Real Salt Lake: Real-ly above .500 after Monday night win

When Findley hit the post in the 27th minute, there was a sinking sense at Rice-Eccles Stadium that RSL's goal-scoring woes were going to continue. After all, the team has had three scoreless draws at home already this year.

It took a defender to finally find the back of the net for RSL. In the 63rd minute Jamison Olave towered to head home a Chris Wingert delivery from the right sideline. Olave was still up top following a corner kick and after narrowly beating Toronto's offsides trap he had acres of space and time to pick out his spot and bury his first MLS goal.

Riding a streak of three straight shutouts, RSL seemed destined to make it four as the clock ticked closer to 90. Guevara spoiled those hopes, however, with a scintillating 28-yard bending free kick into the net's upper reaches.

It only took three minutes for Salt Lake to regain the lead, as Kreis joked that previous teams might've surrendered a second goal and lost.

RSL outshot Toronto 20-13 to improve to 6-0-5 at home.
