Rimando's Kick Save Earns Save of the Week Nomination

Nick Rimando was robbed last week on MLSsoccer.com’s Save of the Week when his double-save against the Houston Dynamo was ousted in the first round. Now, Rimando is back at it again with another point-blank save, this time against the Colorado Rapids.

Down 1-0 in the 51st minute, RSL was defending a Colorado corner kick. Shkelzan Gashi sent the ball into the mixer and amidst a scramble, Bobby Burling got his right foot to it and put a shot on frame. Always on his toes, Rimando was ranging to his left, but had to leave his right foot behind to make the reaction save.
