Five-nil.
If that hasn’t sunk in yet, let it.
Sports rarely work out the way we dream them up. But wow, when they do, it feels good. And for supporters of the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, a weight was lifted, and an amazing performance was delivered inside Rio Tinto stadium in the form of a 5-0 win over Real Salt Lake.
It was an incredible, emotional night, in the midst of an abnormal season.
To recap: The Rapids erased a 4-1 deficit on aggregate against their biggest rival, on the road, to win the Rocky Mountain Cup for their supporters everywhere, but mostly for those back in the Centennial State.
