July 7, 2005 | SALT LAKE CITY -- Jason
Kreis' goal from a penalty kick in the 90th minute of
Monday night's game against the MetroStars gave Real
Salt Lake a 2-2 tie instead of a loss.
Kreis, the MLS' all-time leading scorer, kicked the
ball in the right side of the goal past the MetroStars'
Zach Wells to score in front of 20,121 screaming fans
and finished a rally by RSL to come back from a 0-2
deficit.
Just 14 minutes into the game, RSL starting defender,
Rusty Pierce re-injured his hamstring and near the end
of the first half of regulation Brian Dunseth, another
RSL starting defender, was ejected after receiving a
red card for a hard tackle of MetroStars' Sergio Galvan
Rey, forcing RSL to play a man down the remainder of
the game.
With Kreis' goal RSL stands at 3-9-4 for the season.
