Espindola scores as Real Salt Lake beats Red Bulls
SANDY, Utah (AP) -- Fabian Espindola scored in the 4th minute and Real Salt
Lake held off the New York Red Bulls 1-0 Saturday night, stretching their home
unbeaten streak to a Major League Soccer record-tying 22.
The defending MLS Cup champions improved to tied the record set by the Columbus
Crew last year. Real Salt Lake (12-4-7) moved one point behind league-leaders
Los Angeles and Columbus.
The Red Bulls (11-7-5) lost for just the second time in their last seven games.
Espindola stole the show early by taking a pass from Kyle Beckerman and poking
it past charging Red Bulls goalkeeper Greg Sutton for his sixth goal of the
season.
Sutton was making just his second start of the season in place of regular
goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul, who was among four Red Bulls starters - including
marquee midfielder Rafael Marquez - who missed the game while playing for their
national teams.
Salt Lake also had two starters away on international duty.
