The official MLS match summary confirms the score and scorers; Real Salt Lake’s full match recap provides the goal details, lineups, and statistics.

How the 1–1 draw unfolded

The teams went into halftime scoreless. RSL created several chances after the break, including a Noel Caliskan header and efforts from Morgan Guilavogui and Sergi Solans that San Jose goalkeeper Angus Gunn stopped. Kobi Henry also came close with a sliding volley from close range, but the attempt went just over the crossbar. Those missed chances left the match open even as Real Salt Lake built pressure.

That second-half push finally produced a goal in the 79th minute. Aiden Hezarkhani played the ball to Juan Manuel Sanabria near the edge of the penalty area. Sanabria turned wide and laid it off for de Fougerolles, who drove a low shot off the far post and into the net. It was the Canadian center back’s first home start for RSL and his second goal contribution in as many matches, according to the club recap.

San Jose found its response deep into stoppage time. At 90+4, a ball deflected up off Sanabria and dropped to Jasinski, who hit a first-time volley into the bottom-left corner. RSL’s recap lists the goal as unassisted. The late finish made the final score 1–1 and ended the hosts’ chance to claim all three points.
