Live on Duke. Down 1-0 early to Real Salt Lake. Niki Jackson has been sent off for Rapids for what looked like a headbutt attempt on an RSL player. No contact and a bit of a soft send off in my opinion.
Rapids making most of the play in the early stages though. Several corners and set pieces with a header cleared off the line.
Wynne on the bench.
The standard in this game is awful. I think below the A League surely, no tempo and very little good passing evident
I thought after the 1st sending off RSL went to sleep. Then it was scrappy until the 2nd goal was scored just after the half hour mark - no real quality or speed to the game, but can see what RSL trying to do, keep possession & just dragging the Rapids out of position and tiring them out.
They know they don't have to make the play or force the issue as they've essentially wrapped up the 3 points already. Rapids will do well to keep it to 3 or 4 from here.
