Espindola goal ends Real Salt Lake's 3-game road skid
CARSON, Calif.(AP) -- Fabian Espindola scored a late goal to give
Real Salt Lake a 2-1 win over Chivas USA at Home Depot Center on
Saturday night.
The win snapped Real Salt Lake's three-game road losing streak
and gave the defending MLS Cup champions their first road win
since a season-opening victory at San Jose on March 27.
Chris Wingert scored in first-half stoppage time to give Real
Salt Lake (5-3-1) a lead going into the intermission, but Chivas
(3-6-1) tied the match in the 81st minute when Justin Braun
scored from 18 yards out.
Real Salt Lake won despite losing Kyle Beckerman in the 25th
minute with a sprained left foot.
Each side was missing players due to the U.S. national team's
World Cup training camp. Chivas was without captain Sacha
Kljestan and defender Jonathan Bornstein, while Real Salt Lake
played without Robbie Findley.
