Real Salt Lake Upsets Chicago to Clinch Eastern Conference Final

After making the playoffs by the skin of their teeth, the scrappy Real Salt Lake team clinched the Eastern Conference Final in a tight game against the Chicago Fire. Real Salt Lake initially won a playoff bid in a wild card, having tied with two other teams for the last slot. RSL won a two-game series against last year’s winner, the Columbus Crew to advance to the Eastern Conference Final where they defeated Chicago in penalty kicks. RSL will face the LA Galaxy in Seattle on Nov. 21 to determine the MLS champion.
