Minute		Description
90' +6		And indeed it is as the final whistle sounds on a 3-2 win for Real Salt Lake. The win sends them top of Group A on nine points, two ahead of Cruz Azul.
90' +5		Findley breaks and shoots just wide of the target. Might be the last kick of the game, though.
90' +4		Warner with some nice moves on the left to keep the ball controlled in the corner.
90' +3		Rimando comes out and draws contact, but no foul is called. A weak cross comes in from Angulo, but Olave is able to clear despite the open net.
90' +2		Beltran and Alexandre do their best to keep the ball in the corner, but the hosts finally win a throw.
90'		J. Justavino gets yellow.
		J. Alexandre gets yellow.
		We are now headed into stoppage time as Real Salt Lake try to hang on.
88'		Corner for Árabe Unido comes in, but Beckerman heads clear.
87'		F. Espíndola goes off after a red card!
87'		Interesting scenes from the Real Salt Lake bench. Espíndola is sent off after the fourth official reported apparent verbal abuse from the sidelines. Espíndola was booked and seemed unhappy with the referee as he went off earlier.
85'		Grabavoy lofts in the free kick, but the ball is headed clear by the Árabe Unido defense.
84'		Angulo commits a foul throw on the right, and what could have been a good attacking possession is lost. Meanwhile, Johnson is hacked down again at the other end for another free kick.

Minute		Description
82'		While Rimando is tended to, Real Salt Lake make their final change with Collen Warner replacing González.
81'		C. Warner enters the game and replaces N. González.
81'		A long ball floats into the Salt Lake area, and Rimando is fouled by Mosquera as the two vie for the ball.
79'		The hosts continue to put numbers forward, but they have not been able to put in anything to trouble Rimando since the penalty.
76'		Yellow to González as his lunging tackle on Caesar is punished.
75'		N. González gets yellow.
75'		And the second sub now for Salt Lake as Saborío goes off in favor of Jean Alexandre.
74'		J. Alexandre enters the game and replaces A. Saborío.
74'		De la Cruz goes down in the area under Olave, and shouts for a penalty are ignored.
72'		Johnson makes a nice run on the right, but he eventually loses the ball after being surrounded by defenders.
70'		Twenty minutes to go and it's still all to play for here in La Chorreta. Each side look capable of scoring the next goal.
69'		Jaramillo crosses in from the left, but Olave makes the clearance for the visitors.
68'		Aguilar breaks into space in the middle, but he scuffs his shot nearer the corner flag than the goal.
67'		González's low effort is straight into the wall. The ball gets played back in to Johnson, who fires into the side netting.
66'		Free kick on the edge of the area for the visitors as Findley goes down.
64'		This game is hanging by a thread with Real Salt Lake clinging to a narrow lead. They would go top of the table on nine points with a win ahead of Cruz Azul on seven.
62'		Corner kick in by González is headed over by Beckerman as Real Salt Lake continue to look dangerous from set pieces.
61'		Johnson wins another free kick on the right as his pace is proving tricky for the Árabe Unido defense. Olave heads in from the free kick, but the whistle had gone for a foul against the goalkeeper.
60'		R. Findley enters the game and replaces F. Espíndola.
		L. Jaramillo gets yellow.
		F. Espíndola gets yellow.
		Robbie Findley comes on for Real Salt Lake in place of Espíndola, who is booked for not leaving the pitch in a timely manner.

57'		Yellow card to the home side as de la Cruz slices down Johnson at midfield.
56'		Shouts for penalty again for the home side as Russell seems to bring down Aguilar, but the referee says to play on.
55'		This is a bit of déjà vu for the visitors after they let a lead slip away in a bizarre 5-4 loss at Cruz Azul back on Matchday 2. They were 3-1 up, fell behind 4-3, equalized in stoppage time and then conceded the late winner.
54'		That certainly changes things as the Panamanians are now one goal from being level after it looked they were well out of it at half-time.
53'		Goal Árabe Unido! And they are back in the game as Angulo slots home from the spot with Rimando sent the wrong way.
52'		Penalty goal scored by M. Angulo for Arabe Unido!
52'		Penalty to Árabe Unido! Beltran with the slightest of challenges on Angulo, and the spot kick is awarded.
51'		Aguilar shoots from 20 yards out, but the low effort is easy for Rimando to handle.
50'		Salt Lake early on are sitting back just a bit as Árabe Unido press hard.
48'		The hosts will need to throw numbers forward as they can't afford a home loss now if they want to advance from this group.

