Sergi Solans and Zavier Gozo score goals, RSL beats Rapids 2-1
SANDY, Utah (AP) --- Sergi Solans had a goal and an assist, Zavier Gozo added a
goal, and Real Salt Lake beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Saturday night.
Rafael Cabral had three saves for Real Salt Lake (8-4-1).
Juan Manuel Sanabria played and arcing entry pass from nearly 30 yards out and
Solans slammed home a header from near the penalty spot to give RSL a 2-1 lead
in the 68th minute.
Wayne Frederick opened the scoring in the seventh minute. Connor Ronan played a
arcing corner to the opposite side of the goal and Paxton Aaronsen skipped a
blistering entry for Frederick for a first-touch finish inside the near post.
Zach Booth dispossessed RSL in their defensive half, Solans ran onto the loose
ball and played a low cross from the right side of the area to Gozo for a
first-touch finish from near the spot to make it 1-1 in the 36th minute.
The 19-year-old Gozo --- who scored two goals, his first career multi-goal
game, in a 3-0 win over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday --- has a goal in
back-to-back games for the first time in MLS and has six goals this season.
Nico Hansen made his third consecutive start in place of the injured Zack
Steffen (shoulder) and finished with six saves.
The Rapids (5-8-1) beat Minnesota 1-0 on Wednesday to snap a three-game skid
and a five-game winless streak.
