Rimando makes 3 saves, Real Salt Lake ties Toronto FC 0-0
SANDY, Utah — Sebastian Giovinco had two shots on net, including a penalty kick, as Toronto FC tied host Real Salt Lake 0-0 on Saturday in their Major League Soccer opener.
Giovinco was given a yellow card for unsporting behaviour in the 82nd minute. He has 39 goals in two seasons and was the 2015 MLS Golden Boot winner.
“He’s definitely a player that we circle and always have to know when he’s around and when that ball turns over,” said Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who had three saves. “I know first eyes are on him and Jozy Altidore, and I think that goes with Toronto.
“Their first instinct when they get the ball is to play it to them, so I think we did well and finding the spaces they were in closing them down and making it difficult.”
