RSL aims to start new streak vs. Chivas USA

Soccer Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake will aim to start a new streak when it hosts Chivas USA in a Major League Soccer tilt on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.

RSL (9-4-3) is coming off a 2-0 loss at Dallas that snapped a 10-game unbeaten run in league play.

"We move forward," RSL coach Jason Kreis said after the game. "We need to forget that game as quickly as possible. The biggest concern is how the players will view it and whether or not they can move on quickly. We haven't lost a game in a long time, so it feels brand new."

The goals scored against RSL were the first scored against it in the last eight matches, and first multiple goals allowed since mid-April.

"I think we got the streak from our hard work," RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando said. "But that doesn't mean we weren't working hard, because we worked hard and I think that kind of grounds us a little bit, to know that these next couple of games we've got to make some points up to catch the leaders [The Los Angeles Galaxy]."

Chivas USA (4-9-2), on the other hand, is just trying to build on its last league fixture, a 2-0 win over Kansas City two weeks ago.

Striker Justin Braun scored both of his team's goals to end a seven-game winless streak for the last-placed Goats.

"Today, the level of concentration was there for 93 minutes, which is why we take the win," Chivas USA coach Martin Vasquez told mlssoccer.com after the match. "We knew it was going to be difficult. Winning [at CommunityAmerica Ballpark] 2-0, I think it's going to help us to keep building."

The key to the win was obviously the strong finishes by Braun, who is starting to really find his game.

"The goals are coming for me now, and it's nice," he told mlssoccer.com. "It shows that all my hard work has paid off for me. I put a lot into it this year at training and working on my touch and finishing. I think it is finally showing for me."
