From Real Salt Lake’s perspective, every game from here on out will feel like a playoff game.
There are just four games left in RSL’s regular season, and the team sits in fourth place in the Western Conference playoff picture. Just three points separates Salt Lake from the Portland Timbers, who are in eighth place. If the playoffs started today, RSL would have a home game in the first round.
But with less and less bites of the apple available, RSL knows how vital each of the next four games is.
“Those four games — all four games — are important games,” RSL interim coach Freddy Juarez said.
