Brian Mullan finally scores for Colorado Rapids – Major League Soccer news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-c28540 Cummings’ 79th minute strike coupled with Mullan’s first goal helped the Rapids win 2-0 against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Columbus-Crew-c38850.
Mullan’s teammates were happy for the midfielder after his first goal. Defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Drew-Moor-c11678 congratulated the right-winger for the marvelous shot.
“He’s just one of those guys, he’s a winner,” defender Drew Moor told the media. “When the ball is around him, good things seem to happen. He’s tenacious, he’s a good passer of the ball, he plays both offense and defense and we learned tonight he can score
a pretty good goal as well.”
Mullan received the ball from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wells-Thompson-c36774 on the left side of the field in 55th
minute. The player took a couple of touches before unleashing a bullet almost 30 yards out, which nestled into the top-right corner of the netting.
“I wouldn’t say that goal makes up for everything but it definitely contributes,” Mullan said. “I saw that Crew defender Josh Gardner was 15 yards away and I just tried to put it by his right ear and it happened. It rarely does but it happened that time.”
The goal would give Mullan something to cheer about following his leg breaking tackle on Seattle Sounders midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steve-Zakuani-c34184, at then-Qwest Field. Though the tackle, which resulted in Zakuani’s season ending injury, was not intentional, it was still
hard for Mullan to overcome the incident.
Moreover, the player also received a 10-match ban that affected his performances in the following weeks.
The second goal came from the Jamaican import Cummings in the 79th minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sanna-Nyassi-c32500 received the ball near the half line and dribbled closer to the opposition box. He fed Cummings at the top of the penalty area, who produced a one-touch finish
to end his own goal-draught.
