Kimura lifts Rapids past visiting FCD

Delivering on his promise of pace and aggression, defender Kosuke Kimura gave the Colorado Rapids a 1-0 victory against FC Dallas on Saturday night with the game-winning goal in the 80th minute. Running onto a return pass from Mehdi Ballouchy on a give-and-go, Kimura took on FCD goalkeeper Ray Burse and another defender from six yards out on the right edge of the box, blasting a high shot over both their bodies and burying it in the back of the net to break a scoreless stalemate.
