It took 78 minutes, but Real Salt Lake finally found a winner against FC Dallas. Three points at home leapfrogs RSL over the LA Galaxy in the standings as the playoff push begins in earnest.
Jamison Olave's blast on a corner kick reset came after Chris Seitz was able to save a Joao Plata shot that was the best attempt on target to that point. Javier Morales sent in the cross following a short corner, and Olave was on clean-up duty to blast the ball home.
Tony Beltran earned a yellow card in the 43rd minute. He was the only player at risk of a suspension for yellow-card accumulation, and will miss RSL's next MLS match.
