MLS Cup Playoffs: Sounders and RSL Battle To Series-Opening Scoreless Stalemate As Goalkeepers Star

At Seattle:

The opening contest of the Major League Soccer Western Conference semifinal series between the Seattle Sounders and visiting Real Salt Lake ended in a 0-0 draw on Friday night.  Both goalkeepers----RSL's Nick Rimando (with five saves--and who finished the match despite playing the last twenty minutes with a swollen eye) and the Sounders' Michael Gspurling (four saves)----turned in outstanding performances.

The series will conclude at Sandy, Utah next Thursday night.
