In a game with major playoff implications, Minnesota United hosted visiting Real Salt Lake at Allianz Field, looking to take more from the tilt than the points the teams split back in July at Rio Tinto Stadium. The game began with RSL sitting above MNUFC in second place, but it would end with the Loons in second (and eventually third on the evening after Sounders FC beat Red Bulls) and the Claret-and-Cobalt looking up. Minnesota came out firing on all cylinders but faltered briefly after conceding an early goal. The home side would come roaring back on the strength of a brace from Darwin Quintero and a late goal from sub Ethan Finlay to seal a 3-1 win.
