Real Salt Lake vs. Portland Timbers @ RioTinto Stadium

Above: Fans of the Portland Timbers smoke bombed RioTinto Stadium during their match against Real Salt Lake in Sandy, Utah on Saturday, October 22, 2011. Police escorted out the culprits.

Final home game of the regular season, and probably my last Real shoot as well. RSL sat tied for 3rd in the west in points with FC Dallas, 1 spot ahead of the wild card race. Luckily for RSL, the sloppy 90th minute defense which allowed a Portland equalizer was of no consequence due to a loss by FC Dallas. With the draw and single point, RSL secured 3rd seed in the west and will take on the surging Seattle Sounders. The playoffs are here!
