Andrés Gómez opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, when he slipped a left-footed shot from just outside the area inside the post.

Diego Luna capped the scoring when he ran onto a ball played by Arongo and blasted a right-footer from the top of the penalty area in the third minute of stoppage time.

Real Salt Lake (4-2-3) is unbeaten, with three wins, in its last five games.

Beavers, in his third MLS season, had his first career shutout.

Chris Brady had three saves for Chicago (2-4-3).
