Real Salt Lake gets a 'feel-good result' 0-0 draw vs. FC Dallas

"It's difficult," Kreis said. "Some of that's because Javier is a special player. Another part of it is that at a different point in the season, we're maybe a little more confident. I think everybody would tell you we're not at our best right now. We're all just not quite at our best. We need to push things along, move forward and have confidence that we're going to be at our best."

With Sunday's result, Salt Lake has a three-match unbeaten streak and is 2-1-1 on the road.

"We've always been jinxed here for some reason," Rimando said. "To get a result, it's not like winning but it's something that we've got to feel good about going into the next week."

RSL returns home to face Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium..
