If Real Salt Lake goes on to lose this match, the question most people will likely be asking is, Why did Jason Kreis wait so long to bring in Paulo Junior? The Brazilian striker did not enter until the 82nd minute of the CONCACAF Champions League final against Monterrey, which was probably about 10 minutes later than he probably should have entered for Fabian Espindola.

RSL's attack suffered for lack of finishing much of the night, with Espindola missing several golden opportunities. Alvaro Saborio, his strike partner, did not have any howlers, but he also didn't create many good chances.
As it stands, it looks like Humberto Suazo's goal at the end of the first half is going to stand up as the game's only goal and allow Monterrey to win the title by a 3-2 aggregate score. Sergio Santana assisted on that goal, as both looked far more composed around the net than RSL's strikers.
