Real Salt Lake scored in the second minute and beat the New England Revolution 3-0 on Saturday night in Sandy to end a 13-game Major League Soccer winless steak.

It was the first MLS victory since May 16 for RSL (9-13-5), which climbed two spots to 11th place in the Western Conference with seven regular-season games remaining. Nine teams in each conference will reach the postseason.

New England (14-9-4) remained in second place in the Eastern Conference.

In the game’s second minute, RSL’s Dominik Marczuk drilled the ball into the box from the right side, a defender knocked it down, and Aiden Hezarkhani scored off the rebound.

RSL’s Sergi Solans scored in the 62nd and 80th minute to seal the win.

Real Salt Lake is scheduled to return to action Oct. 10 (5:30 p.m. MDT, Apple TV) at Philadelphia.
