Separated by one point in the Western Conference standings, a home playoff game could be decided Wednesday night at Rio Tinto Stadium when Real Salt Lake host the LA Galaxy.
Real Salt Lake (14-12-5) are in fifth place in the West, but just three points above the playoff line following a 0-0 draw against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium Saturday night. Damir Kreilach had the best chance for a heavily-rotated RSL with a 75th-minute free kick that caromed off the Revs wall.
A week after sitting below the playoff line, the Galaxy (15-13-3) moved up to fourth place in the West following a 2-1 win over the Montreal Impact Saturday night in Carson.
