Salt Lake (14-7-11), which locked up its postseason place with 3-3 tie with the Portland Timbers on Sept. 21, is unbeaten in four consecutive games. Real Salt Lake's Brayan Vera, who was shown a yellow card in the 32nd minute, was shown a red card in stoppage time. Zac MacMath had two saves for RSL.

The draw kept eighth-place Minnesota United one point ahead of the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference, which would give the Loons home-field advantage for a first-round MLS Cup playoff match.

Minnesota United has secured their position for post-season play following a tie game with chaos and drama closing things out.
