LaBrocca, Kimura score for Rapids in 2-0 win

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Nick LaBrocca scored his first goal in nearly a year and Kosuke Kimura added his first of the season to lead the Colorado Rapids to a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.

Colin Clark assisted on both goals for the Rapids (3-2-2), who ended a three-match winless streak during which they scored two goals.

LaBrocca broke a scoreless tie in the 11th minute with his first goal since June 28, 2008, at Columbus. Kimura found the back of the net in the 60th minute.

That was more than enough offense for goalkeeper Matt Pickens, who got his first shutout of the season and 12th of his career.

Real Salt Lake (3-3-0) has yet to score in three road games, but has 12 in three games at home.
