— Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake played to a 1-1 tie in a Major League Soccer game at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night.

Ned Grabavoy of Real Salt Lake struck first, opening the scoring in the 67th minute after a corner kick was deflected to him just outside the penalty area of Chivas USA.

He volleyed a left-footed shot past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Dan Kennedy for his second goal this season.

Jose Padilla, who had just gone into the game for Chivas USA in the 69th minute, unloaded a 25-yard shot that got past goalkeeper Nick Rimando.

It was Padilla’s fourth goal this season.

Chivas USA (4-9-3) will try to build on the solid road effort with a game against Columbus on Saturday.

Real Salt Lake (9-4-4) will play host to D.C. United the same day.
