PITTSBURGH -
In a fierce offensive battle, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds defeated
the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer, 2-0, in front a vocal
crowd of 1,660 at Bethel Park Stadium. The teams met in second-round
action in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Hounds' forwards Alfredo
and Phil Karn both netted goals in the second half.
The first half
was characterized by both teams' aggressive play and missed opportunities.
Although the teams combined for 10 shots on goal, neither team could
find the back of the net. Hounds forward Alfredo missed a David
Flavius cross in the 6th minute, sending it over the crossbar, while
the Rapids' Chris Martinez' shot in the 17th minute glanced off
the crossbar.
|
Both
teams' aggressive play continued into the second half, with
the teams combining for a total of 39 fouls and five yellow
cards, four of which were handed to the Riverhounds. This aggressiveness
finally paid off for the Riverhounds in the 54th minute, when
ALFREDO redeemed his first-half miss with a head-in goal
off a cross from forward Flavius. The Rapids then rallied, but
were unable to capitalize as Hounds goalkeeper Randy Dedini
came up with several key saves in the final minutes of the second
half, including a breakaway shot by the Rapids' John Spencer.
The Hounds' secured the team's victory with a goal by Karn in
the 79th minute off a pass from midfielder Henry Gutierrez. |
With this win,
the Riverhounds advance to the third round of the Open Cup on July
11. They will play the winner of the El Paso Patriots (A-League)-Chico
Rooks (D3 Pro League) game.
The Riverhounds return to Bethel Park Stadium and to A-League action
when they play host to the Long Island Rough Riders on Sunday. Kickoff
is 6:05 p.m. Before the game from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m., all Riverhounds
players will be available for McDonalds Player Photo Card Night.
