It’s the second meeting of the year for the MLS Cup 2013 foes – now in the same conference – as Real Salt Lake play host to Sporting Kansas City at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday evening. The teams are going in opposite directions: Real with two wins in their last 11 matches, following their scoreless draw with Colorado in their last league game, while Sporting are unbeaten in their last seven, coming off a 1-0 win vs. Seattle Sounders FC in their last MLS game. The teams played to a scoreless draw April 11, their second consecutive goalless result in league meetings.
- The teams are meeting for the second time this season. They played a scoreless draw April 11 at Sporting Park.
- The teams have played to scoreless results in their last two league meetings, both played in Kansas City. Real last won in the series in 2011, a 1-0 win Sept. 17 at Rio Tinto Stadium. SKC has won two of the four meetings since, with two draws.
- Real have never won at Sporting Park, in five meetings lifetime, including MLS Cup 2013. RSL last won in Kansas City in 2009 (at CommunityAmerica Ballpark). Sporting won on their last trip to Utah, in 2013.
- Real Salt Lake had their winless streak extended to three games with their second shutout in that time last time out, a scoreless draw with the Colorado Rapids on June 6 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
- Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated streak to seven games with a second consecutive victory last time out, Benny Feilhaber scoring the game’s only goal with a late penalty kick in a 1-0 win vs. Seattle Sounders FC on June 6 at Sporting Park, SKC’s third consecutive defensive shutout.
