New England, Real Salt Lake seal MLS playoff berths Washington (AFP) – Canadian winger Teal Bunbury’s goal in the 66th minute Sunday launched the New England Revolution into the Major League Soccer playoffs while Real Salt Lake joined the post-season parade by defeating Houston. Bunbury, whose Guyana-born father was a Canadian international, netted the pivotal goal and Argentine teammate Gustavo Bou added an insurance marker in the 89th minute as the Revolution beat visiting New York City FC 2-0. The victory gave New England the final Eastern Conference playoff spot and eliminated Chicago, Orlando and Montreal from post-season contention. With one week remaining in the 2019 MLS campaign, NYCFC has sealed the top East spot with defending champion Atlanta United ahead of Philadelphia for second on goal difference. DC United ranks fourth in the East after a goal-less draw with the New York Red Bulls but could still be overtaken by the Bulls or Toronto in the final game and the Revs still able to move up a spot or two in the last week. Real Salt Lake edged visiting Houston 2-1 on Venezuelan striker Jefferson Savarino’s goal in the 75th minute. Corey Baird put Real on top in the opening seconds but the Dynamo equalized on Argentine striker Tomas Martinez’s goal in the 32nd minute. Los Angeles FC has clinched the best record in MLS this season and the top spot in the Western Conference but Real Salt Lake has a chance to move up. Minnesota and Seattle, both on 53 points, meet next week to settle second place with the Los Angeles Galaxy fourth and Real Salt Lake fifth. Portland ranks sixth in the West on 46 points after drawing Kansas City 2-2, the Timbers one ahead of FC Dallas in the final playoff position. Chasing from the outside are San Jose on 44 points after a 1-0 loss to Seattle and the Colorado Rapids on 42 points after a 3-0 win over Dallas. San Jose will visit Portland next Sunday on the final day of the season while Dallas hosts Kansas City and Colorado visits LAFC. The Rapids would need to upset the league’s winningest team on the road and have Kansas City beat Dallas by enough combined goals to overcome a minus-five goal differential with the Texas club and have San Jose lost to Portland as well to reach the playoffs.

Rangers brush aside title rivals Hearts Glasgow (AFP) – Alfredo Morelos and Joe Aribo fired Rangers to a 2-0 win at Hearts on Sunday as the Scottish Premiership leaders extended their strong start under new boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Van Bronckhorst has won four successive league games since replacing Steven Gerrard after his predecessor’s move to Aston Villa. Morelos and Aribo scored in the early stages at Tynecastle, giving Rangers six consecutive league victories encompassing the end of Gerrard’s reign. Hearts had Josh Ginnelly sent off late on as they squandered a chance to close the gap on the champions. Rangers are 12 points clear of third placed Hearts and seven ahead of second placed Celtic, who host Motherwell later on Sunday. Van Bronckhorst made six changes to the Rangers side that began Thursday’s 1-1 draw at Lyon in the Europa League. Liam Boyce had a great chance to open the scoring for Hearts in the third minute when he ran on to John Souttar’s clipped ball over the top, but the Northern Ireland striker saw his lob tipped over by Allan McGregor. It was Rangers who scored with their first chance of the match after nine minutes when Ryan Kent’s cross reached Fashion Sakala and the Zambian cut the ball back to Morelos, who fired home from six yards out. Sakala shot just wide from close range moments later before Morelos headed wide from James Tavernier’s corner. Rangers’ second goal came in the 13th minute when Aribo ran on to a brilliant long diagonal from Connor Goldson and fired an angled low shot beyond the exposed Craig Gordon. Gary Mackay-Steven saw his angled shot pushed behind by McGregor early in the second half. Rangers had a let-off in the 53rd minute when Calvin Bassey knocked a Ginnelly cross off the underside of his own crossbar. Rangers remained a threat, however, and Scott Arfield and Sakala were both denied by saves from Gordon. Boyce fired over from close range after being set up by Mackay-Steven before Stephen Kingsley cracked a free kick off the bar from 30 yards out. In the 80th minute, Ginnelly was sent off after being shown a second yellow card for squaring up to Borna Barisic.
