MLS Playoffs: Crew and RSL Advance

The opening round of the Major League Soccer playoffs continued on Saturday.

Eastern Conference:

At Columbus, Ohio:

Goals from Brad Evans (7') and Robbie Rogers (57') lifted the Columbus Crew to a 2-0 home win in game two of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Kansas City Wizards, enabling the Crew to win their two-match set 3-1 on aggregate. Next up for Columbus, the Eastern Conference final, to be played this coming Thursday at home against the Chicago Fire.

Western Conference:

At Carson, California:

A 2-2 road draw was good enough for Real Salt Lake as they took their two-match set with Chivas USA 3-2 on aggregate. Dema Kovalenko (39') and Javier Morales (77') provided the scoring for RSL. Sacha Kljestan (30') and Justin Braun (83') each scored once for the Goats. RSL will face the winner of the New York-Houston series (to be decided Sunday in Houston) in the Western Conference final.
