Real Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy has been fined for an extra-time flop against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Grabavoy was streaking down the left side of the field Saturday, when Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas made a challenge and Grabavoy fell to the grass. The referee ultimately showed Sarvas a yellow card. But after the MLS Disciplinary Committee reviewed the play, Grabavoy was fined an undisclosed amount for “simulation.” The incident, however, could still prove more costly for L.A. Sarvas...

Sandy • Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis listed the young forward’s skills and attributes. An excellent dribbler, a fine striker, and a good finisher with terrific size and speed. “He has all the tools,” Kreis said of 20-year-old Olmes Garcia. “The only question would come down to desire, and he’s shown that by the boatloads.” Garcia put the entire repertoire on display before nearly 19,000 fans at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night, electrifying the crowd with a pair of second-half goals to li...

Sandy • If Real Salt Lake seems to be scoring a ton of goals lately, there’s a good reason. It is. After a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night at Rio Tinto, RSL has outscored the opposition 17-7 in the last seven games. Not coincidentally, Real is 5-1-1 in that stretch. “You go on streaks when you’re scoring and not scoring,” said forward Robbie Findley. “But things are rolling for us right now. “We’re getting a lot of opportunities and we’re putting them away. You can’t ma...

Sandy • It’s safe to say the loss pricked RSL’s pride. In late April, the Los Angeles Galaxy came to Rio Tinto Stadium without Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and starting goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, and embarrassed Real Salt Lake with two early goals and a clean sheet. Since April 27, however, RSL has come alive. Los Angeles, when it returns to Rio Tinto on Saturday, will be facing one of the hottest teams in Major League Soccer. RSL is 5-1-1 across all competitions since being beaten by the rival ...
