Real Salt Lake Edges Sporting KC 2-1, Nears MLS Playoffs
Real Salt Lake secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City, with goals from Diego Luna and Alexandros Katranis, marking Luna's ninth goal of the season and Katranis' first of the campaign. Luna opened the scoring unassisted in the 40th minute, and Katranis extended the lead in the 62nd minute, assisted by rookie Zavier Gozo for his second assist of the season. Sporting Kansas City's lone goal came from an own goal by RSL defender Brayan Vera in the 71st minute, but RSL held on to maintain their advantage and improve their playoff positioning. The win puts Real Salt Lake within one point of the San Jose Earthquakes for the final Western Conference playoff spot, with two games in hand and six matches remaining in the regular season. RSL showed dominance in shots and controlled much of the game, with goalkeeper Rafael Cabral making key saves, while Sporting KC's John Pulskamp recorded five saves. Real Salt Lake is set to host Los Angeles FC in their next match, continuing their late-season push for the playoffs.
