It had been three months since the New England Revolution posted a shutout in MLS play, and they went into a hostile stadium at Real Salt Lake and played out to a 0-0 draw.
While the first half went scoreless, it was RSL who had a few solid chances. Burrito Martinez set up Joao Plata with a backheel in the 10th minute only for Plata to fire high and wide of the target from close range. Luke Mulholland took a shot from distance only to have it saved by Shuttleworth and cleared off the line by Lee Nguyen.
