Real Monarchs and San Jose Earthquakes II played to a 1-1 draw [1] in a regular-season MLS NEXT Pro match.
The result keeps both clubs competitive within the 2026 regular-season schedule as they vie for position in the league standings. Because the match ended in a tie, neither side secured the full three points typically awarded for a victory.
The game took place at the Real Monarchs home venue in Salt Lake City, Utah [4]. While the final score was consistently reported as 1-1 [1], [2], [3], there is a contradiction regarding when the match occurred. The official MLS YouTube channel and OneFootball listed the date as June 7, 2026 [4]. However, Fox Sports reported the game took place on May 12, 2026 [5].
Both teams struggled to find a decisive edge throughout the contest. The draw reflects a balanced matchup between the two reserve-level sides, a common outcome in the developmental nature of the MLS NEXT Pro circuit.
Officials from the league and team representatives did not provide immediate post-match commentary on the scoring sequence. The highlights released via OneFootball and YouTube confirm the shared point for both the Utah-based Monarchs and the California-based Earthquakes II [1], [2].

The draw underscores the parity often found in MLS NEXT Pro, where developmental squads focus on player growth over singular match results. The discrepancy in reporting dates between Fox Sports and official league channels suggests a data synchronization error in the league's external scoring partners.
