Wizards searching for elusive win at RSL

Soccer Betting Lines

05/27/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake puts its perfect May record on the line vs. the visiting Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night in Major League Soccer action at Rio Tinto Stadium.

RSL (5-3-1) has won its previous four games in May after going winless in April to start the season. The most recent result was a 2-1 win at Chivas USA this past Saturday.

"It was a huge objective and we put a huge amount of emphasis on trying to get a shutout out [at The Home Depot Center vs. Chivas USA]," RSL coach Jason Kreis said after the game. "I think the way we started this year on the road, we wanted to be a team that would be a team that would be extremely difficult to break down when we play on the road. I wanted to make that the first and foremost objective for our team, so I was really disappointed to get that goal in the second half and the manner in which it was scored, too."

RSL gave up an 80th minute equalizer in the game after scoring a goal in the closing second of the first half before Fabian Espindola answered with the winner in the 89th.

"Apart from that, I thought we were difficult, we defended really well for the 80 minutes out of the 90, so some positives but also, we need to be fairly critical of giving that goal the way we did. But then the reaction after that, extremely pleased. [Espindola] comes on and makes the difference, and we walk away with three points, so that's great."

The Wizards (2-4-2) are on a six-game winless run and are desperate to get the full points, especially after falling 1-0 at home to the Columbus Crew this past weekend.

"I'm very frustrated, and I know that the players are as well,' Wizards coach Peter Vermes said of the winless streak. "There have been several games where we played well, but things have not fallen our way. We'll go back out and keep trying to make it happen on the training field, and then we'll try to execute in the game. This stuff can turn very quickly."

Wizards midfielder Davy Arnaud knows Saturday's game is a big one for his club after it only earned one point during a two-game home stand.

"We've got to win games," he said. "The results we have been getting have not been good enough. I would prefer to play ugly and create one chance and win 1-0 than create 10 chances and lose 1-0. We've got to find a way to win, and that's it."
