SANDY, Utah (Thursday, June 24, 2010)Real Salt Lake (7-3-2, 23 pts.) will help Major League Soccer get back into the swing of things following the League’s break for the Group Stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tomorrow, Friday, June 25, when the defending MLS Cup champs will welcome the San Jose Earthquakes (5-4-2, 17 pts.) to Rio Tinto Stadium for a 7:00 p.m. MT kickoff. The important Western Conference tilt, presented by Rio Tinto, will be televised locally on KUSG 2.2 (Comcast 111/Dish Network 12) – and followed by the 30-minute America First Credit Union Post-game Report – and can also be followed live on RSL’s official radio partners – ESPN 700 (English), ESPN Deportes 1600-AM, and Homero 106.1-FM (Spanish) – or by checking RSL’s Official Twitter feed, located at www.Twitter.com/RealSaltLake.
Early arrivals at Rio Tinto Stadium will be rewarded on Friday evening, when the first 4,000 fans through the gates will receive a free RSL “Club of Nations” T-shirt celebrating the squad’s past and present cadre of international talent and the ongoing FIFA World Cup, courtesy of adidas and ESPN 700. Tickets for Friday night’s contest are still available online at www.RealSaltLake.com and www.RioTintoStadium.com, over the phone at 801-727-2700, and in person at the Rio Tinto Stadium Box Office from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Thursday and beginning at 10:00 a.m. MT on gameday.
Real Salt Lake will be looking to continue its club-record 16-game home undefeated streak in League play (11-0-5) and seven-game overall undefeated run in MLS action (6-0-1) when San Jose comes to Sandy on Friday night. The Claret-and-Cobalt and the ‘Quakes have already met twice this season at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., with RSL first taking a 3-0 triumph in both teams’ 2010 MLS season opener back on March 27 before following that up just a few weeks later on April 14 with a 5-3 win in penalty kicks in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Qualifying play after a riveting 3-3 comeback draw in added extra time. The Utah side is now 3-3-4 in League contests against San Jose, a mark that improves to 4-3-5 when factoring in their two meetings in U.S. Open Cup affairs.
