United outshot Real 16-13 and had 11 shots on goal while Real had just four.

"How many shots did they have? Sixteen? That is too many for sure," Kreis said. "There were quite a few guys that didn't have a good night for us. Maybe just a few of them can have an off night" and Real can win.

Real is now 6-34-10 all-time on the road.

Despite the performance by Moreno, Kreis did not seem impressed.

"Two penalty kicks. Congratulations. What else did he do?" Kreis said.

Reminded by a reporter Moreno (115 career goals) had assists on the other United goals, Kreis said he doubted Moreno would consider Saturday one of his all-time best games.

"It's a struggle. Those two penalties definitely altered the momentum of the game," Talley said.
