9:30 pm ET (MLS LIVE)

One of the fiercest rivalries to spring up over the last few years is renewed when Real Salt Lake play host to the LA Galaxy on Wednesday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. The teams have met three times in the last four years in the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Galaxy rolling to a conference semifinals victory last year. Real come into the game after putting an end to a long goalless drought in a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes last Friday evening, while the Galaxy havenít lost in four games after their 1-1 home draw with the Colorado Rapids last weekend.

• It took an own goal, but Real Salt Lake put an end to their goalless streak at 387 minutes – the longest in MLS this season – in their 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday evening. It was RSL’s first goal since April 5, when they defeated San Jose 1-0 – it’s the second-longest goalless drought in the club’s history.
• The Galaxy extended their undefeated streak to four games with a second consecutive tie with their 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at StubHub Center.
• The teams have met three times in the last four years in the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Galaxy have advanced on two occasions, including in last year’s Western Conference Semifinals, when they took the series after a 5-0 win in the second leg at StubHub Center. The teams also met in MLS Cup 2009, RSL winning in a penalty shootout.
• The teams evenly split their regular season series a year ago. They split the two matches at StubHub Center, each team winning by a 1-0 scoreline; they played to a 1-1 draw in the lone game at Rio Tinto Stadium.
