Real Salt Lake flew past the Colorado Rapids tonight with a big 3-0 win at home thanks to an own goal and a pair of goals from Bobby Wood and Rubio Rubin. The win moves RSL ahead of Portland and into seventh place.
The first goal went in Real Salt Lake’s favor even though they really didn’t have a hand in it. A catastrophic gaffe from Rapids goalkeeper William Yarbrough opened the scoring when a pass back from his defender went wrong, and rolled past his feet and into the net. He tried to make a last ditch save but it was too late as the ball had rolled completely over the line, putting the home side ahead 1-0 early in the game.
