Galaxy-Colorado Update
That didn't take long.
The Rapids went 1-0 up after what looked to be just 16 seconds (MLS says 17 seconds, BTW), Omar Cummings crossing to Conor Casey who scored what pretty much amounted to a tap in, while Tony Sanneh out wide and Josh Saunders and Omar Gonzalez in the middle could only look on helplessly as they were beaten to the ball.
It any event it was the second fastest goal in MLS history; Dwayne De Rosario scoring after 11 seconds for San Jose in 2003.
