MLS Preview: Rimando on verge of record

On a seven-match unbeaten run to start the campaign, Real Salt Lake sit second in the Western Conference – three points behind Dallas.

If they can keep a clean sheet on Saturday, it would mark Rimando's 112th – equalling the MLS record held by the retired Kevin Hartman.

Real coach Jeff Cassar said Rimando's game has developed over time, making him a fine all-round goalkeeper.

"Nick has always been able to make the incredible saves," Cassar told a news conference.

"I just think now he's a complete goalkeeper. His distribution, his command of the box. He just really does it all now."

The Seattle Sounders host the Colorado Rapids in a clash between two of the West's top-four teams.

On the back of a three-match unbeaten run, the Sounders are third in the West – two points clear of the fourth-placed Rapids.

The San Jose Earthquakes are searching for their first win when they take on Chivas USA and, in Sunday's only game, the Portland Timbers meet the Houston Dynamo.
