SANDY, Utah -- Real Salt Lake gave a perfect lesson on how to dominate an opponent on both sides of the ball. For 90 minutes, Salt Lake combined aggressive offence and relentless defence to limit shots, control possession and set up easy scoring chances. Kyle Beckerman scored two goals, while rookie forward Devon Sandoval and Luis Gil added one apiece, to lead Salt Lake to a 4-0 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night. "This, for me, is the most complete match weve played the entire season," Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis said. The win kept Salt Lake (13-8-6) atop the MLS standings. Gils goal was Salt Lakes 47th of the season, breaking the previous franchise record of 46 set in 2012. Beckerman gave the team No. 48 right before the end of the second half. Columbus (8-12-5) snapped a two-game winning streak, denying Crew coach Robert Warzycha his 71st career win with the team and becoming the clubs all-time leader in coaching victories. "We didnt match their intensity," Warzycha said. "They were first to the ball -- especially in the first half. Even though they only scored one goal, they were much sharper." Much of Salt Lakes scoring frenzy came about because the team practically refused to let Columbus touch the ball for long stretches. Salt Lake controlled possession for 65 per cent of the time through both halves. It allowed the Crew just one shot before halftime and limited them to four total shots. Salt Lake, on the other hand, had 17 total shots and put seven on goal. "Our best defence is when we have the ball," Beckerman said. "If were possessing it well and were creating chances and were getting corner kicks and were keeping them pinned in, then it makes our defence a little bit easier." Still, Salt Lake had little to show for its efforts until the waning moments before halftime. The Crew defence clamped down and initially made it difficult for Salt Lake to finish any scoring chances. Columbus had a good scoring chance on its lone first-half shot in the 37th minute when Federico Higuain sent in a right footer on an angle toward the right post. Nick Rimando intercepted the ball at the post to keep the Crew from breaking the scoreless tie. Everything changed in the final minute of the half with Beckermans deflected goal, which ended a 230-minute stretch for Columbus without giving up any goals. Javier Morales set things in motion when he bounced a free kick off Will Trapp on the right end of the Crews four-man defensive wall. The ball then ricocheted off Beckermans foot behind the wall and trickled inside the right post to make it 1-0. "It really took a lot of steam out of them to get that goal right before half," Beckerman said. "A lot of teams will come in here and are just going to sit in and try to get 0-0 into halftime and then see if they can sneak something in (later). So to get that was big for us." Salt Lake added to its advantage early in the second half as Sandoval made it 2-0 in the 51st minute when he flicked a cross from Garcia to him inside the 6-yard box inside the left post. Columbus nearly cut into the lead in the 77th when a throw-in from Josh Williams bounced inside the 6-yard box to Ryan Finley. Finley headed the ball toward the right post, but it went just wide. Gil added an insurance goal in the 83rd. Ned Grabavoy flicked a short through ball ahead to him deep in the box. Gil sidestepped a defender and buried the ball down the centre. Beckerman capped the scoring in the 89th when he threaded the ball inside the left post. "They proved tonight why they are in first place," Crew defender Josh Williams said. "Theyre really good on the ball possession wise. We just couldnt keep track of them." Higuain was sent off with a red card in the 90th and will be suspended for the Crews match at Seattle next weekend.
