MLS Playoffs: Champs Dethroned

The Major League Soccer Cup playoffs continued Thursday night.


At Columbus, Ohio:

Goals from Javier Morales (37'), Robbie Findley (PK-45'+2), and Andy Williams (74') enabled Real Salt Lake (a team that won only two games on the road during the regular season) to overtake the defending champions Columbus Crew and win game two of their two-match Eastern Conference semifinal series 3-2 on the road and win the series 4-2 on aggregate.

Next up for RSL is the Eastern Conference final, to be played at the home stadium of the winner of the ongoing New England Revolution-Chicago Fire series.
