Sandy - Opportunities were few for Real Salt Lake during the opening round of the MLS Cup Playoffs on Saturday afternoon at Rio Tinto Stadium, but Robbie Findley finally found the back of the net against visiting Columbus in leg one of the East Semi-Finals.
In the 88th minute Findley deflected a pass by Yura Movsisyan into the Crew net. It pulled a 1-0 victory after what had been a ragged performance. Earlier, RSL's best chance was taken by Findley, a break away in the 83rd minute, that was blasted into the side netting.
The rematch is Thursday at Columbus.
