Teal Bunbury didn't celebrate his second goal in as many games by doing a human bobblehead routine. He didn't let the moment pass without a little gesture, though.

Bunbury made binoculars with his hands as the crowd roared after his 34th minute goal, the one that ensured that Sporting Kansas City would run its unbeaten streak to 14 matches as SKC topped Real Salt Lake 2-0 at Livestrong Sporting Park on Wednesday night.

Bunbury's goal was nice; midfielder Roger Espinoza's was even better. The Honduran international opened the scoring with a rocket into the near post top corner of the goal in the 29th minute. 

That was enough for Jimmy Nielsen, who made a couple of key saves, to post the shutout.

Sporting KC went on the attack early, Omar Bravo passing to Espinoza for a flick that RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando had to tip over the goal. Espinoza seemed determined, however, and it paid off with his first goal of the season and first in three years. 

Espinoza cut through a pair of RSL defenders with a sharp move and when in space, took his shot off the dribble and beat Rimando.

Sporting Kansas City wasn't done. They earned a throw-in for Matt Besler near one corner, and the ball came to Kei Kamara for a header that Rimando somehow stopped. The rebound came out to Bunbury who put it away despite another valiant try by Rimando. 

SKC outshot RSL 11-3 and had five shots on goal to Real Salt Lake's zero in the first half. But Espinoza was sent off with a straight red in the 57th minute for a hard tackle on RSL's Kyle Beckerman.

Given the man advantage, RSL never mounted much of an offensive attack. One shot by Alvaro Saborio was saved off the line in the 71st minute, Seth Sinovic the defender in the right place at the right time for SKC. 

Five minutes later, Nielsen stopped a low liner from Beckerman off a free kick, and SKC kept its margin of victory.
