Diego Luna was shown a straight red card in the 61st minute for violent conduct and Salt Lake (3-6-0) played a man down the rest of the way.

Sean Johnson, who had six saves for Toronto (1-4-4), has back-to-back shutouts and three in the last four games.

Real Salt Lake had 61% possession and outshot Toronto 23-2, 6-1 on target.
