MLS Decision Day: Real Salt Lake vs. LA Galaxy Preview

Decision Day pits LA Galaxy against Real Salt Lake on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. ET, a winner‑takes‑all clash for the Galaxy’s playoff hopes. A victory secures LA’s spot in the Western Conference postseason, while a loss forces them to rely on other results.
