Omar Cummings is the first Colorado Rapids player to win the Major League Soccer goal-of-the-week award this season.

Omar Cummings scored in the 88th minute to rescue the Rapids in a 1-1 tie Saturday night in Sandy, Utah, in a match in which Colorado was severely outplayed in the first half.

Conor Casey scored two brilliant goals as the Colorado Rapids beat the Red Bulls 3-2 on Saturday in a match marred by questionable decisions to award penalty kicks to each team.

I had a chance to speak with Adrian Hanauer, the general manager and one of the owners of the Seattle Sounders, at halftime of Saturday’s 2-2 tie between the Colorado Rapids and the Sounders. He watched the game, wearing his Sounders scarf, from the press box and was quite animated. The game was 1-1 at halftime.

Despite scoring in the third minute, putting eight shots on goal and taking 10 corner kicks, the Colorado Rapids were held to a tie by New England on Saturday in a Major League Soccer fixture.

The Colorado Rapids got goals from Kosuke Kimura and Nick LaBrocca in a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night at a rainy
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The goals were LaBrocca’s first of the season and the first of Kimura’s Major League Soccer career. “Playing against 10 men, I thought we kept the ball extremely well,” Rapids coach Gary Smith said. “We win 2-nil; we’re more than happy with that.”
