Real Salt Lake broke a nearly 450 minute scoring drought at Sporting Park Saturday night to beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1.
The goal came in the 29th minute from a Joao Plata free kick that set up defender Justen Glad on the far post to knock it in with a low strike.
It was Plata's third assist in six games so far this season and the first MLS goal of Glad's career.
RSL nearly added a second in the 57th minute from forward Yura Movsisyan, who began his career with the now defunct Kansas City Wizards, motored solo into the box and rifled a shot that ricocheted off the crossbar.
