ਰੀਅਲ ਸਾਲਟ ਲੇਕ vs ਐੱਲ.ਏ. ਗੈਲੇਕਸੀ

Real Salt Lake secured a playoff place on the final day of the regular season, beating LA Galaxy 2-1 at America First Field. Both of the home side's goals came inside the first 13 minutes. Sergi Solans opened the scoring in the 10th minute. Noel Caliskan sent a long pass from midfield and Solans beat goalkeeper James Marcinkowski one-on-one. It was his 15th MLS goal of the season. Zach Booth made it 2-0 three minutes later. LA Galaxy pulled one back in the 40th minute when Luc de Fougerolles put the ball into his own net. The second half passed without a goal. The referee was Joe Dickerson, and no red cards were shown. The win mattered because of a result elsewhere. FC Dallas beat Colorado 3-1, which dropped the Rapids from ninth to 11th and left Real Salt Lake in the last Western Conference spot. It is their sixth straight playoff appearance, after a 4-1-1 run over their last six games. They travel to face eighth-placed Seattle in a one-game elimination match on November 19.
