The Western Conference could mathematically welcome a third team into the playoffs as Real Salt Lake will clinch a spot with either a win or tie against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Both teams come into the match on opposite sides of high-scoring results. RSL downed Colorado 5-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium, while the Whitecaps took a heavy defeat at the hands of the Portland Timbers (3-0). The defeat does not count the Whitecaps out as they sit two point below fifth-place Portland.