45' +3		And there's the half-time whistle. A great start for the hosts turned sour in a hurry as Real Salt Lake answered Aguilar's early opener with three unanswered. They aren't out of it yet, Árabe Unido, but there's a long way back against a confident Real Salt Lake side.
45' +2		González lofts in a free kick from the left, but a foul against Marín in the center of the area draws a whistle from Archundía.
45'		Two minutes of added time according to fourth official Jafeth Perea.
44'		Árabe Unido get a rare break forward, but Aguilar's low ball is weak and right at Rimando.
43'		Goal Real Salt Lake! Johnson holds his run to beat the Árabe Unido offside trap, and Saborío's perfect allows him an easy finish for his second of the game. 3-1 to the visitors.
42'		W. Johnson has scored a goal for Real Salt Lake! Assist by A. Saborío.
40'		González is down for a moment as play stops, but he will walk off under his own power.
38'		After a dream start by the hosts, Real Salt Lake have really established themselves as the better side here. The Panamanian outfit will want to grasp one back before the break.
36'		A. Saborío has scored a goal for Real Salt Lake! Assist by N. González.
36'		Goal Real Salt Lake! A corner kick by González is headed home by high-flying Saborío. The ball took a deflection on the way in, but it was not enough to stop the goal the visitors have worked for here in the first half.
35'		Free kick from the right by Aguilar is flicked on target, but Rimando is able to make the save.
33'		Neat passing by Espíndola nearly puts Beckerman through, but he is crowded by six blue shirts of the home side.
31'		Marín was down in the area there for a bit, and after two minutes of treatment the game can continue.
29'		Another great save by Marín denies Beckerman from the top of the area, and it's a corner to the visitors.
27'		Corner for the hosts as as Fidel Caesar is thwarted on his way in from the right. And Aguilar sends in a dangerous ball that Rimando parries away. It needed a desperate clearance, too.
26'		Russell goes over the top of Angulo for a 50-50 ball and comes flying to the turf as a result. The defender will need a bit of treatment for that one.
24'		N. Carroll gets yellow.
24'		Free kick to Real Salt Lake on the left side as Carroll hauls down González. The host defender picks up a booking for his trouble. On the free kick, the ball comes loose to Robbie Russell, but his shot is blocked nicely by Marín. It would easily be 2-1 to the visitors now if not for the goalkeeper.
22'		Saborío tries a flick pass forward for Espíndola, but the ball sails away for an Árabe Unido throw.
20'		Beckerman's cross from the left tries to find Álvaro Saborío, but Marín comes out to punch clear.
18'		A great save by Marín denies what was surely to be a second goal for Real Salt Lake. Espíndola's cutback found Grabavoy in the center, but the goalkeeper did well to block the close-range shot.
17'		Aguilar turns inside Chris Schuler before crossing, but Rimando goes low to capture.
16'		Nelson González's initial effort is headed behind, but the second comes out deep for a long drive that just sails wide.
15'		Corner to Salt Lake as the match has turned around a bit now. Mexican referee Benito Archundía sorts things out in the area before the effort.
13'		Free kick to Salt Lake in the left channel, but Beckerman's lofted ball to the back post is handled by goalkeeper José Marín.
12'		What a cracking start to the game, and with as tight a section as Group A is proving to be, one expects no less from this tilt.
10'		W. Johnson has scored a goal for Real Salt Lake!
10'		Goal Salt Lake! A horrendous giveaway by Árabe Unido captain Harold Cummings allows Edgar Espíndola a short shot, but his blocked effort comes out to Will Johnson for a simple finish. A bad error by the defender, and the visitors are gifted an equalizer.
9'		Angulo breaks into the area on the left, but his centering pass is cleared out by a desperate Tony Beltran.
7'		Kyle Beckerman lofts one down the left seeking out Ned Grabavoy, but Nahil Carroll cuts out the easy ball.
5'		And now a corner for Árabe Unido as they continue to press after the early goal. Aguilar plays it short before crossing low, only to see the ball roll right to Rimando.
4'		Chase down the left for a ball as Mario Angulo tries to spark the home side attack, but Jamison Olave cuts it out for a throw.
2'		W. Aguilar has scored a goal for Arabe Unido!
2'		Goal Árabe Unido! The hosts win an early free kick as Oscar Londoño is brought down just outside the area, and Williams Aguilar loops one over the wall and past Nick Rimando in the Salt Lake goal.
1'		The whistle blows and the match is under way.
		The second half of group stage play in the CONCACAF Champions League continues tonight as Árabe Unido play host to Real Salt Lake in a crucial Group A tie. The Panamanians lost 2-1 in Utah on Matchday 1 and will seek revenge in this fixture. They sit bottom of the group on three points while RSL could go top of the group with a victory.
