We have to do it, we have to get to the next stage, the next game. We gave it our all and we move Folan Cummings on to the next stage.” ... Cummings came through with his first playoff goal as 17 Colorado defeated Columbus 1-0 in Commerce City for a second consecutive Sapong year. Cummings had scored just four goals in all competitions coming into the 99 23 game. “That’s the season if you don’t score, so I was not trying to concentrate Bravo Kamara on it too much,” Cummings said. “It’s playoff time and time to get some playoff 8 goals.” ... Brian Mullan, one of two five-time MLS Cup winners who is making Zusi his 11th consecutive appearance in the MLS Cup Playoffs, operated on the 22 15 opposite flank and started the play leading to the lone goal. “He never ceases Arnaud Espinoza to amaze, does he?” Rapids head coach Gary Smith said. “He’s like a Duracell 16 7 battery, he just keeps going. He’s got enough passion to drive himself and plen5 78 Sinovic Myers ty of others on the team. On occasions like this, when you’re in or you’re out Besler Collin and there’s no coming back from a poor result or a bad mistake, you want guys like Brian on your team.” ... The Rapids also suffered a big blow late in the 1 game when Jamie Smith was stretchered off with what was diagnosed as a Nielsen torn ACL in his right knee. Smith will be out for the remainder of the postseason. ... The Rapids were without captain Pablo Mastroeni, still suffering from a REFEREE: Baldomero Toledo. concussion. Gary Smith said Mastroeni is considered doubtful for the first leg SAR (bench): Frank Anderson; JAR (opposite): Ian Anderson; against KC. “We’re running out of bodies in there, that’s for sure,” Gary Smith 4th: Juan Guzman said. “To try and keep the team as aggressive and experienced as possible might mean popping bodies into areas that they’re not necessarily comfortable INJURY REPORT: COLORADO RAPIDS -- OUT: FW Conor Casey or happy with.

That’s all we care about.” ... WARNINGS: none Sporting won three of their final four games and are unbeaten in their last five home games. They have lost just three times since the midpoint of the season, a mark rivaled this year by only Seattle. “The guys are confident,” KC manager Peter Vermes said. “They should be confident. They’ve come COLORADO RAPIDS SPORTING KANSAS CITY a long way. We’ve knocked down some major hurdles along the way. But we’re definitely not overconfident. We’re extremely respectful of all the SUBSTITUTES FROM SUBSTITUTES FROM opponents out there that are in the playoffs.

The fact is we climbed back 10 Kandji FW 9 Bunbury FW from last place, though. It feels a little more special.” ... The Wizards also 12 Amarikwa FW 10 Jeferson MF come into the postseason after back-to-back shutouts, their first since 13 Emory MF 11 Saad FW June 17-22. “The best thing is that we’re on a little bit of a run headed into 15 Thompson MF 13 Olum DF the playoffs,” C.J.

The Rapids took the lead in the 13th minute as Conor Casey latched onto a poor back pass from Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin, rounded goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen and slid the ball toward goal. Sporting defender Matt Besler nearly cleared it off the line but only drove it into the net. But Sporting found the equalizer with a quarter-hour to play. Ryan Smith was freed on the left side of the Rapids penalty area by Teal Bunbury and finished well into the top right corner past goalkeeper Matt Pickens.

A flowing move from their own end culminated in a low shot from C.J. Sapong that was saved by Rapids 'keeper Matt Pickens. But the rebound fell directly to Graham Zusi and he calmly slid the ball into the back of the net. Colorado has not at Kansas City since 2002.
