After three seasons, Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids met in the Rocky Mountain Cup final. With a win, Colorado is assured a playoff spot, but a draw can mean the Real Madrid could clinch the Rocky Mountain Cup. However, the game was tied at the end thanks to a late goal from Yura Movsisyan. This match was one of its most exciting in Colorado Rapids history.
The series ended with a draw in Colorado on October 20, after a match that was goalless on September 22. A draw would secure the trophy for Real Salt Lake for the third consecutive year. The Colorado Rapids’ worst season ended with Rob Findley’s goal in the final. Real Salt Lake won their third Rocky Mountain Cup. This is the team’s first title, and this is their best ever.
