with 4 “braces” each, while “Sabo” owns the club’s lone postseason multi-goal match, coming Fall 2011 against SEA in the West Semis ...

Other RSL players to score 2+ goals: Movsisyan and Kreis (2x each), along with Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and now Ned Grabavoy and Olmes Garcia, who have each also scored 2x in a game …

THE MYTHICAL “FIRST-CHOICE XI”:While Kreis started the same XI in back-to-back games to open 2013, it hadn’t happened in 13 consecutive games until home games against SJ & LA in early June ... RSL rolled out the same XI just 4 times out of 41 games across all competitions last season ... How rare are back-to-back lineup duplicates for RSL? It happened only once in 45 games in 2011 (Aug 6/13) and just twice in 41 games in 2010 (June 25/July 2; July 31/Aug 7) ...

Due to injuries, cards, suspensions and national-team duty a year ago, RSL boss Jason Kreis fielded his “first-choice” starting XI for only 59 minutes last season - back on May 5, a 2-1 home win over New England, a victory marred by the Will Johnson red card in the 59’ ...

That occasion - the first of the year and only time in 34 MLS games in 2012, besides the July 31 CCL match at Herediano - came on nearly the one-year anniversary of the last regular-season occurance, May 7, 2011, when RSL saw Javier Morales chopped down from behind and lost until late Sept. with a horrifically broken ankle ...

ALL-TIME RSL OPEN CUP HISTORY: With the Aug. 7 Open Cup Semifinal 2-1 home win over Portland, RSL is now 8-8-1 (PK win = draw) all-time in Open Cup-related play,, scoring 34 goals and conceding 32 … Against lower-division teams, RSL is 5-2-0 in Open Cup action after the Charleston win, 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 and the Wilmington Hammerheads 2-0 in 2011, prior to last year’s 1-3 loss to the Minnesota Stars FC … Each of the 2005, 2006 and 2013 games against USL/NASL clubs went 120 minutes after being tied in regulation …

2013 marks the third occasion - joining 2006 and 2011 - that RSL has advanced to the Quarterfinal Stage or later of the tournament, with the June 26 win over Carolina marking the first time in 100 years that a Utah side has progressed to the Semifinal stage ... In prior iterations, RSL was eliminated by MLS Western Conference rivals Colorado Rapids (2006, 0-2 at Rice-Eccles Stadium) and FC Dallas (2011, 0-2 at Pizza Hut Park) ...

THE COIN IS THE STAR: The Oct. 1 US Open Cup Final will mark RSL’s 5th consecutive home match in this tourney, the club earning the right to host by a series of fortuitous coin flips at US Soccer HQ ... Prior to the Semifinal win over Portland, RSL had defeated a series of visiting minor-league elite en route to the semi v PDX, defeating Atlanta (3-2 aet), Charleston (5-2 aet) and Carolina (3-0 in regulation) ...

GOALKEEPER

DEFENDER

HEIGHT: 6-3 WEIGHT: 170 DOB: 12/16/92HOMETOWN: El Paso, TXACQUIRED: Signed as Home Grown Player, 1/11/12LAST CLUB: C.A. Penarol (Uruguay)PRONOUNCIATION: LAW-loLAST GAME: yet to appear in an RSL league match

HEIGHT: 6-3 WEIGHT: 197 DOB: HOMETOWN: Chino Hills, CA ACQUIRED: June 2012PRONOUNCIATION: SEAR - uh - bow

Real Salt Lake’s eye towards the future was bolstered a year ago with the signing of promising goalkeeper Lalo Fernandez as the club’s third-ever Homegrown Player. The addition of Fernandez marks the second dip into the Homegrown Player well by Real Salt Lake in less than a year, following on the heels of fellow RSL-Arizona Academy product Nico Muñiz (Sept. 2011) and Donny Toia (May 2011).

The 20-year-old Fernandez has kept busy over the last year-and-a-half, helping the RSL-Arizona Under-18 squad begin its first season in U.S. Soccer Development Academy in October 2010 and going 5-3-3 (1.00 GAA, 4 shutouts) in 11 appearances through the spring of 2011. After initially agreeing to play collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, Fernandez tacked course and tested the international waters, first spending a training stint with Mexican first division side Atlas – based in his birthplace of Guadalajara – before signing with Uruguayan power C.A. Peñarol last August.

The 6-foot-3, 165-pound Fernandez has been involved in the Youth National Team set-ups of both the United States and Mexico, playing for the Mexican Under-17s and training with the U.S. Under-20s last November. The El Paso, Texas, native’s goalkeeping skills run in the family, as his father, enjoyed a career as a professional netminder in Mexico.

After spending the better part of three years languishing on the bench in Chicago, Watson-Siriboe received a much-needed career reboot in June 2012 when RSL ac-quired him via trade with the Fire. RSL assistant coach C.J. Brown was the driv-ing force behind the acquisition, having seen firsthand Watson-Siriboe’s physi-cal talent and strong work ethic when the two played together in Chicago in 2010.

