Yura Movsisyan scores twice as Real Salt Lake edge Colorado Rapids
SANDY, Utah -- Yura Movsisyan scored two goals and Real Salt Lake
beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1 after missing two second-half penalty kicks
on Friday night.
Real Salt Lake improved to 8-0-5 at home this season and is unbeaten in 14 straight games against Colorado at Rio Tinto Stadium.
RSL
(12-8-7) tied the Rapids (11-4-10) for second in the Western
Conference. Both teams have 43 points, two behind Dallas, but Colorado,
which has only lost twice in the last 20 games, has two games in hand.
Movsisyan
tied the game in the 39th minute after a long build up and scored the
winner in the 48th with a long strike from outside the box that found
the top-right corner of the net.
However, Movsisyan missed the
frame on a penalty kick in the 57th minute and then Colorado keeper Tim
Howard made a brilliant save on Javier Morales' PK in the 83rd minute.
Shkelzen Gashi pounced on a rebound to score Colorado's only goal five minutes into the game.
