Meanwhile, Vancouver Whitecaps seem to be packing one final flourish after defeating Montreal Impact 3-1.

Real Salt Lake went into the game against Colorado with a spring in their step after having beaten Los Angeles FC in convincing fashion in midweek. However, they started letting in goals as early as the third minute of the game and ended the match with 10 men and a five-goal deficit.

Speaking to the press after the embarrassing loss, midfielder Damir Kreilach said,

Vancouver Whitecaps, however, would be ill-advised to rest on their laurels as Real Salt Lake are still a formidable unit and will be raring to force their critics to go silent. Whitecaps pulled off the 3-1 win against rivals Montreal in the absence of Lucas Cavallini who missed the game due to suspension.

Fredy Montero scored a brace for Vancouver Whitecaps and Chris Dajome scored the other. Head coach Marc Dos Santos was obviously all praise for Montero.