Acquiring Watson-Siriboe paid off handsomely for RSL in 2012, as the UConn prod-uct played well in 12 league games and started 10 in fill-in duty for injured center backs. Watson-Siriboe – who played in more games and tallied more minutes in one half-sea-son with RSL than he did in 2 ½ years in Chicago – was expected to get many more op-portunities to shine in 2013, beginning the season as a starter with regular center back Nat Borchers out until mid-April while recovering from offseason surgery on his left quad.

Unfortunately for Kwame, a mid-June reserve match on the road in Phoenix saw him suffer a torn ACL and force him out for the remainder of the 2013 season ...

HEIGHT: 5-8 WEIGHT: 150 DOB: 10/11/87HOMETOWN: Claremont, CA ACQUIRED: 2008 MLS SuperDraft (1st round pick)PRONOUNCIATION: BELL - trann

HEIGHT: 6-1 WEIGHT: 195 DOB: 9/19/90HOMETOWN: Dorchester, MA ACQUIRED: December, 2012PRONOUNCIATION:

After playing the second-most minutes of his career in 2011, Tony Beltran again showed why he belongs in the discussion with the best outside backs in Major League Soccer. For the second time in his career the 24-year-old made more than 20 starts and helped solidify a back line that was depleted by injuries all season long – until he unfortunately suffered one of his own, limiting his minutes in the final two months of the season.

While his staunch 1-v-1 defending continued to be rock solid, the cerebral and supremely fit Beltran has also provided more consistency when jumping into the attack, his flying runs up either flank ending with dangerous service into the area more often than during his previous two seasons of play. It can’t be long until Beltran sheds the status of one of the most underrated outside defenders in Major League Soccer, but, until then, the RSL braintrust will be more than happy to unleash the mature-beyond-his-years winger upon opponents that may underestimate the UCLA product’s considerable talent and tenacity.

December 2012 saw Beltran re-up with RSL for four more years, while January saw the young DF rewarded with an invite to “Camp Klinsmann” and his first-ever US cap, starting and playing 45 minutes against Canada in a 0-0 draw. Beltran followed that up with a Gold Cup invitation, starting and playing 90 minutes in front of a home crowd in the 4-1 win over Cuba at the RioT. Beltran then earned his 1st-ever MLS All-Star selection 48 hours later.

It’s not often that a first-round draft pick plays 15 league games in his rookie year and then gets traded in his first offseason, but that’s exactly what happened to defender Aaron Maund, who started nine MLS matches for Toronto last year before being traded to RSL for Justin Braun on Dec. 3.

Maund was a casualty of a season – and offseason – full of change in Toronto, getting shipped off shortly before his second head coach at TFC lost his job. He’ll undoubtedly have much more stability at Real Salt Lake, where he’ll learn from Head Coach Jason Kreis and Assistant/Defensive Specialist C.J. Brown as he competes for time at center back.

Maund struggled in his first Open Cup start against Atlanta, but has rebounded to offer an excellent MLS outing against his former Toronto mates back on June 29 at BMO FIeld - a 1-0 RSL win - and battled in his 2nd RSL start, a 1-2 home loss to Kansas City . Maund will compete with both Carlos Salcedo and Brandon McDonald for minutes next to Borchers throughout August, Sept. and October, while Chris Schuler could return in late August as well.

Most players begin to think about the next stage of their careers after 13 seasons in the pros, the portion involving final contracts, farewell tours and the like. However, most players aren’t like Kyle Beckerman, who continued to improve and reach new heights for both club and country in 2012. The Claret-and-Cobalt captain led the Utah side to all-time highs in points and wins while appearing in two World Cup Qualifiers, captaining the U.S. in its January 2013 friendly against Canada and playing the full 90 in the Stars-and-Stripes’ historic August 2012 1-0 win against Mexico at the famed Estadio Azteca.

The 30-year-old Beckerman has continued to excel in 2013, a year in which he made his 300th career MLS regular season appearance, earned his 7th consecutive MLS All-Star selection and has continue to play a vital #6 role for the USMNT in both World Cup Qualifying and the Gold Cup. Hungry as ever for hardware and a return to CONCACAF, Beckerman readily leads RSL night in / night out during his 14th season in MLS.

RSL long had its eye on Lovel Palmer, nearly trading for the Jamaican international while he was in Portland during the 2012 season. The Claret-and-Cobalt got its man in Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft on Dec. 14, 2012, agreeing to a deal with the 28-year-old defender/midfielder less than a week later.

A former Jamaican national team teammate of RSL Head Scout Andy Williams, Palmer has primarily played right back for the Claret-and-Cobalt, backing up starter Tony Beltran and providing added depth along the left side of the backline. The arrival of Palmer and midfielder Khari Stephenson this offseason give RSL its first Jamaican players since Williams retired following the 2011 season.

Palmer created the go-ahead goal back on May 11 at Montreal, his shot deflected home by Ferrari for an Own Goal to give RSL the lead. Palmer has also shown well in both MLS and Open Cup play during Beltran’s 2013 international duty and Chris Wingert’s early-season injuries that kept him out of the first 10 games.

Despite dealing with several injuries during the 2012 season, Borchers remained a rock for RSL, starting all 26 league matches that he appeared in and finishing the year sixth on the team in minutes played. Always a calming influence in the center of the Claret-and-Cobalt’s backline, the “White Rhino” brought unparalleled organization, tactical awareness and consistent play to the field last season as he helped RSL remain defensively strong.

