Real Salt Lake are returning to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the fourth consecutive season and 14th time overall.
Head coach Pablo Mastroeni's side locked up their postseason place with Saturday's 3-3 draw vs. the Portland Timbers.
RSL are second in the Western Conference (51 points; 14W-7L-9D), on pace for home-field advantage with four games remaining.
Star players
Colombian striker Chicho Arango paces the squad with 29 goal contributions (17g/12a), putting him second in the Golden Boot presented by Audi race.
Young star Diego Luna helps lead the attack, adding 6g/12a amid Andrés Gómez's club-record transfer to Ligue 1 side Rennes. Helping offset Gómez's exit, No. 10 Diogo Gonçalves and winger Dominik Marczuk were signed this summer.
Braian Ojeda and Emeka Eneli patrol the midfield, while RSL's defense is highlighted by MLS All-Star Justen Glad.
Will RSL defy the odds, reach their first MLS Cup since 2013 and hoist their second-ever league title?
