We said: Real Salt Lake 1-1 Sporting Kansas City

Real Salt Lake already know their place in the playoffs is secured, but Mastroeni's men will not be resting on their laurels as they seek to seal home-field advantage in the post-season. Sporting KC are running out of opportunities to string wins together this term, and we feel that the visitors at America First Field will only be good enough for a point.