Borchers’ stabilizing presence has been even more important in 2013 as RSL began life without center back Jamison Olave, who was traded to New York along with forward Fabian Espindola in December. Unfortunately, the Pueblo, Colo. native wasn’t able to guide the backline from the jump in 2013, as he dealt with a quad injury that caused him to miss the first six games.

Since then, however, Borchers has brought leadership and stabilization to a whirlwind of young centerbacks and outside backs that have seen time for RSL during the first half of the season, helping the club to one of the top two goals against averages in MLS.

Acquired in a trade with Toronto on Jan. 30, 2013, it looks like the 20-year-old Plata could become the latest discarded MLS player to have a re-birth at Real Salt Lake. Much like RSL defender Aaron Maund, the talented Plata was a victim of some turbulence at TFC, which sent him on a loan to Ecuadorian side LDU Quito halfway through 2012 before trading him to RSL this offseason.

The tiny Ecuadorian – Plata stands just 5-foot-2 and weighs in at 135 lbs. – showed very well for the Claret-and-Cobalt during preseason, giving defenders fits with his quickness, agility, skill and finishing. The Ecuadorian international is a significant addition to RSL’s revamped forward corps – look for him to provide a spark off the bench as a third forward and get an occasional spot start for lead forwards Robbie Findley and Alvaro Saborio.

Plata has grown into a role of constant contribution for RSL, either as a starter or off the bench. He has seen significant minutes alongside either Findley, Olmes Garcia or Devon Sandoval, while he and Saborio formed an instant friendship in the preseason that has carried over to the field, at least when Sabo is available.

HEIGHT: 5-0 WEIGHT: 175 DOB: 4/4/85HOMETOWN: Phoenix, AZ ACQUIRED: January, 2013PRONOUNCIATION:

Real Salt Lake brought Findley back for a second stint in Utah on Jan. 16, 2013, sending the Portland Timbers allocation money for the rights to the speedy striker, who had already signed with MLS at the time of the trade. Findley played for RSL from mid-2007 through 2010, when he left the Claret-and-Cobalt after the MLS season to join English Championship side Nottingham Forest. Portland selected the Arizona native in the expansion draft in November 2010, thereby acquiring his rights and forcing RSL to trade for them in order to bring him back to Salt Lake.

Findley scored 29 goals during his first stint with the Claret-and-Cobalt, leading the team and setting a career high with 12 goals in the 2009 MLS Cup Championship season. RSL is hoping that the 2010 World Cup veteran will be able to bring that type of production back to the Wasatch Front in the 2013 season, when he’ll lead RSL’s line alongside striker Alvaro Saborio.

Findley has 5 goals through the first half of the season with RSL, tied with two others for the team lead on a balanced side. Clearly a better soccer player than he was upon his departure, Findley has rarely displayed the blinding speed he was once known for, rather choosing guile and skill to demoralize opponents and create for teammates.

HEIGHT: 5-9 WEIGHT: 165 DOB: 1/10/80HOMETOWN: Buenos Aires, Argentina ACQUIRED: 8/07PRONOUNCIATION: HAW-vee-err

Perhaps no player in Major League Soccer was poised to have a better 2011 than Javier Morales. From the get-go, the Argentine midfield maestro was pulling the strings for a Real Salt Lake side on the cusp of international glory, his infectious attitude, quiet leadership and abundant skill helping a pioneering club earn plaudits from every corner of America’s soccer landscape. So while RSL’s disappointment at the end of its CONCACAF Champions League run in late April was a tough blow for the squad, it’s quite telling that the result’s effect on the team’s season paled in comparison to the loss of Morales to an ankle injury just 10 days after the stinging defeat.

It is also telling that, during a stretch of two weeks when clumsy challenges like the one Morales suffered from felled some of MLS’ other brightest attacking talents, RSL’s playmaker vowed to come back before season’s end. Anyone who saw the incident must have thought Morales’ thoughts were wishful thinking at best, but they also weren’t witness to the hard work he put in day after day. While the air was sucked out of the building that day, Morales knew it wasn’t sucked out of the season, and he wanted to make sure he could help the squad finish the challenge it had laid down at the start of the year – add hardware to the trophy case.

While that goal wouldn’t come to fruition, the comeback of Morales inspired not only his teammates, but the RSL faithful as well, who could not get enough updates on the status of “Javi” and when – not if – he would return to the field. While Morales was never back to 100% during the final six weeks of the season, he showed plenty enough to make it clear that he was closer than anyone, save himself, might have thought. But, perhaps more than anything, his comeback allowed everyone the opportunity to remember a different image of #11 at Rio Tinto Stadium in 2011 – the thunderous standing ovation he received upon entering the Sept. 28 match against Chicago in front of the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. 20,762 fans, all there to pay tribute to the heart-and-soul of RSL, to see the maestro pick up his baton once again.

The start of the 2012 campaign sees Morales continuing to overcome injury, an offseason procedure to clean out bone spurs in his left foot and a right quad strain suffered during the preseason limiting him during the squad’s preparations for the upcoming season. But if 2011 proved anything, it’s that Morales will be able to overcome any challenge thrown at him … and likely sooner than anyone could imagine.

