SAN JOSE, Calif. (Saturday, October 1, 2016) – Real Salt Lake had a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. However, sealing that postseason spot would need to wait one more game, as RSL fell 2-1 to the Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium.
GK Nick Rimando finished the night with four saves and DF Justen Glad scored his second goal of the season, but a set piece goal in the second half was RSL’s undoing, falling to 12-11-9 (45 points) with two matches left in the regular season.
