Earthquakes lose home finale to Real Salt Lake on late goal

SAN JOSE (AP) — Diego Luna scored in the 78th minute Saturday night to help Real Salt Lake send the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 to a loss in their final home game of the 2024 season.

Luna took a pass from Braian Ojeda about 10 yards outside the penalty area and, without much pressure from the Earthquakes defense, ripped a left-footed shot that bounced off the back post into the net to give Real Salt Lake (15-7-11, 56 points) a 1-0 lead.

RSL had 55% possession and outshot the Earthquakes 14-6, 6-1 on target.