HEIGHT: 5-10 WEIGHT: 180 DOB: 4/10/89HOMETOWN: St. Louis, MOACQUIRED: Dec., 2012 via Re-entry DraftPRONOUNCIATION:

After not getting much playing time with Columbus in his first two years as a pro, Grossman is ready for a new lease on life with Real Salt Lake, which picked up the Duke University product in the November 2013 MLS Waiver Draft.

The big, hard-working and aggressive midfielder will take some time to adjust from his old position in the center of the midfield to his new spot at the outside of RSL’s diamond, but he is expected to challenge for minutes once he gets settled in. The St. Louis native’s tenacious style is sure to play well with Claret-and-Cobalt fans, who never fail to appreciate a little on-field intensity.

Grossman suffered a concussion in a late March match at Dallas in which he started, knocking the promising MF out of action of any kind for nearly two months. His late-summer return to health has seen Grossman contribute to the reserve side and push for minutes with the first team.

Blessed with good size and incredible speed, 20-year-old Colombian forward Olmes Garcia comes to RSL as a relatively unknown quantity. A talented but raw prospect, Garcia did well at Colombian First Division side Deportes Quindio, scoring seven goals in 47 total appearances after signing with the team as an 18-year-old in January 2011.

He’ll need some time to adjust to a new country, a new team, a new language, a new culture and new tactics, but Garcia is a significant part of the Claret-and-Cobalt’s long term plan. He’ll have plenty of time to grow into a large role; he signed a five-year contract with RSL on a transfer from Quindio.

On April 1 against BYU in a reserve exhibition at Rio Tinto Stadium (att: 6,335), Garcia was the star of the show, displaying speed and one-on-one ability to wow the fans. Will need to harness that raw talent and effectively utilize his skills in the framework of the team philosophy, but his MLS debut at DAL on 3/23 saw his header off a corner kick smack the left post on his first touch in the North American league.

HEIGHT: 5-10 WEIGHT: 165 DOB: 5/24/85HOMETOWN: Cienfuegos, Cuba ACQUIRED: Sept. 2011PRONOUNCIATION: jor-DONN-ee

When it came to taking advantage of an opportunity in 2011, nobody did it better than midfielder Yordany Alvarez, who parlayed his USL PRO League MVP performance for Orlando City S.C. into a quasi-starting gig that September shortly after joining Real Salt Lake on loan at the roster freeze deadline. The one-time Cuban international provided quality cover for Kyle Beckerman, whose suspensions and U.S. MNT call-ups across the last quarter of the season forced Alvarez onto the field for five contests.

Alvarez performed well in a limited role during the 2012 season, providing able cover at defensive mid when Claret-and-Cobalt captain Beckerman was out of the lineup. The 27-year-old Cuban made 15 league appearances in 2012, starting five times and playing a total of 500 MLS minutes.

Alvarez’s role has increased in 2013, when the 2011 USL Pro League MVP has had an opportunity to play on the outside of RSL’s midfield diamond and will slot in for Beckerman when he’s away on international duty. His game-winning goal on June 29 at Toronto was MLS’ Goal of the Week, and the Cuban emigre has thrived throughout Kreis’ tactical departures from the 4-4-2 diamond.

15 ALVARO SABORIO FORWARD

HEIGHT: 6-0 WEIGHT: 170 DOB: 3/25/82HOMETOWN: San Carlos, Costa Rica ACQUIRED: March 2010PRONOUNCIATION: AL-vuh-ro sabb-oh-REE-oh

As a forward there’s always pressure to perform, and in 2011 the pressure seemed to be both a blessing and a curse for Álvaro Saborío, who began the year with a new contract that heaped on the added weight of becoming Real Salt Lake’s first-ever “Designated Player” (though the title was more a technicality thanks to the transfer fees involved in obtaining his full rights). The roller-coaster season saw Saborío bag goals in bunches and in some critical moments, but also included some droughts and mountains of adversity on the national team front for his native Costa Rica.

A part of that ebb - Saborio had the best season of his three-year RSL career in 2012, lighting up the league to the tune of 17 goals, five multi-goal games and three assists in 31 appearances. Super “Sabo” led RSL in scoring, was third in the league in goals behind Chris Wondolowski and Kenny Cooper and – most notably – set the new Claret-and-Cobalt record for goals in a year, breaking the mark of 16 set by Jeff Cunningham in 2006.

Whether or not Sabo can do it all again in 2013 remains to be seen, but things seem to be working in his favor. The Costa Rican international enters the MLS regular season on a tear for his country and is surrounded by a greatly improved forward corps featuring Robbie Findley, Joao Plata, Olmes Garcia an Devon Sandoval. Those four newcomers should help take some of the defensive attention off of Saborio, opening up space – and hopefully creating more chances – for the skilled striker.

17 CHRIS WINGERT DEFENDER

HEIGHT: 5-11 WEIGHT: 170 DOB: 6/16/82HOMETOWN: Babylon, NYACQUIRED: Trade with COL, 6/14/07

The outside back position in RSL’s 4-4-2 system is perhaps one of the most challenging spots in Major League Soccer – to call them “defenders” is simply not doing them justice. The role requires players to have the physicality to defend one-on-one, the speed and stamina to make run after run up and down the flank to provide width in attack and the technical acumen to make things happen with the ball, be it by providing crosses into the area or quick combinations with the midfield. You have to be smart, disciplined and in ridiculously good shape … in other words, you almost have to be Chris Wingert.

