Real Winners

Real Salt Lake is bringing home Utah's first ever major sports championship, and it took 120+ minutes and PK's to do it.  It was a match that was thoroughly controlled by the Galaxy, who scored one of the best team goal of the season which saw David Beckham attacking down the center of the field, playing a through ball to an on rushing Landon Donovan on the wing, who then made an inch perfect cross to the feet of Mike Magee. Real Salt Lake answered with a scramble in the box and who else but Robbie Findley able to tap home.  In penalties is where the real magic happened though.  RSL's Nick Rimando, one of the best penalty stoppers in MLS history, going up against Josh Saunders, who had come on for an injured Donovan Ricketts in the second half.  Both would come up huge, with both keepers making huge stops.  The shootout even saw Landon Donovan miss his first penalty in some would say years, when he skied it over the goal.  It came down to Robbie Russel with a chance to grab the trophy, and he buried it to Saunders right side and the celebration was on in Seattle in front of 46,011 fans.
