 At Rio Tinto Stadium, Sandy, Utah:


Sebastian Blanco scored twice (17', 45') and set up another goal (Aaron Herrera's own goal in the 38th minute) as the Portland Timbers held off Real Salt Lake 3-1 on the road on Wednesday to assure themselves of hosting an opening round MLS Cup Playoff game.


Albert Rusnak converted a penalty kick for RSL's lone goal in the 88th minute.


The Timbers will close out regular-season play at home on Sunday against Austin FC at 3:00 PM Pacific Time (Timbers TV Network via KPDX-TV, Portland-Vancouver/ESPN+).