RSL’s longest-tenured field player, Chris Wingert had one of the best seasons of his 10-year MLS career in 2012, setting career highs and finishing second amongst RSL field players with 31 league games played, 30 league games started and 2,603 minutes played. The always steady Babylon, N.Y. native was consistent as ever last season, playing rock solid defense along the left side and getting forward to help out in the attack well, registering two assists on the season.

Wingert will be hard-pressed to replicate those numbers in 2013, with the 30-year-oldleft back scheduled to miss the first six weeks of the season due to a broken right metatarsal suffered during offseason training. Expect him to be his usual self – smart, disciplined and in ridiculously good shape – when he returns.

After spending the second half of 2012 training with the Claret-and-Cobalt while not officially a member of the first-team, RSL-Arizona Academy product Carlos Salcedo will finally get his chance to step on the field in a MLS match this year.

The 19-year-old center back still has a long way to go, but has the physical tools necessary to be successful on the professional level. Expected to log plenty of time in the expanded 2013 Reserve League as he continues to hone his technique and develop tactically, the young man stepped up big in early May at NE, starting the 2-1 win and earning Kreis’ praise for his ability to fight for every ball and be physicall as needed.

RSL’s longest-tenured player, Nick Rimando showed in 2012 why he’s considered one of the best goalkeepers in the league, turning in another stellar year in between the pipes for the Claret-and-Cobalt. The 33-year-old ‘keeper once again finished at or near the top of Major League Soccer in goals against average, wins and shutouts last season, finishing fourth in 2012 Allstate MLS Goalkeeper of the Year voting.

The Claret-and-Cobalt will expect more of the same in 2013 from Rimando, who is more motivated than ever to keep performing well as he looks to lead RSL to league glory while cementing his role for the U.S. Men’s National Team.

Some things are just meant to be, and that seemed to be the general consensus when highly-touted midfielder Enzo Martinez fell right into the lap of Real Salt Lake late in the first round of January’s MLS SuperDraft in Kansas City. Why the key cog for North Carolina’s College Cup-winning side slid to the 17th overall pick will never be known, but what is for certain is that the motivated midfielder’s savvy on the ball, mature decision-making and industrious workrate will make the native Uruguayan a perfect fit in the diamond midfield RSL has perfected under Jason Kreis. While the RSL Technical Staff gushed about the Generation adidas product’s production and ability, it was even more impressed with his maturity off the field, forcing many of the pundits who questioned where the 21-year-old might fit on the field for many teams to also admit that the Claret-and-Cobalt might just have come away with the steal of draft day.

HEIGHT: 5-10 WEIGHT: 155 DOB: 11/14/93HOMETOWN: Garden Grove, CA ACQUIRED: Trade with KC, 3/10PRONOUNCIATION: GILL

Capable of playing any of the four spots in RSL’s midfield diamond, the versatile Grabavoy recorded the most games played, games started, minutes played and assists of his RSL career in 2012. Primarily deployed on the outside of the midfield, the incredibly technical Grabavoy became one of the Claret-and-Cobalt’s more important players last season, playing well on the field and helping to set the tone in the locker room.

Entering the second year of a three-year contract signed before the 2012 season, Grabavoy will be counted on to play a major role again in 2013. The 28-year-old New Lenox, Ill. native looked better than ever in the 2013 preseason, exhibiting tactical awareness and on-the-ball calmness while excelling in nearly every preseason game he featured in.

Gil continued to develop in 2012, building on his solid 2011 by setting career highs in games played, games started, minutes played and assists last season. Playing at both the top and side of Real Salt Lake’s midfield diamond, the 19-year-old was more consistent than ever last year, turning in an increased amount of even performances as RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis began to rely on him more and more.

Gil will have an even larger role in 2013, with the club’s December trade of midfielder Will Johnson to Portland opening up a more permanent spot in the first XI for the California native. Gil will have to balance his RSL duties with a busy schedule with the U.S. U-20 national team, which will play in the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey in June and July.Thankfully, Gil seems up to the challenge, saying early this preseason that he wants to “step up and prove something” in 2013.


22 23DAVID VIANA KHARI STEPHENSONMIDFIELDER MIDFIELDER

HEIGHT: 5-8 WEIGHT: 160 DOB: 1/22/92HOMETOWN: Strausborg, FranceACQUIRED: via discovery option in August., 2012PRONOUNCIATION: vee - AH - nuh

HEIGHT: 6-2 WEIGHT: 185 DOB: 1/18/91HOMETOWN: Kingston, JamaicaACQUIRED: via discovery in Feb., 2013PRONOUNCIATION:

The 20-year-old Portuguese-French MF was added to the RSL roster last Sept. 15, primarily an attacking MF who can also play on either the left or right of Kreis’ midfield diamond, Viana began a successful trial period with RSL nearly 6 weeks earlier ...

