Dave van der Bergh Sends Red Bulls To Their First MLS Cup Final

At Sandy, Utah:

Dave van der Bergh scored the only goal of the Western Conference final (28') on Saturday night as the New York Red Bulls defeated homestanding Real Salt Lake 1-0 to reach the first MLS Cup final in the franchise's 13-year history.

Next up for the artists formerly known as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars (they were renamed in 2006) is the MLS Cup final against the Columbus Crew (another original MLS club making their finals debut) next Sunday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

With the Red Bulls and Crew in the final, FC Dallas (renamed in 2005 from the Dallas Burn) becomes the only surviving original MLS club to have yet to reach the championship game.
