Gressel's equalizer helps Whitecaps tie Real Salt Lake, 1-1

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Julian Gressel scored the tying goal for the Vancouver Whitecaps in a 1-1 Major League Soccer draw with Real Salt Lake on Saturday in front of 20,567 fans.

Gressel’s game-tying goal came in the 87th minute for the Whitecaps (9-11-7). Ryan Gauld and Ranko Veselinovic had assists on the goal.

Sergio Cordova scored the lone goal for RSL (10-8-8).

The Whitecaps outshot Real Salt Lake 14-13 and each team had four shots on goal.

Zac MacMath saved three of the four shots he faced for RSL. Thomas Hasal made three saves for the Whitecaps.

The late goal for Vancouver marked the Caps' 14th point this season earned on goals scored after the 85th minute, which is the most in the MLS this season.

Both teams next play Saturday. RSL visits Dallas and the Whitecaps host Nashville.
