RSL vs. Sounders: Highlights, stats and quotes
A disallowed goal on one end and an own-goal on the other about two minutes apart aptly told the story of the afternoon, as the Seattle Sounders fell to Real Salt Lake 2-0 on Saturday. The Sounders have only won one regular-season game in Utah, in 2011, and have now gone 0-11-3 since then.
