Real Salt Lake will look to finish out its 2008 slate of games at Rice-Eccles Stadium in undefeated fashion this Saturday, Sept. 20, when the Utah side will play host to its 2005 expansion brethren, CD Chivas USA, for a pivotal Western Conference showdown. Kick-off for the finale at Rice-Eccles - where RSL is 7-0-5 in MLS play this season - is set for 7:00 p.m. MT for a match that can be followed live on RSL's radio partners - JACK-FM 103.1 and "Ke Buena" 1600 AM. Saturday's contest will be one for positioning in the tight Western Conference race, with Real Salt Lake (8-9-7, 31 pts.) clinging to second place in the standings, sitting one point ahead of visiting Chivas USA (8-10-6, 30 pts.) with just six games remaining in the regular season.
The two rivals will reconvene on Sunday morning at the Quinn's Junction Sports Complex in Park City, where the Real Salt Lake Reserves will play the sixth and final home contest on their 2008 MLS Reserve Division schedule against Chivas USA, with kick-off slated for 10:00 a.m. MT.
