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.

Real Salt Lake is set to host Los Angeles FC in their next match, continuing their late-season push for the playoffs.
