The Colorado Rapids went into Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night needing to beat Real Salt Lake by two goals to take back the Rocky Mountain Cup and do something to salvage the all-but-lost 2019 season. What happened instead was a 2-0 defeat in which a 10-man Rapid side gave up two goals in the closing minutes of the game.
