Already out of regular time, Dejan Joveljic tied the match with a goal inside the box, with a powerful shot, however, the play had to be reviewed with the VAR, so the referee went to the screen.

And to the bad luck of the California team, the referee disallowed the goal, so the Claret and Cobalt beat the team of Chicharito and Douglas Costa, who were nullified by a great job by the defenders under the orders of goalkeeper Zac MacMath. 

Thus, Real Salt Lake takes the 3 points this weekend and remains in position 4 in the Western Conference, while the LA Galaxy is in position 3.
