Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Nick Rimando made five saves, including a great diving stop in extra time, as Real Salt Lake remained undefeated at home with a 0-0 draw Saturday against the Kansas City Wizards.
Rimando's shutout was his second of the season. Real Salt Lake (3-5-3) snapped a two-game losing streak in Major League Soccer and a three-game losing streak in all competitions.
Kansas City (3-4-3) posted its fourth shutout of the season, but it is winless in its last five and seven of its last eight. Kevin Hartman had seven saves for K.C.
Real had lost three straight games on the road - two in MLS and one in the U.S. Open Cup. Although the Utah club threatened Hartman a few times, they couldn't find the back of the net.
Rimando preserved the draw and the unbeaten home record - Real Salt Lake is one of just three MLS teams still unbeaten at home - with a spectacular diving stop on Kerry Zavagnin in the 90th minute. Toronto FC and the Houston Dynamo are also unbeaten at home.
Since opening the season with two straight wins, Kansas City has struggled. The Wizards were strong defensively against Real Salt Lake but their offense failed to create that many good scoring chances.
Kansas City fell to last place in the Eastern Conference, one point behind D.C. United. D.C. rallied for a 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire on Saturday.
Real Salt Lake is sixth in the Western Conference, but is still within striking distance of first place. Real Salt Lake also has a four-point lead on the San Jose Earthquakes.
RSL will try to win its first match on the road this year on April 14 at Chivas USA. Kansas City will try to break out of its slump on April 14 when it hosts the Columbus Crew, who are winless - and scoreless - in their last four.
