Akpan Goal Knots Rapids-Fire Game At 1-1

Omar Cummings assisted Andre Akpan on a 50th minute goal that allowed the defending Major League Soccer champion Colorado Rapids to play the Chicago Fire to a 1-1 draw Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO.

Marco Pappa put the Fire in the lead in the 43rd minute off a Dennis Oduro assist.

The Rapids are 3-3-1 with 10 points and tied with the expansion Portland Timbers (same record) for fourth place in the Western Conference standings. Colorado is on the road for their next two games -- at the Houston Dynamo Wednesday and at the New England Revolution next Saturday.

Chicago is 1-3-3 with six points and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference table and will host the expansion Vancouver Whitecaps next Saturday.
