Nat Borchers scored on a header in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw for Real Salt Lake against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, extending the team's regular-season home unbeaten streak to 24 games in Major League Soccer.

 

RSL has not lost at Rio Tinto Stadium since May 16, 2009.

Borchers knocked his header past goalkeeper Matt Pickens moments after RSL was denied a penalty kick that referee Ramon Hernandez initially indicated he would award for a Colorado handball in the box.

Though the draw kept their home streak alive, the defending MLS champions missed a chance to clinch a playoff spot, and draw even with the Los Angeles Galaxy. RSL (13-4-9) stayed two points behind the Galaxy with four regular-season games remaining.

The Rapids (10-7-8) remained in the playoff race.
