Real Salt Lake 1 – Columbus Crew 0 (pictures from leg one)

November 2, 2009 by f4denz.

I love the fashion statement

Not only is Nick their Homeboy, he makes some great moves on the pitch

Columbus brought in Sideshow Bob’s kid for reinforcements

These fans had the right idea, can zombies be fans?

Smoke and sun made for a great day for La Barra Real

Nat fires an early shot

There was a lot of this type action as both teams played their share of long balls

Nat as in a lot of offensive chances early, this one missed by inches

Fabi battled for every ball the whole time he was in

One of the hardest hip checks seen outside of hockey in years

Told you there were a lot of these in and out of the box

Hesmer and the Crew packed the box for most of the match

I think official missed the fact that Robbie was holding on to stop the push, not the other way

In the end Robbie poked Yura’s pass just beyond Hesmer in the 88^th minute

It all too much for the very defensive minded Crew in the end, funny on a week when Payne accused RSL of playing ugly when they went to DC, that was the ugliest I have seen a team come into Rio Tinto and play.
