Kyle Beckerman scored on the final kick of the game on Saturday, as Real Salt Lake kept their Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs hopes alive with a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center.
Beckerman scored on a rebound in the 95th minute, on a shot into the top netting after Clement Diop saved Joao Plata's free kick but spilled the ball back into play.
RSL went down a man just 14 minutes in, as Marcelo Silva was issued a red card following Video Review, as his foul on Giovani dos Santos made for denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity.
Bradford Jamieson IV capitalized on the man advantage just before half-time, opening the scoring for the Galaxy with a well-taken shot off a Jermaine Jones feed. But LA could not hang on until the final whistle, and RSL got a big boost by drawing, going back above the playoff line for the time being in the Western Conference.
Goals
Three Things
THAT OLD MAGIC:
Beckerman remains a key player for Real Salt Lake, but his days of scoring important goals appeared to mostly be behind him. He now has three goals on the season, bouncing back from the last two seasons, when he had a combined one goal, and the finish he provided on that walk-off goal showed the 35-year-old still has it.
