Final Score:.....Toronto FC......1..........Real Salt Lake..........0...........
Attendance was not announced but listed as 21644 on this mild evening.
The Man of the Match (who is always a TFC player) was Milos Kocic. He had to make a few key saves especially after the TFC goal to preserve the shutout. Before the game Ty Harden was awarded the Esquire Player of the Month for July for his community service.
This was the first start in the MLS for TFC midfielder Matt Stinson. He is only 18. RSL midfielder made his sixth start for RSL at only age 17 and was coming off his being awarded MLS goal-of-the-week honours in their last game against New York Red Bulls. Torsten Frings was once again used as a central defender for TFC. Although this designated player was brought to this city as a midfielder, head coach Aron Winter has used him as a steadying influence on the defence with long term injuries to Adrian Cann and Dicoy Williams.
Real Salt Lake has never scored or beaten Toronto FC in Toronto. They have two players who were actually born in Toronto. Will Johnson has played for the Canadian national team and Andy Williams has played internationals for Jamaica.
Tonight's TFC win extends their modest unbeaten streak in all competitions to five with three wins and two ties. It was their first win against MLS opposition since July 2nd when they won the Nutrilite Cup against Vancouver Whitecaps.
