Another instant classic of a Rocky Mountain Cup match at America First Field in Salt Lake City. Another time the Colorado Rapids were on the wrong end against Real Salt Lake. After Cole Bassett, Rafael Navarro and Djordje Mihailovic contributed to a 3-2 lead which was alive until the 85th minute, the Rapids gave up three more goals before the final whistle despite bringing on multiple defensive subs and even going for a five-man defensive unit, resulting in a forgettable scoreline of 5-3. For now, coach Chris Armas and the Rapids will take their three goals scored as a positive, especially given it was against the best team in the Western Conference away from home.
