COMMERCE CITY — Going down two goals — twice — against a team’s bitter rival is enough to drive a head coach to give a blunt one-sentence, 11-word opening remark following a loss.Colorado Rapids head coach Robin Fraser did just that in his opening postgame comments following a thoroughly disappointing 3-2 loss to Real Salt Lake in the first leg of the Rocky Mountain Cup Saturday night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.“We can’t expect to concede goals like that and win games,” Fraser said.The Rapids lost a third straight game in the span of one week, as they were unable to fight back from two-goal deficits twice at 2-0 and 3-1. Despite a late goal from Lalas Abubakar, it wasn’t enough. Colorado (2-6-6, 12 points) was unable to find its home form again as it is still winless at DSGP. The Rapids are 0-3-3 through six games this season — the last team in MLS without a home win.“As we talked about last time, one goal can’t turn into four...
