Real Salt Lake seek a fifth straight win at Rio Tinto Stadium when they host Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia Union Saturday night in Sandy. 


RSL (8-9-2) can move above the playoff line with a win after suffering a last-second defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes Saturday at Avaya Stadium with second-half substitute Danny Hoesen scoring the stoppage-time winner. 


The Union (10-5-6) took four points from back-to-back games against Eastern Conference foe Orlando, rallying for a 2-2 draw at Talen Energy Stadium Sunday after a 3-1 midweek win. Marco Fabian gave the Union an early lead, but they needed Kacper Przybylko's 90th-minute equalizer after second-half goals by Dom Dwyer and Santiago Patino.
