Omar Cummings and Christian Gomez scored in the second half to lead the home side to its fourth win of the season. With the two late tallies, the Rapids have scored 12 of their 13 goals this season after the break.

The game started with neither team really looking like it wanted to force the issue much, as they battled to a scoreless draw after the first 45 minutes with no real legitimate scoring chances.

The Rapids finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute when Colin Clark collected the ball on the left wing, ran up sideline and fired a perfect low cross to Cummings in the box. The Jamaican timed his run perfectly and one- timed the chance past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando. It was Cummings third goal of the season, tops on his team.

Gomez added and insurance goal eight minutes from time when he fired a penalty kick past Rimando for his second goal of the season, both were PK tallies.

The Rapids earned the chance after RSL's Matias Mantilla handled the ball in the penalty area with Herculez Gomez pressuring.

The win is the Rapids' second in the last three league fixtures and second in a row at home since dropping an 0-2 decision to the expansion San Jose Earthquakes on April 19.

Colorado (4-4-0) will look to add to the win column when it hosts Chivas USA in its nextleague fixture on May 24 while RSL (2-4-2) plays at FC Dallas earlier the same day.
