It left more than one speechless. Despite the defeat and elimination of their team from the 2019 MLS Playoffs, no one can deny that the save made by the American goalkeeper of the Portland Timbers, Steve Clark, has been one of the best seen in recent years in the sport. The goalkeeper, practically beaten after leaving his goal, showed all his skills to prevent the fall of his goal against Real Salt Lake. The video went viral on YouTube in a matter of hours.
The victory allows Real Salt Lake to return to the Western Conference semifinals, where they will face the Seattle Sounders, who earlier in the afternoon had won 4-3 in extra time against FC Dallas, and will have the advantage of playing at home, having finished second in the regular season standings.

Venezuelan international forward Jefferson Savarino became the hero of Real Salt Lake by scoring the winning goal (2-1) in the 87th minute against the Portland Timbers in the first round match of the Eastern Conference of the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States.
The match, as expected, was balanced. Both teams had good opportunities to open the scoring in the first 10 minutes, but the goalkeepers, the veteran Nick Rimando for Real Salt Lake and Clark for the Timbers, prevented it. However, in the 28th minute, Croatian striker Damir Kreilach overcame the Portland defense after a cross from Corey Baird and scored the 1-0 goal with a header.
