Damir Kreilach scored his 10th goal of the season and Real Salt Lake beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Saturday night. 

David Ochoa had two saves for Real Salt Lake (10-9-6). The 20-year old has four shutouts this season. 

Aaron Herrera went toward the end line, faked inside and then cut back to evade defender Brad Smith before playing a perfectly placed ball in front of the net, where Kreilach put a header into an open net in the 48th minute. Herrera, a 24-year-old defender who came into this season with five career assists, has nine this season. 

RSL has won back-to-back games and three of its last four.
