Real Salt Lake vs. Toronto FC - Recap

Wow, what a game. This game is another reason people should be fans of soccer. The first half was exciting, but no goals were scored. Then the second half was amazing. In the 63rd minute, Chris Wingert played a free kick right into the box. Olave lost his marker and headed the ball right into the back of the net. It was awesome. There was a huge smile on his face after he scored. Then Olave fouled a TFC player right outside of the box for a free kick in the 84th minute. The TFC player kicked it right over the wall into the top corner. It was a nice shot. All the fans went quiet because a draw was looming. As soon as play resumed, RSL put everything they had into getting another goal, and they did. Beckerman received a nice through ball and shot a rocket at Sutton. Sutton knocked it out of the 18 yard box, right to Findley who juked a defender and nailed it right back into Suttons arms, but it was too hard and it went right past Sutton into the net. The crowd went wild. It was such a great game and a true turning point for RSL. For the first time in history they have a winning record (7-6-6). This win was crucial because we now have an 18 day rest which will allow the other teams in the West to creep up the table and get more points. One other note: My wife became a true fan of RSL last night. How you ask? She lost her voice from yelling so hard AND she listened to the post game show when she didn't have to. AWESOME!