“We’re excited to add a talented young player like David to the team,” said Lagerwey. “We believe he’ll be a valuable addition to our roster long-term and think he can give us an attacking boost down the stretch.” Viana comes to RSL after spending nearly a year with Atletico Madrid C, the La Liga club’s second reserve team ... The 5-foot-8 player impressed while in the Spanish capital, regularly getting called up to train with the first team and earning a contract offer to return to the Europa League champions earlier this summer ... The former Portuguese U-17, U-18 and U-19 national teamer was a part of French club RC Strasbourg’s youth setup before transferring to Atletico after Strasbourg was relegated from Ligue 1 following 2010-2011 ...

An experienced midfielder at both the MLS and international levels, Stephenson will add some veteran depth to a Real Salt Lake midfield stocked with younger reserves. The former San Jose Earthquake is very versatile, capable of playing on the outside or on top of RSL’s midfield diamond as well as at forward. The 6-foot-4 Stephenson isn’t afraid to let it fly, often shooting from distance – and occasionally scoring the fantastic goal – during his 2 ½ seasons in San Jose.

Expect Stephenson – who, along with RSL defender Lovel Palmer, played with RSL Head Scout Andy Williams on the Jamaican National Team – to get solid minutes off the bench as well as the occasional spot start for Claret-and-Cobalt Head Coach Jason Kreis in 2013.

24 25JEFF ATTINELLA RICH BALCHANGOALKEEPER DEFENDER

HEIGHT: 6-2 WEIGHT: 190 DOB: 9/29/88HOMETOWN: Clearwater, FLACQUIRED: December, 2012

HEIGHT: 6-0 WEIGHT: 165 DOB: 1/18/89HOMETOWN: Carmel, INACQUIRED: March 1, 2013

Drafted by Real Salt Lake in the first round (14th overall) of the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft but not signed to a contract, Attinella returned to the Claret-and-Cobalt when he signed with the team in December 2012.

The Clearwater, Fla. native is far more experienced than most goalkeepers his age, having made 52 total appearances for the NASL Tampa Bay Rowdies in 2011 and 2012. Attinella had a huge 2012, leading the Rowdies to the NASL title, finishing second in NASL MVP voting and earning a spot on the league Best XI.

Attinella will likely be RSL’s third-string goalkeeper behind starter Nick Rimando and probable backup Josh Saunders in 2013.


26 SEBASTIAN VELASQUEZ MIDFIELDER

HEIGHT: 5-7 WEIGHT: 140 DOB: 2/11/91HOMETOWN: Greenville, SCACQUIRED: 2012 MLS SuperDraft

If you were not aware of Sebastian Velasquez when Real Salt Lake selected him towards the end of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, well, you weren’t alone … the plucky playmaker was the first Junior College player to be selected on draft day since Kansas City took another member of the RSL family, Yura Movsisyan, six years earlier. The Wasatch Front is a long way from Spartanburg Methodist College in South Carolina, but when word from collegiate scouting contacts about the “diamond-in-the-Upstate” came across RSL’s attention, due diligence by assistant coach Miles Joseph paid off for the now-21-year-old midfielder via an invite to the club’s December combine in Arizona. Velasquez impressed enough there to earn the nod to the next level, where he will be allowed plenty of time to learn how pull the strings on the top of RSL’s midfield diamond behind Javier Morales and Luis Gil.

27 JOHN STERTZER MIDFIELDER

HEIGHT: 6-1 WEIGHT: 170 DOB: 10/4/90HOMETOWN: Oaktown, VAACQUIRED: 2013 MLS SuperDraft

Dubbed by some as the “most pro-ready player” in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Stertzer put his polish on display in the 2013 preseason, earning some rare (for a rookie) public praise from RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis at the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup. A big, box-to-box midfielder capable of playing on the outside or at the top of RSL’s midfield diamond, it will be interesting to see just how much the 12th overall pick from January’s MLS SuperDraft contributes during his rookie year. Expect him to challenge for minutes at outside midfield throughout the season.

28 CHRIS SCHULER DEFENDER

HEIGHT: 6-4 WEIGHT: 185 DOB: 9/6/87HOMETOWN: Aurora, IL ACQUIRED: 2010 MLS SuperDraft (37th)PRONOUNCIATION: SHOO-ler

After taking a huge leap forward in 2011, when he made 20 league appearances and 16 MLS starts, Schuler took a step back in 2012, playing in just 13 games in an injury-riddled campaign. The Chicagoland native showed well at the beginning of the season, starting RSL’s first three matches and seven of its first 12 to help the team to a fantastic 7-3-2 record. Unfortunately, the Claret-and-Cobalt’s 13th match proved unlucky for Schuler, who suffered a bone stress response in his left foot in that game, a 1-0 win at Seattle on May 12. It’d be over three months until Schuler made his return to the first-team in RSL’s tough 0-1 loss at Houston on Sept. 6.

RSL can’t afford another injury to Schuler in 2013, as the Utah side will be counting on the 6-foot-4 defender to be a game-in, game-out starter at center back following the offseason trade of defender Jamison Olave to New York. Whether he’s paired with Nat Borchers or third-center back Kwame Watson-Siriboe, Schuler is expected to show well in 2013, with Head Coach Jason Kreis expecting the fourth-year defender to breakout and earn the attention of U.S. Men’s National Team Manager Jurgen Klinsmann.

