Shorthanded Rapids eliminate Galaxy in shootout
Rapids play a man down for most of the game; will face winner of Seattle/RSL
After 120 minutes of scoreless soccer, the Colorado Rapids advanced to the next round of Open Cup qualifying with a 4-2 penalty kick shootout win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. Colorado’s Greg Dalby was sent off for a bad tackle on the Stefani Miglioranzi in the 36th minute, but the visitors managed to last the full 90, as well as 30 minutes of extra time, without conceding -- or scoring -- a goal. In the shootout, Colorado’s Preston Burpo saved attempts by Chris Klein and Mike Magee to help the visitors move on to face the winner of the April 28 match between the Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake.
