LA Galaxy's season ended in disappointment on Saturday as they fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at America First Field in Sandy, Utah, eliminating them from MLS playoff contention. The loss capped a campaign where the Galaxy, according to reports, "failed to meet the moment" when it mattered most.

Midfielder Sergi Roberto, wearing the number 6 shirt for LA, was seen battling Real Salt Lake's Stijn Spierings, also number 6, for possession in the second half. The defeat means the Galaxy will not participate in the postseason, while Real Salt Lake secured a vital victory at home.
