Long-Awaited Goal Thrills Borchers
Defender Nat Borchers was happy to accept some good-natured teasing about finally scoring in Major League Soccer again, having not done so in a span of 76 games since Sept. 4, 2004, when he played for the Colorado Rapids.
“But I scored in Norway,” he said, laughing. “Nobody remembers that, of course. It hasn't been as long as everybody thinks.”
Borchers spent two seasons playing in Norway between his stints with the Rapids and RSL. But still, he played more than two full seasons between goals in MLS, and was elated to put back a loose ball from in front of the Galaxy net in the 51st minute at the Home Depot Center to help assure RSL's first road victory of the season on Saturday night.
“It's been a long time coming, he said. “I was just really happy to put that goal in give ourselves a cushion. I was very happy about that.”
