Vancouver v Salt Lake
Kreilach, Glad each score a goal, RSL beats Whitecaps 2-1
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- — Damir Kreilach scored the deciding goal in a 2-1 win for Real Salt Lake over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.

Kreilach’s game-winner came in the 73rd minute to put RSL up 2-1. Jefferson Savarino assisted the goal.
RSL also got one goal from Justen Glad.
Javain Brown scored for the Whitecaps. The 23-year-old defender in his third MLS season went into the game with one goal in 53 career appearances.
