San Jose (19-6-9) has already secured its second Supporters’ Shield and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Earthquakes went undefeated in their last 10 matches and lead the league with 72 goals. They will face the winner of Thursday’s match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps in the first round.
The Timbers (8-16-10) appeared to be going down to defeat in a cold, steady drizzle until Bright Dike scored his fifth goal in the 67th minute.
At Real Salt Lake 0, Whitecaps 0: Real Salt Lake played to a scoreless draw with Vancouver and made a little bit of history along the way in the regular-season finale.
RSL (17-11-6) became the second MLS team to not allow a goal in the first 15 minutes of any regular-season match when it held Vancouver (11-13-10) scoreless before halftime. Houston first accomplished the feat in 2009. Both teams qualified for the playoffs.
At Fire 1, D.C. United 1: Lionard Pajoy scored in the 50th minute, and Bill Hamid made eight saves to help D.C. United rally for a tie and earn second place in the Eastern Conference.

The Revolution (9-17-8) ended a 13-game winless run in road matches .
At Rapids 2, Dynamo 0: Kamani Hill and Andre Akpan scored to help Colorado beat playoff-bound Houston.
Colorado (11-19-4) finished one of the worst campaigns in franchise history with only its second two-game winning streak of the season. The Rapids were 3-5-3 in their final 11 games.
