Damir Kreilach also scored his fourth playoff goal in as many postseason appearances for third-seeded RSL, who advanced to face second-seeded Seattle next Wednesday night. Dairon Asprilla scored for sixth-seeded Portland, the defending Western Conference champion, who fell to RSL after winning both of the teams’ regular-season meetings. For RSL, Marcelo Silva flashed his header of Kyle Beckerman’s cross just wide of the left post in the 62nd minute. And Rimando could only watch as Blanco’s overhead kick deflected off Nedum Onuoha and just outside his left post. Just before Savarino’s winner, both Portland’s Valeri and Salt Lake’s Rusnak dragged low efforts just wide of the post.
