The second installment of the 2018 Rocky Mountain Cup between Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids seemed like a total domination by RSL. RSL's offense sprinted to an early lead with two unanswered goals in the first 20 minutes of play in what looked like a certain third-straight RMC victory.
Returning to his natural midfield position, Damir Kreilach sprinted into the 18-yard box just in time to connect his diving header with a cross from Joao Plata. Plata added one for himself just six minutes later.
Then the rains came.
Referee Baldomero Toledo whistled for a weather delay in the 24th minute that lasted over an hour.
