Yura Movsisyan put away a Bouna Coundoul deflection in the 90th minute to give Real Salt Lake a season-ending 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce, Colo. With the point RSL earned its first trip to the Major League Soccer playoffs, retained ownership of the Rocky Mountain Cup, and ended the season for the Colorado Rapids (ASN, Oct. 26, 2008).

Movsisyan would repeat his magic a week later, scoring again in the last minute to defeat Chivas USA in the first leg of the Western Conference semifinals en route to eventually eliminating the Los Angeles club. In the Western Conference finals RSL lost to the New York Red Bulls 1-0.

In this year’s Rocky Mountain Cup finale, again held on the last day of the regular season, Movsisyan again concluded the scoring as RSL again eliminated their archrivals to again qualify for the postseason at the last minute. But the match was nowhere near as close as last year. RSL coasted to a 3-0 victory. Fortunately for Colorado, Movsisyan will not be around to complete the trifecta next season. The 22-year old striker will join Danish side Randers FC during the offseason.
