Real Salt Lake, the best team in the Western Confrence, beat Toronto FC 2-1 in MLS action Monday.
The loss extends Toronto's losing streak to five games and drops the team's overall record to 6-7-4. RSL (7-6-6) is unbeaten at home in 11 matches.
RSL was the first to get itself on the scoreboard with a goal in the 63rd minute from defender Jamison Olave, who found the back of the net for the first time in his MLS career.
It looked as if Toronto was going to grab a point and finished the match with a tie after Amado Guevara scored from a free kick in the 84th minute.
But the Reds' hope faded in the 87th minute with a RSL goal by Robbie Findley. The 22-year-old picked up a rebound from teammate Kyle Beckerman in the box.
Toronto played without Maurice Edu and Marvell Wynne, who are on Olympic duty with the U.S. team for the upcoming Beijing Games. The team is also missing forward Chad Barrett, who is being acquired from the Chicago Fire in exchange for the rights to Brian McBride.