29 ABDOULIE MANSALLY DEFENDER

HEIGHT: 5-10 WEIGHT: 170 DOB: 1/27/89HOMETOWN: Banjul, The GambiaACQUIRED: via Discovery, 6/20/12PRONOUNCIATION: ab - do - LYE

RSL pounced on Mansally after he was released by New England in May 2012, bringing in the Gambian international for a trial starting on May 30 and signing him to a full contract three weeks later. The 24-year-old did well in his first season with the Claret-and-Cobalt, appearing in five league games and starting a playoff match after moving from forward – where he played in New England – to left back.

The blazing fast defender will need to carry over his solid play into 2013, as he’ll begin the year in the starting lineup with regular left back Chris Wingert out until mid-April with a broken metatarsal.

Known as “Kenny” throughout his MLS career, has recently requested to be called by his given name, Abdoulie.


45 JOSH SAUNDERS GOALKEEPER

HEIGHT: 6-4 WEIGHT: 210 DOB: 3/2/81HOMETOWN: Grants Pass, ORACQUIRED: February, 2013 via DiscoveryPRONOUNCIATION:

49 DEVON SANDOVAL FORWARD

HEIGHT: 6-1 WEIGHT: 190 DOB: 6/16/91HOMETOWN: Albuquerque, NMACQUIRED: 2013 MLS SuperDraft, 29th overall (2nd Rd)PRONOUNCIATION:

RSL coaches really liked what they saw out of Sandoval when he trained with the Claret-and-Cobalt for a week last summer, going as far as to trade up two spots in January’s MLS SuperDraft to nab the University of New Mexico product with the team’s second round pick (29th overall). Sandoval has repaid the club’s faith this preseason, playing well enough to earn himself a full contract with the team.

The Albuquerque native brings a different element to Real Salt Lake’s five-man forward corps, playing the pure hold-up role that was missing at times in years past. Expect him to get some MLS time during his rookie season when Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis wants to run a true bruiser at opposing defenses.

HC ACJASON KREIS JEFF CASSARHEAD COACH ASST. COACH

ALL-TIME RECORD: 87-68-53 (MLS); 105-84-64 (all comps)COLLEGE: Duke ‘94HOMETOWN: Omaha, NE APPOINTED: May 3, 2007PRONOUNCIATION: KRYSE

Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis traded in his record-setting boots and captain’s armband on May 3, 2007 to become the organization’s second head coach, overhauling a previously moribund locker room to become just two seasons later the youngest Cup-winning coach in MLS history, guiding RSL to the title in 2009. Under his watch, RSL has also advanced to three of the last four Conference Finals, become the first American side to win a CONCACAF Champions League group and the first U.S. team to advance to the CCL Finals. With back-to-back-to-back 15-win MLS seasons in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Kreis’ teams have earned points in two out of every three matches they play, as the intense, demanding leader now owns an all-time 105-84-64 mark as a head coach, breaking down as follows: MLS regular-season (87-68-53), CONCACAF Champions League (8-4-4), MLS Cup Playoff (4-5-5), Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (6-5-1) and international friendlies (3-2-1).

At the time of his hire, Mr. Kreis became the youngest active head coach in MLS at 34 years and 127 days of age. Kreis works closely with former Blue Devil and Dallas Burn teammate and current RSL General Manager Garth Lagerwey regarding player acquisitions, scouting, the MLS Draft and all player personnel-related matters. The Kreis-Lagerwey partnership has resulted in the implementation of a culture where players, staff and fans work as one for the RSL shield, epitomizing a “Team is the Star” attitude. Kreis, Lagerwey and the team’s coaching staff – Jeff Cassar, Miles Joseph and C.J. Brown – compose the lone technical staff among MLS’ 18 teams comprised entirely of ex-MLS players. This distinction means that the RSL braintrust now boasts cumulative MLS experience of 74,811 total minutes, covering 923 games and including 128 goals and 22 shutouts (the equivalent of nearly 30 complete seasons of service). The RSL staff has the unparalleled ability to tap into personal experience as it guides, assists and develops RSL players.

Real Salt Lake gladly pounced on 2011 and 2012 MLS Cup winning goalkeeper Josh Saunders when he became available this offseason, bringing the veteran ‘keeper in for an extended trial before agreeing to a deal on Feb. 22, 2013.

The former L.A. goalie should prove to be an incredibly valuable pickup, providing solid competition for RSL starting goalkeeper Nick Rimando and filling in for him should he receive probable call ins to the U.S. National Team for World Cup Qualifiers and/or this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup. His addition instantly gives RSL one of the top goalkeeping corps in the league and he’ll be a solid mentor for young Claret-and-Cobalt ‘keepers Jeff Attinella and Lalo Fernandez.

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTEROne of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Caleb Porter was named the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joins the club following seven seasons as the head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He finished his time at Akron with a career mark of 123-18-17 and owned the highest winning percentage (0.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter has helped lead the Timbers to a positive result in 21 of the team’s 25 matches in the 2013 MLS season, setting a club-record, 15-game unbeaten stretch from March 16-June 23. Porter has been named the MLSsoccer.com Coach of the Week twice this year (Week 6, Week 9) and set the MLS record for a first-year head coach with 15 straight undefeated games.

