  We show $\textsf{EOPL}=\textsf{PLS}\cap\textsf{PPAD}$. Here the class
$\textsf{EOPL}$ consists of all total search problems that reduce to the
End-of-Potential-Line problem, which was introduced in the works by Hubacek and
Yogev (SICOMP 2020) and Fearnley et al. (JCSS 2020). In particular, our result
yields a new simpler proof of the breakthrough collapse
$\textsf{CLS}=\textsf{PLS}\cap\textsf{PPAD}$ by Fearnley et al. (STOC 2021). We
also prove a companion result $\textsf{SOPL}=\textsf{PLS}\cap\textsf{PPADS}$,
where $\textsf{SOPL}$ is the class associated with the Sink-of-Potential-Line
problem.
