SANDY, UTAH (AP) — Alvaro Saborio scored a pair of goals in the second half and Nat Borchers came up with the game-winner in stoppage time to lift Real Salt Lake to a 3-2 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday night.

The win helped Salt Lake extend its unbeaten streak to six games. FC Dallas is now winless in nine games and has not prevailed in Utah since 2007.

Injuries and absences for other reasons left both teams short-handed. A total of seven midfielders and defenders were scrubbed because of injuries for FC Dallas. An eighth player, Brek Shea, was also not available because of a suspension. RSL did not have goalkeeper Nick Rimando or team captain Kyle Beckerman because both were playing with the US National Team on Saturday.