Porter built Akron men’s soccer into a perennial national championship contender, leading the Zips to five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12), back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships and five MAC Tourna-ment titles. Porter set multiple NCAA records at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12.

From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2009. He was a three-time NSCAA All-Ohio Coach of the Year (2008-09, 2011) and received MAC Coach of the Year honors six straight years from 2007-12. Porter became the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 career wins, accomplishing the feat in just 126 matches. He is also among the fastest all-time in NCAA history to the century mark, reaching the milestone in fewer games than collegiate Hall of Fame and current MLS coaches Bruce Arena (140; Virginia) and Sigi Schmid (136; UCLA). While at Akron, Porter recruited and developed more than a dozen Zips players who have gone on to professional careers, many plying their trade in Major League Soccer. He had an MLS-record five former players selected in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft and seven selected overall that year. Under Porter’s guidance, Portland’s Darlington Nagbe and former Akron standout Teal Bunbury were recipients of the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top col-legiate player.

Porter also served as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana Univer-sity, helping the school make six NCAA tournament appearances, win back-to-back national champion-ships in 2003 and 2004 and claim five Big Ten Conference titles.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games.

He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain, a three-time All-Big Ten honoree and a four-year letter winner. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, four NCAA tournament appearances – twice advancing to the College Cup. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella Jane.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT REAL SALT LAKEFRIDAY, AUG. 30, 2013

MATCH DAY PREVIEWFriday’s match will mark Portland’s third game in 10 days and the second time the club has squared off against league-leading Real Salt Lake inside that same 10-day span. The Timbers are coming off a hard-fought, 1-0 loss at Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday. Before that clash, head coach Caleb Porter’s squad faced off against Real Salt Lake at JELD-WEN Field and earned a 3-3 draw, coming back from a goal down to take a 3-2 lead late in the match. Real Salt Lake recorded the equalizer in the third minute of second-half stoppage time on a strike from substitute Cole Grossman.

Real Salt Lake comes into Friday’s game following a 4-0 win over the Columbus Crew on Saturday. Midfielder Kyle Beckerman, who missed the match against Portland, recorded a brace while Devon Sandoval and Luis Gil added goals for Real Salt Lake. Head coach Jason Kreis’s squad is currently five points clear of the second-place LA Galaxy at the top of the Western Conference standings.

ALL-TIME SERIES NOTESThe Timbers and Real Salt Lake have met six times in the MLS series dating back to the 2011 season. Portland has earned a 1-3-2 overall record against the 2009 MLS Cup champions in the MLS series, along with a 0-1-0 mark in U.S. Open Cup play.

At home, Portland is 1-1-1, earning a win over Real Salt Lake on April 30, 2011, in the first match between the two teams. As part of the Timbers season-open-ing, five-game home winning streak in 2011, forward Kenny Cooper netted the game-winning goal in the 22nd minute off assists from Kalif Alhassan and Jack Jewsbury. Portland’s defense held Real Salt Lake to just three shots on goal in winning their third straight game at home to kick off the 2011 MLS campaign.

The Timbers are winless in four straight league games against Real Salt Lake, although two of those three losses have come by just one goal. Most recently in MLS play, Portland conceded the game-tying goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time for a 3-3 draw at JELD-WEN Field on Aug. 21.

Portland also faced the Real Salt Lake this year on Aug. 7 in the semifinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. After conceding two goals, Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri pulled one back with a header in the 90th minute, but time ran out on the comeback attempt as Real Salt Lake earned a 2-1 win and advanced to the U.S. Open Cup final. The two clubs meet for the second time in regular-season play on Friday at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah.

LAST TIME VS. REAL SALT LAKEMidfielder Diego Valeri recorded an assist and scored a goal, and forward Rodney Wallace and midfielder Kalif Alhassan each scored as the Timbers played Real Salt Lake to a 3-3 draw before a sellout crowd of 20,674 at JELD-WEN Field on Aug. 21. The Timbers extended their home unbeaten streak to 10 matches. Wallace staked the Timbers to a lead in the 24th minute, but Real Salt Lake scored twice six minutes apart, including the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick by midfielder Javier Morales, to take a 2-1 lead into halftime. Valeri converted a penalty kick in the second half to pull the Timbers level, 2-2, in the 57th minute. Following a red card issued to Real Salt Lake’s Yordany Alvarez, Portland re-gained the lead four minutes from time as midfielder Kalif Alhassan struck from inside the area. Real Salt Lake found the late equalizer late with just 10 players as substitute Cole Grossman tallied his first goal of the season three minutes into second-half stoppage time.

TIMBERS EDGED 1-0 AT RIVAL SEATTLEA second-half goal by forward Eddie Johnson was the difference as Seattle Sounders FC edged the Timbers 1-0 in a hard-fought Cascadia Cup match before a crowd of 67,385 fans at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 25. The Timbers had the better the chances in the first half, but Sounders FC took the lead when Johnson headed in a free kick in the 60th minute. In search of an equalizer, Portland forced Sounders FC Goalkeeper Michael Gspurning to make four saves in the second half to preserve the win. The loss is just the fourth of the season for the Timbers – the fewest in MLS – and is only the club’s second defeat to a Western Conference opponent during the regular season.
