galaxy skid continues vs. rapids

carson, calif. -- the los angeles galaxy saw their losing streak extended to four games as the colorado rapids left the home depot center with a 1-0 victory saturday night. in addition to the losing skid, the galaxy are winless in home games and broke a club record for offensive futility, having now gone 390 minutes without a goal.
jacob peterson's first professional goal was all the rapids needed for the victory, as bouna coundoul recorded the shutout in his first professional start between the posts.
after some anxious moments to start, colorado quickly managed to settle things down a bit and began to create some pressure of their own.
colorado won a free kick deep in galaxy territory in the seventh minute. steve cronin, who made the start in goal for los angeles, was forced into making two quick saves as the ball bounced around the area before todd dunivant finally cleared the ball out for a corner kick.
in the 13th minute, eric denton made a run forward from his left back position. after beating ugo ihemelu on the wing, denton laid the ball back for former galaxy striker jovan kirovski. kirovski directed a first time shot on target, but cronin again was there to make the save.
a minute later the rapids opened the scoring. denton slipped a ball inside the penalty area to peterson, who ran onto it inside the galaxy penalty area and inside a pair of galaxy defenders before tucking the ball underneath cronin for his first pro goal.
the galaxy tried to mount a quick response. kyle martino got the ball deep in midfield and picked out paulo nagamura. nagamura and coundoul sprinted after the ball, coundoul winning the race by a step as he slid out to smother the ball and the galaxy scoring chance.
in the 24th minute cobi jones showed he still had some spring in his 36-year-old legs beating denton to the end line and sending in a cross to the penalty spot. pete vagenas rose up to win the ball, but his glancing header was never on target.
then in first-half stoppage time the galaxy nearly struck twice. the first threat came after martino dribbled into the box and fired a shot that forced a good save from coundoul. then jones found some space from about 30 yards out and the galaxy veteran let loose from long range, narrowly missing wide of the far post.
the galaxy continued to create good chances -- but with little more effect -- after the break. on a corner kick, tyrone marshall found himself in acres of space inside the penalty area, but the jamaican -- usually so deadly in the air -- skied his header over the bar.
then dunivant sprung martino loose with a clever back heel and the galaxy newcomer fired from close range, but coundoul made a fine save to keep his side ahead.
coundoul was again called upon when john wolyniec out-dueled aitor karanka on a header and sprinted in on coundoul. from a very sharp angle wolyniec shot towards the near post, but the rapids 'keeper came up big again.
second-half substitute thiago martins did his part to revive the rapids attack. a quick turnaround shot inside the penalty area forced cronin into yet another save, then immediately after the wolyniec chance, he sent a shot over the crossbar.
herculez gomez, who entered the game to start the second half for the galaxy, came close in the 69th minute when split two defenders as he chested down a ball at the top of the box. but under heavy pressure, gomez pushed his shot wide of the net.
the galaxy then had what looked to be a sure goal stolen away from them in the 73rd minute. martino played a cross in from the left flank for gomez to run onto at the back post. from point-blank range gomez directed a powerful header on frame, but coundoul made his best save of the night to deny the galaxy striker.
the galaxy continued to press for a goal and in the 89th minute the partisan home crowd thought they had equalized. martino sent another dangerous cross into the penalty area, and this time it was second-half sub alan gordon who won the header. but it went to the outside of the net, despite the illusion that it had beaten coundoul.
just like in the first half, the galaxy put on a flurry in stoppage time. two point-blank chances were squandered in quick succession. first, wolyniec hit a shot on goal forcing a save from coundoul. coundoul coughed up a rebound, but from just six yards out, marshall sent a shot over the bar. then off another rebound attempt, wolyniec missed high, and with it went the galaxy's chance for an equalizer.
