After some early nervous moments in its own defensive end, Real Salt Lake would turn the attention to its attacking third quickly, as FW Álvaro Saborío's header off an MF Andy Williams corner just seven minutes in would set the tone for the Claret-and-Cobalt. In the 11th minute it was FW Fabian Espíndola doubling the RSL advantage with an easy finish courtesy of a Red Bulls defensive miscue, and the Argentine would bag his second of the match just ten minutes later, his finishing of a nice build up between Saborío and MF Collen Warner all but ending the proceedings before the match was even a quarter through.
New York would gain one back in the 69th minute courtesy of MF Joel Lindpere's acrobatic volley, and while the home side would continue to push for another tally it was Real Salt Lake doing enough to keep the Red Bulls at bay from there on out to gain yet another three-point result.
