Real Salt Lake are coming off a big three points in Seattle, where they were able to beat the Sounders 2-1. The Vancouver Whitecaps are just below the playoff line but only four points behind RSL. They’d had an up and down season and fell out of the playoff spots when LAG and Seattle drew last night. If RSL wants to keep their playoff place, and perhaps move up a place, they need to win these kinds of home games.
Caldwell
Against Seattle, Jasper Löffelsend came out at the half. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni said that he was dealing with an illness that got the best of him, so they elected to bring in Scott Caldwell.
