Filed under: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew, San Jose Earthquakes
The championship of Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference will be decided next week in Denver, where the Colorado Rapids will host a team from even further west, the San Jose Earthquakes, for the right to play in this year's MLS Cup Final.The odd pairing was cemented on Saturday afternoon when the visiting Rapids outlasted the Columbus Crew in a penalty kick shootout. The Crew had won the game, 2-1, squaring the series, 2-2, on aggregate. Although the hosts dominated the 30-minute overtime, they lacked the finishing touch.
The first nine penalty kicks were perfect, before Crew workhorse midfielder Brian Carroll (photo left), an MLS Cup champion with both Columbus and D.C. United, lofted his effort over the crossbar.
