SANDY, Utah (Sunday, June 13, 2010) – Real Salt Lake will look to stay sharp during the current MLS break for FIFA World Cup group play and prepare for its first-ever appearance in the upcoming CONCACAF Champions League this Saturday, June 19, when the defending MLS Cup champs will play host to Costa Rican side Puntarenas F.C. at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Utah side’s first full friendly of the 2010 campaign kicks off at 7:00 p.m. MT and will not be televised, but fans that can’t make it down to Sandy can follow the action live by tuning into RSL’s official radio partners – KALL 700 Sports (English), ESPN Deportes 1600-AM and Homero 106.1-FM (Spanish) – or by checking into RSL’s Official Twitter feed, located at www.Twitter.com/RealSaltLake.

All-time, RSL has posted a 6-4-3 mark against visiting international squads, with a positive goal differential (17 goals for / 16 goals against). Puntarenas joins some of the planet’s most revered clubs in facing Real Salt Lake, as Spain’s Real Madrid (2006), Argentina’s Boca Juniors (2007), England’s Everton FC (2007/09) and Mexico’s Club América and Chivas de Guadalajara (2009) have previously blazed the trail to Utah. This will mark the second exhibition contest in as many months for the club, as the RSL Reserves played to a 1-1 draw against the Mexican Under-21 National Team at Rio Tinto Stadium back on May 15.
