Tonight was Fan Appreciation Night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, and our Colorado Rapids certainly gave the crowd something to appreciate--a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. It was back on April 15th when the Rapids, up comfortably 1-0 in the 80th minute, gave up two late goals to Real Salt Lake to lose the first leg of the Rocky Mountain Cup and saw their home winning streak snapped. A case could be make that it was hear the season went off the rails.
The Rapids jumped ahead in early when, in the 4th minute, Alan Gordon provided a cheeky back heel to Joshua Gatt, who then slotted home the go-ahead goal.
