San Jose, Calif. • Real Salt Lake showed it knows the way to San Jose. But knowing how to win on the road? That’s a different matter entirely, as RSL learned again on Saturday night in a 0-0 draw with the MLS-worst Earthquakes.
The 24-year-old Tarbell had his first clean sheet of the season and the third of his career. It was San Jose’s first shutout in 25 games, dating to a 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Sept. 16.
Real Salt Lake’s Albert Rusnák, who came in tied for second on the team with five goals this season, left the game due to neck pain in the seventh minute.
